Every AI launch sounds revolutionary. Reality Filter cuts through it — paste any AI launch and get a straight verdict: worth trying now, watch later, too early, or mostly fog machine. Every verdict comes with real evidence: what's proven, what's missing, what named experts and real users actually say — not just the press release. Verdicts are dated and kept public, so if a call ages badly, it's on record. Free, no signup needed to see a verdict.
Hey everyone! 👋
I built Reality Filter because I was tired of every AI launch reading like a movie trailer — "most powerful ever," "changes everything" — with no easy way to tell if there was a real product behind it. I was spending 30-40 minutes every week digging through Reddit, X, docs and pricing pages just to answer one question: is this actually real, or just hype?
So I built a tool that does that check for you. Paste in any AI launch and get one straight verdict — worth trying now / watch later / too early / mostly fog machine — backed by real evidence: what's independently proven, what's missing, and what named experts and real users actually say.
A few already filed: Salesforce Agentforce came back "mostly fog" — they promised a billion AI agents by end of 2025, but their own filings show only ~6% of customers actually pay for it.
Every verdict is dated and kept on a public record, so if a call ages badly, it's on me — no quiet edits.
This is still an early validation build (I'm 17 and building this solo), and I'd genuinely love your honest feedback — what would make you actually use something like this? Tear it apart, I can take it. 🙏
Tried it on a hyped launch I'd been curious about and the verdict basically called out the fog machine vibes I was suspecting. Honestly the public dated record thing is smart, keeps everyone honest.
One thing I'd love to see is a browser extension so I can highlight any AI launch text on a webpage and get the verdict right there without copying and pasting into your tool.
love how verdicts are dated and left public, basically forcing accountability when a call ages badly. most AI review tools hide behind private scoring, so this kind of transparency on the verdict history is a really sharp design choice
A "compare two launches side by side" view would be really useful here, so you can see at a glance how Reality Filter judged similar products and which call held up better over time.
Pasted in a launch I'd been waffling on and the verdict flagged two claims the post never backed up, with links to actual testers weighing in. Genuinely useful for cutting through the noise without needing another login.
Finally got honest pushback on something I was hyped about. The "watch later" verdict came with actual gaps in the evidence listed out, which is way more useful than another take telling me to drop everything and try it.
The public dated verdicts thing is genuinely clever — most AI review tools just give you a snapshot and move on, so having receipts on whether a call ages well or poorly is kind of a gutsy move. Honestly respect that.
Pasted in a launch I was skeptical about and the verdict nailed it, citing a real benchmark study I hadn't seen. Love that the call is timestamped and on record.
Would love a way to submit counter-evidence or corrections directly on a verdict page, kind of like a comment thread tied to specific claims. That way if an early "too early" call gets disproven by new benchmarks, the community can flag it and the record stays accurate instead of relying only on the team's own updates.
Love the dated public verdicts idea, that accountability hook is great. One thing that would really help me trust the calls more: add a quick confidence score next to each verdict, like a 1-5 rating based on how much real evidence you actually found. If a verdict is mostly fog machine but only because the launch was three hours old and barely anyone has tested it yet, I want to know that. It would help me tell the difference between "this genuinely looks weak" and "we just don't have enough signal yet."
