TOOLS ai_guments – AI powered myth buster for social media work

Expose disinformation. Automate arguments. Strengthen democracy.

The problem: disinformation overwhelms public debate

Misinformation spreads in seconds – refuting it takes hours. NGOs, trade unions and political foundations need a tool that combats disinformation quickly, accurately and collaboratively. Ai_guments is the answer.

Our Solution:

With ai_guments, we are developing an innovative SaaS solution that helps civil society organisations such as NGOs, trade unions and political foundations to efficiently detect, analyse and refute disinformation on social media. Using deep learning and AI technologies, we automate the process of recognising arguments and formulating responses, while leaving the authority to verify facts in the hands of human editors. Nevertheless, we believe that ai_guments can reduce the manual effort involved in debunking and mythbusting by up to 90%, depending on the medium. And for many editorial teams, this would make it possible to respond to such comments in the first place. 

Development partners wanted!

We’re looking for you! Are you an organisation or an individual with your own editorial team managing your social media presence? Do your topics cover politics, business, environmental protection or research? If so, we’d be delighted to work with you to tackle disinformation on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Was ist ai_guments?
ai_guments ist eine KI-gestützte SaaS-Lösung für Social-Media-Redaktionen. Das Tool unterstützt Organisationen dabei, Desinformation, Fake News und irreführende Kommentare zu erkennen und darauf faktenbasierte Antworten vorzubereiten.

Für wen wurde ai_guments entwickelt?
Das Tool richtet sich insbesondere an alle Organisationen und Privatpersonen, die ihre Community auf Social Media professionell betreuen und Desinformation wirksam begegnen möchten.

What problem does ai_guments solve?
Social media teams are often under time pressure. At the same time, disinformation and coordinated fake news campaigns can spread in the blink of an eye. ai_guments significantly reduces the time and effort required for fact-checking, suggests relevant facts and helps your editorial teams respond quickly and with confidence.

Will AI replace our editorial team?
No. ai_guments assists with analysis, research and the drafting of suggested responses. The decision on whether and how a response is published always rests with the editorial team. We call this principle ‘Human in the Loop’.

Which social media platforms are supported?
The browser extension is designed for use on LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook.

How does aiguments work?
The process is very simple:

  1. Comments are identified via the browser extension.
  2. The AI analyses content and patterns of argumentation.
  3. Relevant response templates are found using vector search.
  4. The system generates an (editable) suggested response.
  5. The editorial team reviews and publishes the response

Where do the facts come from?
The answers are based on reliable and verifiable sources, which you can include in the argumentation guide alongside the sample answers in the form of URLs. This ensures that the sources for the suggested answers are always transparent and can be updated at any time.

Can our organisation use its own content?
Yes. Position papers, FAQs, studies, guidelines or other documents can be integrated into the knowledge base. AI-generated suggested responses will then be based on your guidelines and response templates. Alternatively, you can also integrate an in-house AI system for this purpose, provided it can be accessed externally via an OpenAI-compatible interface.

How much time can the tool save?
Depending on the area of application, the manual effort involved in debunking and myth-busting can be reduced by up to 90 per cent. For many organisations, this makes professional community management a realistic option in the first place.

Is aiguments compliant with data protection regulations?
Data protection and digital sovereignty are key development objectives. The solution is designed to ensure that organisations retain control over their data and that modern data protection requirements are taken into account.

Do we need any special technical knowledge?
No. The system is accessed via a browser extension and an easy-to-use interface. After a brief introduction, editorial teams can start using the system straight away in their day-to-day work.

What is the browser extension?
The browser extension integrates aiguments directly into the user interface of supported social media platforms. Staff receive analysis results and suggested replies right where they work every day – without having to switch between different applications.

Is the product already in use?
ai_guments is currently in the pilot and development phase. Together with development partners, the system is being tested in real-world conditions and continuously refined.

Who can become a development partner?
We are looking for organisations and committed individuals who:

  • manage social media channels

  • have experience in community management

  • would like to test the tool in everyday use

  • are able to provide constructive feedback for its further development.

Is there a charge for taking part in the pilot project?
No. Participation in the pilot project is free of charge. A non-binding letter of intent is sufficient to take part.

How can I get involved?
You can arrange a meeting straight away or fill in the contact form. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible to discuss the next steps together.

What does taking part involve?
Once you’ve got in touch, we’ll get to know each other during a brief chat. We’ll then discuss the planned project, set up your trial access and support you throughout the pilot phase.
