This step-by-step workflow can be performed manually (using the three AI tools directly) or automatically via the Omniscient AI platform. The manual version takes 10–15 minutes; the automated version returns results in under 30 seconds. Both produce the same output: a three-engine consensus verdict with source citations.
Step 1: Claim Isolation
Extract the specific claim to be verified from the article or source. The claim must be a standalone, testable statement: "The WHO reported that mpox cases in Europe increased 40% in Q3 2026" is testable. "The situation is concerning" is not. If the original statement is vague, rewrite it as the most specific interpretation before proceeding.
Step 2: Engine-by-Engine Verification
ChatGPT-4o: Query: "Is the following claim true? [Claim]. Cite your sources." Record verdict, confidence, and citations. Perplexity Sonar Pro: Same query. Perplexity performs live web retrieval — its citations will be real URLs. Record the same fields. Google Gemini 2.5 with Grounding: Same query. Enable Google Search grounding for real-time retrieval. Record verdict, confidence, and citations.
Step 3: Consensus Aggregation
Compare the three verdicts. Unanimous agreement with consistent sources: high confidence. Two-to-one with consistent sources: moderate confidence, note dissent. Split or contradictory: low confidence, escalate to human review with primary source check. Record the final verdict, all supporting sources, and the confidence level. Omniscient AI performs this automatically and displays results in a single interface.
