Truth Serum is an honest AI product research tool that cuts through marketing noise and tells you what real people actually think. You ask about any product, brand, or trend — by voice or text — and Truth Serum searches Reddit, review sites, and the broader web via Firecrawl, then runs the scraped evidence through Gemini to produce a structured verdict: a truth score, verdict tier (Legit / Mixed / Sketchy), pros and cons grounded in real user quotes, and a side-by-side breakdown of what the marketing says versus what users actually experience. The voice mode is powered by an ElevenLabs Conversational AI agent — a sardonic, cynical character called "The Truth Serum" who has a noir detective personality and zero tolerance for corporate fluff. While the agent speaks, the UI simultaneously generates a visual verdict card in parallel using the same backend pipeline, so you get the spoken breakdown and the data visualization at the same time. You can ask a single question ("Is the Dyson Airwrap worth it?"), run a comparison ("ChatGPT Pro vs Claude Pro"), or paste a product URL directly — the app scrapes the page and then layers in external sentiment from forums and reviews on top. Every result shows exactly where the data came from, how many sources were analyzed, and which tier of the search pipeline found the signal.
