AI News Article Bias Checker

WHAT IT DOES

AI News Article Bias Checker helps you critically evaluate news articles for potential bias and one-sided reporting. Provide an article headline and summary, and the agent returns a structured bias analysis with four sections: Language Analysis (emotional or loaded language used), Source Evaluation (credibility and potential bias of the source), Perspective Identification (whose viewpoint is represented), and Balance Assessment (how well different sides are presented). The analysis is objective and informative, helping you become a more discerning consumer of news.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf and paste your BotGentz API key once (the host stores it securely). In the input box, enter the news article headline and a brief summary. Press "Check Bias" or use Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter) to run. The agent returns a formatted bias analysis with all four sections. You can also click "Use page selection" to pull selected text from the surrounding page—such as news articles, headlines, or notes—directly into the input field. Regenerate as many times as you like within your monthly limit, refining your input to get more detailed feedback.

WHAT IT SENDS

The agent sends exactly the text you type into the input box—nothing else. It does not send browser history, cookies, page context, analytics, or any hidden metadata. The request fires only when you explicitly click the check button or press the keyboard shortcut. Usage logs record only that a request occurred and the timestamp, for billing and quota tracking; they never log the content of your article data or the generated analysis. Your reading preferences are not stored, shared, or used for model training. The bridge transmits a form-encoded POST payload, and the response returns directly to your panel.

SUBSCRIPTION

The agent costs $19.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial and no upfront charge. Each subscription includes 100 runs per month—sufficient for analysing multiple articles, tracking bias across different sources, or supporting ongoing media literacy. Unused runs do not roll over. You can cancel anytime from your BotSurf account settings. The trial converts to a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel before the seventh day. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees.

THE PANEL

The agent runs as a movable, resizable panel inside BotSurf. Drag the panel by its header to position it anywhere on screen; it snaps to the nearest edge for a tidy workspace. Click the collapse button or press the Escape key to minimize it to a small floating bubble, keeping it accessible without blocking your view. The panel remembers its position and collapsed state across sessions using the host's state API. The header shows only the title text, while the collapsed bubble displays the emoji icon for quick visual identification.

PLEASE NOTE

This agent uses a large language model to generate text based on patterns in its training data. While designed to be helpful, AI can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or overly subjective bias analyses. This tool provides a draft analysis only and is not a substitute for professional media analysis, journalism ethics, or critical thinking. Always consult multiple sources and use your own judgment when evaluating news. For specific media decisions, consult with qualified journalists or media analysts.
