How this service works
New Runtime tracks the systems, signals, and shifts reshaping software as agents become first-class participants in work, products, and organizations.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a verdict (e.g. 'corroborated', 'unverified', 'false'), sample social posts supporting or refuting the claim, an official source URL if found, a list of trusted authors who covered it, and a count of independent authors who wrote about it.
Example use cases
Verifying a viral AI startup rumor
“I just saw on Twitter that Anthropic is planning to shut down its API next month — can you check if that claim is corroborated by any trusted or independent sources?”
Checking a product launch leak
“There's a rumor going around that a major agent framework is dropping a new v2 release this week with autonomous memory — can you verify whether this claim has any official backing or independent corroboration?”
Due diligence on funding news
“Before I write my newsletter, can you fact-check the claim that 'Cognition AI closed a $500M round at a $4B valuation' and tell me if it's been corroborated by trusted authors or official sources?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://newruntime.com/agent-payments/rumor-check?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to quickly fact-check or corroborate a specific rumor or claim in the AI, software, or agent-ecosystem space — particularly when you want both a structured verdict and supporting evidence from trusted and independent authors. Prefer this over general web search when you want a synthesized corroboration signal rather than raw search results, and when the claim is about agent-shaped software, AI products, or tech industry shifts covered by New Runtime's signal network.
Side effects
- Claim too short (under 10 characters) or too long (over 300 characters) — returns validation error
- Claim is too vague or ambiguous to search against known sources — may return low-confidence or empty results
- No social posts or official sources found — verdict may be 'unverified' with empty sample_posts
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if upstream source indexing is slow
