WhatsApp Fact-Checking Bot with Perplexity AI & Twilio
Automated WhatsApp bot receives messages, fact-checks claims using Perplexity AI, and replies with verdicts and sources via Twilio.
This n8n workflow creates a powerful WhatsApp fact-checking bot that combats misinformation. Users send news claims or questions to a Twilio WhatsApp number, triggering the webhook node to capture the incoming message. The Perplexity AI node then analyzes the content using a custom prompt, searching the web for reliable sources to deliver a verdict like '✅ Likely True' or '❌ Likely False', along with a summary.
The response is formatted with the verdict, key summary, and direct source links, then sent back via the Twilio node. This setup requires Twilio and Perplexity API credentials, making it quick to deploy for personal or community use.
Benefits include real-time misinformation detection, automation of research tasks, and easy scalability for groups or businesses. Ideal use cases: community WhatsApp groups, news verification services, educational tools, or customer support for fact-based queries, saving hours of manual checking.
