Perspecteev

Perspecteev positions itself as a kind of media-literacy companion in the browser. You install the extension, land on a news article, click the icon, and within seconds you get a breakdown of the piece rather than just a verdict. Its data model is multi-criteria: political bias, political nuance, emotional polarity, linguistic complexity, clickbait intensity, citation and referencing practice, source reliability, language neutrality, relevance of statistics used, and source diversity. The combination is meant to reveal both what the article says and how it says it.

The extension was published by an individual developer and the Chrome Web Store description is written in French, suggesting an initial French-speaking audience, though the analysis is not inherently language-bound. It is distributed entirely through the Chrome Web Store with no separate account, dashboard or paid tier attached; the listing is small and early-stage, so the practical value is best judged by trying it on articles you already know well.

Because AI bias scoring is inherently approximate, Perspecteev is better used as a prompt for critical reading than as an authority. Treat the scores as a starting checklist — did this piece hedge its claims, does the headline match the body, are the sources varied — rather than as a definitive measure of an outlet's politics.
