Verification is infrastructure.
Laura is built by Canadians to create a verification layer for the organizations, businesses, and institutions that increasingly rely on AI. We all need to understand where the information we use comes from, and that it can be trusted.
AI rewrote how information is made and how it moves. Verification stayed the same.
Built to answer. Not to check.
AI agents retrieve, summarise, respond. They don’t verify. Accuracy was never built into the pipeline.
They check their own work.
Big platforms are building verification in-house. A conflict of interest packaged as a feature.
Canada’s on its own.
No foreign tech company will prioritise Canadian public-interest data. Someone has to.
In your workflow. Unchecked.
AI is already inside your organisation. Without verification, misinformation gets buried deeper.
Why this exists. Who’s behind it.
We are engineers, researchers, and academics. Leaders who’ve run some of the world’s largest newsrooms. Military veterans who’ve fought mis- and disinformation on the front lines. Corporate and business leaders who’ve watched trust collapse and worried about the cost for all of us. Experts who’ve helped defend democracies under coordinated information attack.
We’ve spent our careers in fields where getting verification wrong has consequences.
Our team brings deep domain expertise to the problem and applies the best of human and machine intelligence to verify what’s being said online, in the age of AI.
Backed by Canadian institutions, foundations, and citizens.
Founding contributors.
Thank you to the following who generously shared their time, experience, perspective, and guidance to help Laura take shape.
Verification gets stronger when more institutions connect.
If your work depends on information that holds up under scrutiny, or you're building AI that needs a trusted source, we want to talk.
