Veritas Personal Statement.txt

Veritas started with a question I couldn’t stop asking. Why do we let people in power say whatever they want without ever holding them to what they said before? I kept seeing headlines, speeches, and tweets that contradicted each other, sometimes only weeks apart, and nobody seemed to care. Or worse, they forgot. That bothered me more than anything.

I built Veritas because I wanted to create something that doesn’t forget. It’s an AI-powered web app that tracks what politicians say, finds inconsistencies, and shows users how their words have changed over time. It pulls from tweets, interviews, press releases, and debates, and compares them in context. It’s not about bias or choosing sides. It’s about accountability and memory.

The name comes from Latin. Veritas means truth. And that’s all this is about. Not truth as a brand or a weapon, but as a baseline. As something that should just be there.

I’m not trying to go viral or stir up outrage. I’m trying to make something useful. Something clear. Something that helps people see through the noise and get closer to what’s real. I believe AI should be used to uncover truth, not just generate content. Veritas is one way I’m trying to do that.

For me, this project isn’t just about politics. It’s about systems, trust, and information. It’s about giving people tools that actually help them think for themselves. I’m still building it out, and I know there’s a long way to go, but the mission is simple. If someone says something, they should stand by it. If they change their mind, they should explain why. If they lie, people should know.

That’s what Veritas is about.
