What is NewsGuard best for?
Browser extension rating news sites 0-100 on journalistic-trust criteria, using human journalists rather than an AI model to produce the rating itself. On woska, NewsGuard sits in the Research & Data category as an AI-enhanced platform, and its freemium tier lets you test the real workflow before paying. The practical question is less whether NewsGuard produces output and more whether it fits finding sources, extracting structured data, summarizing evidence, and analyzing files without adding another disconnected step.
