Try the verifier

An author wrote a short opinion piece with an AI assistant and published the conversation, with three private details withheld. Check that what you can see is what they committed to, then try to cheat.

A demo, with a made-up conversation. It runs the commitment checks from the spec in your browser: hashing every passage, rebuilding the tree, recomputing the commitment, and checking a revealed passage. Timestamps, witnesses, seals, signatures and the notary are not in it yet. Nothing here is sent anywhere.

1. The essay

The commitment at the bottom is the only thing a reader needs to trust, and every archived copy of the essay keeps it.

2. The published conversation

Dashed boxes are withheld; the label is the author's description. A solid box is the author's replacement wording, not the original.

3. Check it

Or try to cheat first Change one word the AI saidMake the assistant say a split rule is "easier" to enforce, not "harder". Relabel a withheld passageClaim the student's name was just "off-topic". Swap what is behind a withheld passageQuietly replace the hidden employer with a different one. Point the essay at a different transcriptEdit one character of the commitment in the footer.

4. A reader challenges one passage

A reader asks where the author teaches. The author can reveal that passage alone, because it is their own detail. The student's name stays withheld; revealing it is not the author's call.

What this does not show

When the conversation happened. The real tool timestamps the commitment in Bitcoin and asks for an outside witness.
Who wrote it, or how many other versions they committed to. That is the job of signatures, the author's index, and the session notary.
That an AI produced the assistant's words. Only a notarized session can show that.

Read the specification for all of it.
