in today's digital age, the propagation and proliferation of misinformation are very alarming and dangerous, especially in a dynamic, religious and cultural society like Nigeria. During the session, we will unveil the architecture and development process of an AI-powered fact-checking platform called myaifactcecker designed specifically to combat misinformation in Nigeria and Africa at large. Leveraging Python for core functionality and Django for a robust backend, we will integrate Langchain, a framework designed to simplify the creation of applications using large language models and Tavily's advanced search API optimized for LLMs and RAG techniques to supercharge our platform's ability to conduct in-depth searches for factual verification.

Additionally, we'll integrate a Python library like Google-search to allow users to directly query for sources related to the claim being fact-checked. This empowers users to delve deeper and verify information themselves, fostering media literacy and effectively combating misinformation. By the end of the session, attendees will gain the necessary skills to leverage these technologies and build their fact-checking applications.
