How it works
Every story has a patient zero
Chrono Origin steps backward through the record until the trail runs out — and shows the real, oldest known origin instead of the most-shared version.
1 · Ask about any claim
Enter a myth, quote, news story, or historical event you want to trace to its source.
2 · It traces backward
Google-grounded AI search keeps stepping further back as long as new evidence appears, mapping how the story evolved.
3 · Reach the origin
Follow the cited chain to the earliest known source — and audit every link yourself.
