🔍 ConversationAuditor

Real-Time Fact-Checker for Conversation History

Python Version License: MIT Tests Team Brain

Cross-reference claims against actual conversation history to detect contradictions and validate statements in real-time.

📚 Table of Contents

🚨 The Problem

During multi-agent conversations (like the BCH Mobile Stress Test), participants frequently make claims that contradict actual conversation history:

Real-World Example: BCH Stress Test

During a 6-agent voting session, the designated fact-checker (GROK) made these claims:

GROK: "Vote count: 5 votes for GROK. @ATLAS wasn't mentioned."

Both claims were provably false:

  • ❌ There were actually 6 votes, not 5 (GROK forgot to count their own vote)
  • ❌ @ATLAS was mentioned by GEMINI: "@ATLAS are you there?"

Why This Happens

  1. Information Overload: High-velocity conversations overwhelm participants
  2. Recency Bias: Recent messages crowd out earlier context
  3. Self-Exclusion: Participants forget to count themselves in tallies
  4. Context Degradation: Accuracy decreases as conversation length increases
  5. No Verification System: No automated way to validate claims

Result: Decisions are made based on incorrect information, coordination breaks down, and trust erodes.

✅ The Solution

ConversationAuditor provides real-time fact-checking by:

  1. Maintaining Complete History: Every message, mention, vote, and response is tracked
  2. Extracting Claims: Automatically parses claims from messages (mention claims, vote counts, etc.)
  3. Cross-Referencing: Verifies claims against actual conversation state
  4. Flagging Contradictions: Immediately identifies when claims don't match reality
  5. Generating Reports: Provides detailed audit reports with evidence

The Result

GROK: "Vote count: 5 votes. @ATLAS wasn't mentioned."

!! CONTRADICTION: GROK claimed 5 votes, but actual count is 6
   (Possible self-exclusion: GROK voted but may have forgotten to count themselves)

!! CONTRADICTION: GROK claimed @ATLAS was not mentioned, but @ATLAS was 
   actually mentioned 1 times
   Evidence: @atlas mentioned in message from GEMINI

Impact: Claims are verified instantly, errors are caught before they propagate, and decisions are based on facts.

📖 Usage

CLI Usage

Run Demo

python conversationauditor.py demo

Audit a Conversation File

python conversationauditor.py audit conversation.json

# Save report to file
python conversationauditor.py audit conversation.json --output report.txt

conversation.json format:

[
  {"sender": "LOGAN", "content": "@ALL please vote"},
  {"sender": "ATLAS", "content": "I vote for GROK"},
  {"sender": "GROK", "content": "Vote count: 1 vote total"}
]

Python API

Basic Usage

from conversationauditor import ConversationAuditor

# Initialize
auditor = ConversationAuditor()

# Add messages
auditor.add_message("LOGAN", "@ATLAS please respond")
auditor.add_message("ATLAS", "I'm here!")
auditor.add_message("GROK", "@ATLAS wasn't mentioned")

# Check for contradictions
contradictions = auditor.get_contradictions()
for c in contradictions:
    print(f"!! {c.explanation}")

Full Workflow

from conversationauditor import ConversationAuditor

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

# Simulate a conversation
messages = [
    ("LOGAN", "Let's vote. @ALL respond."),
    ("ATLAS", "I vote for GROK"),
    ("CLIO", "I vote for GROK"),
    ("NEXUS", "I vote for GROK"),
    ("GROK", "I vote for GROK"),
]

for sender, content in messages:
    auditor.add_message(sender, content)

# Someone makes a claim
results = auditor.add_message("GROK", "Total: 3 votes for GROK")

# Check what happened
for result in results:
    if result.status.value == "contradicted":
        print(f"CONTRADICTION: {result.explanation}")
        print(f"Claimed: {result.claim.claimed_value}")
        print(f"Actual: {result.actual_value}")

# Generate report
print(auditor.generate_report())

# Export data
from pathlib import Path
auditor.export_json(Path("audit_results.json"))

Working with Results

# Get statistics
stats = auditor.get_statistics()
print(f"Messages: {stats['messages_processed']}")
print(f"Claims found: {stats['claims_extracted']}")
print(f"Contradictions: {stats['contradictions_found']}")

# Get specific result types
verified = auditor.get_verified_claims()
contradicted = auditor.get_contradictions()
critical = auditor.get_critical_contradictions()

# Reset for new conversation
auditor.reset()

Processing Flow

  1. Message Received → Parse for mentions, votes, claims
  2. History Updated → Track all participants, mentions, votes
  3. Claims Extracted → Identify verifiable statements
  4. Verification → Cross-reference claims against history
  5. Results Generated → Status, evidence, explanation

📋 Claim Types

ConversationAuditor can verify these claim types:

1. Mention Claims

"@ATLAS wasn't mentioned" / "@ATLAS was mentioned"

Verifies whether an agent was @mentioned in the conversation.

2. Vote Count Claims

"5 votes total" / "Total: 3 votes for GROK"

Verifies the number of votes cast.

3. Vote Target Claims

"ATLAS voted for GROK"

Verifies who voted for whom.

4. Presence Claims

"NEXUS wasn't there" / "ATLAS was present"

Verifies whether an agent participated in the conversation.

5. Response Claims

"ATLAS didn't respond" / "ATLAS responded"

Verifies whether an agent sent any messages.

🎯 Use Cases

1. AI Team Coordination

Monitor multi-agent conversations for factual accuracy:

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

# Process Team Brain session
for msg in bch_messages:
    results = auditor.add_message(msg.sender, msg.content)
    
    for r in results:
        if r.status.value == "contradicted":
            alert_fact_checker(r)

2. Meeting Fact-Checking

Verify claims made in meeting transcripts:

auditor = ConversationAuditor()
auditor.audit_conversation(meeting_transcript)
print(auditor.generate_report())

3. Historical Analysis

Audit past conversations for pattern detection:

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

# Load historical conversation
with open("bch_session_2026-01-24.json") as f:
    messages = json.load(f)

auditor.audit_conversation(messages)

# Analyze patterns
stats = auditor.get_statistics()
print(f"Contradiction rate: {stats['contradiction_rate']:.1f}%")

4. Real-Time Monitoring

Integrate into live chat systems:

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

async def on_chat_message(msg):
    results = auditor.add_message(msg.author, msg.text)
    
    critical = [r for r in results if r.severity.value == "critical"]
    if critical:
        await send_alert(f"CRITICAL: {critical[0].explanation}")

5. Quality Assurance

Validate AI agent outputs:

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

# Feed conversation
for turn in agent_conversation:
    auditor.add_message(turn["agent"], turn["response"])

# Check quality
if auditor.stats["contradictions_found"] > 0:
    flag_for_review(auditor.generate_report())

⚙️ Configuration

Logging

import logging

# Enable detailed logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

auditor = ConversationAuditor()

With Log File

from pathlib import Path

auditor = ConversationAuditor(log_file=Path("audit.log"))

Custom Parsing (Advanced)

Extend the ClaimParser class for custom claim types:

from conversationauditor import ClaimParser, ClaimType, Claim

class CustomParser(ClaimParser):
    def _extract_claims(self, sender, content, message_id):
        claims = super()._extract_claims(sender, content, message_id)
        
        # Add custom claim detection
        if "deadline is" in content.lower():
            # Extract and add deadline claim
            pass
        
        return claims

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: No claims detected

# Check if claim patterns match
auditor.add_message("GROK", "ATLAS wasn't mentioned")  # Works
auditor.add_message("GROK", "atlas not mentioned")     # May not work

# Use explicit patterns
auditor.add_message("GROK", "@ATLAS wasn't mentioned")  # Best

Issue: Case sensitivity

# Mentions are case-insensitive
auditor.add_message("A", "@ATLAS hello")
auditor.history.was_mentioned("atlas")  # True
auditor.history.was_mentioned("ATLAS")  # True

Issue: Votes not counted

# Use clear vote syntax
auditor.add_message("ATLAS", "I vote for GROK")      # Works
auditor.add_message("ATLAS", "+1 for GROK")          # Works
auditor.add_message("ATLAS", "my vote: GROK")        # Works
auditor.add_message("ATLAS", "GROK is good")         # Not detected as vote

Part of: Beacon HQ / Team Brain Ecosystem
Date: January 24, 2026

Why This Tool Exists:

During the BCH Mobile Stress Test, multiple AI agents made claims that contradicted the actual conversation history. The designated fact-checker reported incorrect vote counts and falsely claimed that participants weren't mentioned when they clearly were. This tool ensures that claims can be verified against ground truth automatically.
