If you want to replace an existing title on a portal and you want the replaced title to be visible to you and your followers.

Move the mouse over the title and make a right click.

Select Remedia -> Alternate Title from the menu

In the pop-up window, enter a new title that you like.

The blue icon copies the existing title into the input field, so you don't have to type everything...

By pressing Submit, the title will be replaced, which will be visible to you and others who visit the pages.

The extension automatically checks only the address of the page you're viewing, on every page you visit. On Facebook, when you right-click to open the menu, the extension reads the nearby post or comment text locally in your browser so the chosen action is ready immediately — but nothing is sent to our server until you pick a specific action (e.g. "Generate response" or "Summarize article"). It doesn't read your messages, passwords or forms, and we don't sell data. More in our 

The Remedia extension

When you read an article Remedia has reviewed, you'll see a label with the rating and a link to the review.

On supported news sites we replace clickbait headlines with one that says what the article is actually about. These headlines are written automatically by AI and labeled as such. If one is off, let us know.

Pages that users have flagged as unreliable appear dimmed, so you can decide for yourself whether to read them.

You can contact one of the fact-checking organizations.

Legal notice

Remedia, the best thing that happened to media!

News sites formally reported to Croatia's Electronic Media Agency for breaching their legal duty to moderate reader comments.

Media accountability

AI prepares a draft; only a person publishes. We sign this content as "Remedia Ai", so no one takes personal credit for text that AI partly wrote.

AI writes and publishes these automatically, without prior human review. They are labeled as automatically generated, and editors review them afterwards and remove bad ones. If you see a bad headline, please report it.

AI writes a short post for a new article. The post is scheduled with a delay, during which an editor can edit or cancel it.

AI only suggests which comments need review. People make the decisions.

. When we correct content, we note at the bottom of the article what was corrected and when.

We make mistakes too. If you think a review contains an error, write to
