TRULY is Europe's facts interface for an overwhelmed public.

In a time when populist rhetoric spreads faster than truth, TRULY translates political statements, viral headlines, and polarizing narratives into verifiable, understandable facts. Neutral, transparent, and source-based. Instead of amplifying opinions, TRULY exposes where manipulation, simplification, or emotional manipulation occurs, including a systematic manipulation check.

TRULY doesn't explain who is right. TRULY shows what is true.

As an app, analysis tool and democratic infrastructure, TRULY provides guidance for citizens, media and organizations that want to base decisions on knowledge rather than fear, noise or algorithms.

Stage

Timo Wagner and Lukas Wimmer are the founders of TRULY and also the minds behind Studio Y-si, a strategic design studio at the intersection of futures research, venture design, and digital products. For years, they have been developing visionary yet practical solutions for organizations that take social responsibility seriously – with a clear focus on regeneration, inclusion, and evidence-based decision-making.

Their background: making complex topics understandable, rethinking systems, and shaping technology to empower rather than manipulate people. Whether democracy, education, sustainability, or AI – Studio Y-si works consistently with a fact-based, human-centered, and future-oriented approach. TRULY is the logical next step in this philosophy: a product of design, technology, and attitude, built to restore trust and ground public discourse in verifiable facts.
