Eyeball is an indie tool that fights AI hallucination in document analysis by embedding inline screenshots of the actual source passages alongside each AI-generated claim. When you analyze a PDF or document with Eyeball, the output is a Word doc where every statement has a highlighted screenshot of the precise text it came from — because screenshots are harder to hallucinate than quotes. The tool emerged from a simple observation: AI systems routinely fabricate citations and misquote sources, and quote-only verification still requires humans to manually hunt down the original text. Eyeball short-circuits that by attaching the visual evidence directly to each claim in the output document. Legal, compliance, and research reviewers can audit AI outputs at a glance rather than cross-referencing. Built in Python, Apache 2.0 licensed, launched as a Show HN six days ago and gaining traction. The approach is low-tech by design — no vector embeddings, no proprietary API calls — just precise text highlighting, screenshot capture, and Word document assembly. The simplicity is the point: verifiable AI outputs shouldn't require a research budget.

Reviewer scorecard
“This is the kind of clever, unglamorous tool that actually solves a real problem. The insight that screenshots are harder to hallucinate than quotes is simple but profound. Drop this into any pipeline that serves legal or compliance users immediately.”
“Another solid open-source Retool alternative. The visual builder and data source connectors are comprehensive.”
“Screenshots of source text don't prevent the underlying problem — an AI can still misinterpret or misconstrue what the screenshot says. It adds friction to the review process without fixing the root cause. Useful for basic verification but don't mistake it for a hallucination solution.”
“The low-code internal tools market has good open-source options. ToolJet competes well with Appsmith.”
“Provenance-by-design is going to be mandatory for AI in regulated industries. Eyeball's approach — baking visual evidence into every claim — points toward a future where AI outputs are self-auditing. This is an indie tool today; it's a compliance standard in three years.”
“For editorial and research work, knowing exactly where an AI got its information is table stakes. Eyeball makes that process visual and immediate — that's a huge quality-of-life improvement for anyone who fact-checks AI-generated research.”
“The visual builder is intuitive. Non-developers can modify dashboards without developer assistance.”
