About Tattle

WhatsApp is one of the most widely-used social media platforms in India. Information including misinformation spreads quickly on the platform. The effects can be far ranging — from changes in people’s health choices to greater social tension in communities and in extreme cases violence against individuals. Tattle aims to support and scale existing fact-checking efforts by creating channels for sourcing content from WhatsApp and other Chat App users; using machine learning to categorize and classify multilingual, multimedia content circulated on chat apps; and distributing fact checked information so that it is accessible to mobile-first audience. In the process Tattle aims to enable more transparent research on misinformation in closed networks. 

Tattle recently won the AI and News Open Challenge. Our team is small and cross functional; and values every team member’s input in achieving the shared vision of the project. We also believe in working smarter when it comes to identifying needs and solutions and value innovation and creativity in day to day work.

Diversity:

Tattle Civic Technologies is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity of experiences and perspectives and encourage candidates of all background to apply.
