Hive AI-Generated Content Detection
San Francisco, California, United States
What it is
Hive AI-Generated Content Detection provides separate APIs for identifying AI-generated visual media, text, and audio, along with a free Chrome extension for scanning those formats in real time without a fee or Hive login. Image and video results include confidence scores and, when identified, the synthesis source. Text results include an overall classification and confidence score, plus classifications and scores for each 2048-character segment. Audio clips are divided into 10-second chunks, each classified as AI-generated or not AI-generated with a confidence score. Developers can use REST endpoints that return JSON labels and scores, with documentation and code samples. On-premises deployment is available. Hive says its infrastructure is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports TLS encryption in transit, SAML single sign-on, and configurable data retention. A Developers plan is listed as free, with $50+ in Free Credits after adding a payment method; selected models are pay-as-you-go. Paid detection plans are listed at $6 a month for video, $6 a month for image and deepfake classification, and $10 a month for audio classification, with usage billing and 100 requests/day.
For and against
For
