About the Company

Hive

Builds AI models for content safety and search

Hive builds AI models for businesses that need to understand, search, and generate digital content, with a focus on online platforms and media companies. Its content moderation tools classify harmful material in images, video, text, and audio, while separate models identify synthetic media and impersonation. Developers connect the models to their applications through cloud APIs, and teams use dashboards to review flagged content and manage decisions. Customers pay for the amount of content processed, with custom pricing and support for enterprise deployments; the platform also runs image search and content generation models. Founded in 2013, Hive is headquartered in San Francisco.
