Introducing Sightengine Detect: AI Content Verification Without Code
Not everyone who needs to verify AI-generated content is a developer. Journalists fact-checking images before publication, trust & safety analysts investigating user reports, compliance officers reviewing flagged content, investigators tracing the origin of synthetic media. They all need fast, reliable answers without writing a single line of code.
Sightengine Detect is a visual, no-code dashboard for AI content verification. Drag and drop an image, video, or audio file, and get instant results powered by the same detection models that serve millions of API requests per month.
Sightengine Detect in action: drag and drop content to get instant AI detection resultsHow it works
Sightengine Detect is designed for speed and simplicity. The workflow is straightforward:
- Upload your content. Drag and drop an image, video, or audio file directly into the dashboard. No API keys, no configuration, no code.
- Get instant results. The dashboard displays the analysis within seconds, including the overall AI probability score and detailed per-generator confidence scores.
- Explore the details. Drill into the results to understand exactly what the detection models found: which generators are most likely, how confident the system is, and for video, which specific frames are AI-generated.
Per-generator confidence scores
Sightengine Detect doesn't just tell you whether content is AI-generated. It tells you which generator likely created it, with individual confidence scores for each.
Per-generator confidence scores displayed in Sightengine Detect
The dashboard visualizes confidence scores across 20+ generators, including DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Flux, GPT-4o, Ideogram, Firefly, Sora, Runway, Kling, and many more. Each score is displayed clearly so analysts can immediately see which generator is the most likely source and how confident the system is in that determination.
This level of detail is critical for forensic work. Knowing that an image was generated by Midjourney v6 rather than Stable Diffusion XL can inform an investigation, support a policy decision, or help trace a coordinated campaign. Learn more about per-generator confidence scores
Frame-by-frame video analysis
Video verification is where Sightengine Detect truly stands out. The dashboard provides frame-by-frame AI detection results for every video you upload.
Frame-by-frame AI detection in Sightengine Detect: drag through the timeline to see results for each segment
You can drag through the video timeline and instantly see which parts are AI-generated and which are authentic. This is especially valuable for:
- Mixed-content videos: where real footage is spliced with AI-generated segments. Frame-level analysis reveals exactly where the manipulation begins and ends.
- Long-form content: where manually reviewing every frame would be impractical. The visual timeline lets analysts jump directly to the flagged segments.
- Evidence gathering: where precise timestamps of synthetic content are needed for reports or legal proceedings.
The video analysis covers content from major AI video generators including Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling, Pika, Wan, and Midjourney, with new generators added continuously.
Audio and music analysis
Sightengine Detect also supports AI-generated music detection. Upload an audio track and the dashboard will analyze it for signs of AI generation, helping platforms protect creator rights and verify the authenticity of audio content.
Who is Sightengine Detect for?
Journalists and fact-checkers
When a breaking-news image surfaces on social media, journalists need to verify its authenticity before publication. Sightengine Detect provides instant analysis with the detail needed to make confident editorial decisions. No technical setup, no waiting for an API integration.
Trust & Safety teams
T&S analysts investigating user reports can upload flagged content directly into the dashboard to quickly assess whether it's AI-generated. Per-generator scores help analysts understand the nature of the content and apply the appropriate policy response.
Government and compliance
Regulatory and compliance teams reviewing content for policy violations, election integrity, or legal proceedings can use the dashboard to produce clear, detailed analysis without depending on engineering resources.
Investigators
Law enforcement and private investigators working on fraud, impersonation, or intellectual property cases can use per-generator attribution and frame-level video analysis as part of their evidence-gathering workflow.
Enterprise-ready
Sightengine Detect is built for organizational use, not just individual analysts:
- Team access and user management: add team members with appropriate access controls.
- Shared analysis history: results are stored and accessible to the team, enabling collaborative investigation workflows.
- Higher rate limits: enterprise plans support the throughput needed for large-scale verification operations.
- Longer media uploads: analyze extended video and audio files that exceed standard limits.
- Commercial licensing: full commercial rights for business use, with enterprise support and SLAs.
Powered by proven detection technology
The models behind Sightengine Detect are the same ones that power our API, trusted by enterprises processing millions of items per month. In an independent benchmark conducted by researchers from the Universities of Kansas and Rochester, Sightengine ranked #1 in AI-media detection accuracy with a 98.3% accuracy rate on 80,000 images — surpassing all competing commercial solutions.
This isn't a separate, simplified tool with watered-down models. Sightengine Detect gives non-technical users full access to our best detection technology through an intuitive interface.
