Reality Defender

Reality Defender is an enterprise deepfake and AI-generated media detection platform that identifies manipulated images, video, audio, and text across calls, meetings, onboarding, and access workflows in real time. Its detection API accepts uploaded media or social-media URLs and returns an ensemble verdict aggregating multiple purpose-built detection models, letting platforms, financial institutions, and governments block deepfakes before they authorize payments, spread disinformation, or deceive AI agents. Reality Defender ships official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, and Java, an open-source MCP server for agent integrations, and a Slack app. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of DCVC.

Reality Defender publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Deepfake Detection, Artificial Intelligence, Media Authentication, and Content Moderation.

Reality Defender’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.
