And one request kept coming: a public API to build deepfake detection into any stack.

🙌 We heard you!

We’re psyched to announce our that enterprise-grade deepfake detection API + SDKs are now exclusively available to every YC developer ahead of our public launch. And we’re including 50 free scans per month!
