Runs in Chrome from the extension bar, with no login required to get a result.
Hive AI Detector is a free Chrome extension from Hive (Castle Global Inc.) that brings AI-content detection into the browser. Its appeal is breadth: the same extension scans images, video, text, and audio, so you do not have to keep a separate tool for each media type. For pictures and clips it goes a step further and predicts which generative engine most likely produced the content.
Scanning fits into normal browsing. You can right-click a piece of content directly on a web page, paste text into the extension's box, or upload a file. Results are shown as the likelihood that the item is AI-generated. The intended uses are practical ones: checking a suspicious photo before sharing it, catching misinformation, and supporting plagiarism or authenticity review.
The detector is machine learning-based, trained on millions of examples of both AI-generated and human-made content and refreshed as new versions of popular generative models appear. Hive has been covered by outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and PCWorld. The extension itself is free with no login, while Hive's larger-scale detection products are the commercial side of the business.
Check an unfamiliar image or clip on a page before you trust it or share it onward.
Run a quick AI-content check on a document or image as part of authenticity and plagiarism review.
Scan images, video, audio, and text on the fly while researching a story or a claim.
