How Bodyguard works to protect Stream communication APIs

At Bodyguard, we’re proud to partner with Stream, the leader in real-time communication APIs, to enhance the safety and user experience for platforms and communities worldwide.

A closer look at our collaboration

Our partnership with Stream combines the best of both technologies to tackle one of the most pressing challenges in today’s digital world: safe interactions.

By integrating Bodyguard’s AI-powered moderation system with Stream’s communication APIs, Stream-powered platforms, and their users, benefit from immediate, real-time detection and filtering of harmful content, including hate speech, bullying, spam, and explicit material.

Want to know how our collaboration works?

• Stream’s APIs enable real-time communication within online communities, which allows their users to engage in conversations, share content, and build connections.
• Bodyguard’s moderation technology ensures that all interactions are safe by detecting harmful content in real time and filtering it out to protect the community, before it has a chance to do harm.
• The system operates on a rules-based engine developed by Bodyguard's team of expert linguists, and is continuously updated to adapt to emerging trends in toxic content.

For platforms that use Stream, this means moderation is no longer an afterthought but a fully- integrated part of their platform’s infrastructure.

Integration that enhance's the user experience

The integration of Bodyguard’s moderation with Stream’s communication tools is designed to improve the overall user experience for developers, organizations, and end-users alike.

Here’s how the collaboration enhances the user journey:

• Real-time protection: As users interact with a platform powered by Stream, harmful content is automatically detected and filtered by Bodyguard’s moderation solution. This ensures a safer environment for everyone, without any delay or disruption.
• Tailored moderation rules: Every community has unique needs. Bodyguard’s moderation system can be customized to fit the specific goals and values of every platform that uses Stream. The moderation rules can be adjusted for various severity levels, from light filtering to strict compliance.
• Scalable performance: Designed to grow alongside the community, our partnership ensures that any organizations of every size can continue to rely on Bodyguard technology as their user base expands. The integration can scale quickly to handle growing interactions, without sacrificing speed or efficiency, or quality.
