Tisane API is a text moderation API from Tisane Labs, which develops natural language processing solutions for content moderation and law enforcement applications. The RESTful API returns moderation decisions with human-readable reasons, and detailed results are returned in milliseconds. It handles algospeak, slang, and misspellings, and can tailor analysis to contexts such as usernames and search queries. It can also translate foreign content while preserving its original profanities and slurs, and detect topics, entities, and sentiment. For gaming, its moderation is designed to distinguish in-game violence references from criminal activity and can detect scammers, groomers, and trolls. Tisane says its outputs are deterministic, with explanations that can be traced and debugged. Customers can use the public cloud, an on-prem installation, or Tisane Embedded as an in-process library. Listed integrations include Slack, Minecraft, Webex, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Zapier, Make, and n8n. The free Community plan includes 50,000 requests per month; paid plans start at 99.00 USD per month. Tisane is headquartered in Singapore.
