As AI becomes more advanced, it's getting harder to tell what's real and what isn't. With Instagram Reels and short-form videos spreading faster than ever, people often jump to conclusions within seconds. It has become incredibly easy to mislead audiences, manipulate narratives, and push misinformation using AI-generated content. After seeing countless AI-generated videos circulating online, I had the idea to build a service that could help distinguish AI-generated content from authentic content. While similar detection services already exist, none of them work directly inside Instagram. And let's be honest — people prefer staying within the app. They want instant verification without copying links, switching platforms, or using external tools. That's why I created Spot This — an Instagram bot that helps you verify content instantly.

How It Works (Behind the Scenes) Here's what happens under the hood: 1. When a Reel or post is shared with the bot, a webhook connected to my Instagram account is triggered. 2. The content is sent as a payload to a secure webhook receiver. 3. The video is analyzed frame by frame using advanced AI detection tools. 4. A deepfake detection scan is performed to identify synthetic manipulation. 5. If requested, a fact-checking analysis is also conducted to verify claims made in the content. 6. The system compiles the findings and returns a detailed analysis along with a final verdict. The entire process takes just seconds. Why Spot This Matters AI-generated media isn't just entertaining — it can shape opinions, influence public perception, and spread misinformation at scale. Spot This empowers users to think critically and verify content before sharing or believing it. Instead of guessing, you get data-driven analysis — right inside Instagram.
