About Textgain
We help organizations use the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to bring about positive change.
Who we are
Our journey began in 2015 as a spin-off from the University of Antwerp, when a team of linguists and researchers came together looking to translate their academic skills and experience into practical solutions. Today, Textgain is renowned for its state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology that reads between the lines to uncover the subtleties of digital content.
Our roots are steeped in academic excellence, with over six decades of combined experience in language technology. The first model developed by Textgain provided crucial insights following the 2016 ISIS terror attacks in Brussels. By 2021, we spearheaded the European Observatory of Online Hate, encompassing all official European languages. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of AI’s capabilities to detect and mitigate dangerous digital content.
What we do
Our mission is simple: to advance AI technology in a way that is transparent, trustworthy, and beneficial to society. We develop advanced AI solutions capable of identifying harmful speech, disinformation, and violent content across digital media. Our approach ensures that our AI operates in a clear, explainable, and ethical way – safeguarding privacy and reducing bias.
Using sophisticated machine learning algorithms, we help organisations identify problematic content in a wide range of languages, including all official European languages. We are currently pioneering the world’s first AI foundation model for harmful content such as Threat To Life (TTL), designed to efficiently analyse vast amounts of data with unprecedented depth, precision, and accuracy. By blending linguistic and data science expertise, we create accessible tools that simplify complex data analysis, ensuring our technology is both reliable and transparent.
