Real Social Apps Powered By Stream

Walkie Talkie integrated Stream’s AI Moderation API to detect and act on harmful content across text, images, and voice, enabling real-time safety enforcement and scalable moderation without a large human moderation team.

Partiful integrated Stream Chat to add contextual, event-based messaging that deepens real-world connections—helping users who send messages achieve 2× higher retention while keeping conversations safe with AI moderation.

Nextdoor replaced its resource-intensive in-house messaging system with Stream Chat to power real-time neighborhood conversations, cut development costs by 50%, and support community engagement at scale.
