ModerateAI

AI-powered content moderation API for user-generated content.

The Problem

Platforms with user-generated content (forums, marketplaces, social apps) need moderation. Manual review does not scale. Existing APIs (Perspective, OpenAI moderation) are generic and miss context-specific violations.

The Solution

A content moderation API that combines pre-trained models with custom rules. Train it on your community guidelines. It learns what "toxic" means for your specific platform, not just in general.

Competitive Landscape

Perspective API (Google) is free but not customizable. Hive Moderation targets enterprise. Spectrum Labs was acquired by Meta. The customizable, affordable tier is underserved.

Why Now?

Regulation (DSA, KOSA) is making content moderation legally required. AI makes it affordable enough for small platforms, not just Facebook-scale companies.
