Detect any unwanted content

Easily choose what models you want to apply. Create your own Moderation rules. Change them at any time.

Filter user messages, chats and texts

Text moderation is hard. This is why we have put a lot of work into making sure our algorithms catch any objectionable content:

  • - inappropriate language (racist, discriminatory, insults, swear words...)
  • - sexual content
  • - personal information (phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers...)
