Introducing OpenModeration: The Unified Moderation Platform
Today we're announcing OpenModeration, a content moderation platform built on its own moderation AI, with delicate cases cross-checked by other AI models.
The problem we're solving
Many moderation tools rely on a single in-house algorithm, frozen between two updates. Meanwhile, AI models get better and cheaper every year, and platforms stuck on yesterday's model miss out on that progress.
Meanwhile, the volume of user-generated content is growing 30-40% annually. The DSA legally requires platforms to moderate. And the EU enforces it: fines can reach 6% of global revenue.
The market needs a standard layer, the way payments have Stripe and communications have Twilio.
What we're building
OpenModeration is a full moderation platform. Beyond the API, it includes:
- Our own moderation AI. POST /v1/moderation returns standardized scores per category, and other AI models cross-check delicate cases.
- Model-agnostic engine. When a better or cheaper AI model comes out, we plug it in quickly. Nothing changes on your side.
- Action Engine. Define rules with three tools: forbidden words, category thresholds, and your own rules written in plain language.
- Native connectors. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and WordPress, connected with your own platform accounts.
- Admin dashboard. A React Admin interface for managing keys, viewing logs, and analyzing usage.
- DSA-compliant audit trail. Every moderation is logged in full and can be exported for compliance.
Why transparency
Moderation depends on trust. A moderation tool that only returns "removed" or "kept" is a black box: you can't verify what it does, how it makes decisions, or where your data goes.
With OpenModeration, every decision is explained in writing and recorded in a full audit trail. Data is hosted in the EU, and you can export it whenever you need.
What's next
We're launching with Block 1 (the core moderation API and dashboard) and will ship Blocks 2 and 3 (ingestion, action engine, connectors) in the coming months. Our hosted SaaS will follow later this year.
If you're building a platform that needs moderation, we'd love your feedback. Book a call and let us know what you think.
