Automatically review and moderate user-generated content with AI

AI reviews submitted content against your policies and automatically approves it, flags it, or escalates it to your team.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

You need consistent rules for what content stays up and what gets pulled, but reviewing every submission by hand is slow and inconsistent between reviewers. When something risky slips through, your team finds out too late.

Who it fits

Trust and safety, product, and governance teams managing user-generated content on a platform or marketplace.

How it works

  1. New content arrives through your submission form or system
  2. AI checks it against your moderation policies and classifies the result
  3. Clean content is logged automatically, and violations are flagged
  4. Anything that needs a second look triggers an email alert to your team
  5. Every decision is logged for review later
What you get

Clean content approved without a queue

You get user-generated content automatically checked against your policies, with clear content approved right away and risky posts flagged for your team.

What you get

An approve, flag, or escalate decision for every piece of content, with a log you can review for compliance.

What you need

An OpenAI API key, a Google Sheets or database account for logging, and Gmail for alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
