Why Mixpeek
99.2% accuracy with 0.1% false positive rate, sub-second moderation decisions, and customizable policies matching your community guidelines
Overview
Content moderation is critical for platform safety and regulatory compliance. This use case shows how Mixpeek enables automated moderation that scales with content volume while maintaining accuracy.
Challenges This Solves
Scale Impossibility
10K+ uploads per day, each requiring moderation
Impact: Hiring enough human moderators is cost-prohibitive
Response Latency
Harmful content stays live during review queue
Impact: Brand damage, user harm, regulatory fines
Moderator Wellness
Human exposure to harmful content causes trauma
Impact: High turnover, mental health costs, lawsuits
Policy Complexity
Nuanced guidelines with cultural context requirements
Impact: Inconsistent enforcement, user complaints
Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes uploaded videos, images, and audio in real-time to detect policy violations including violence, nudity, hate speech, and dangerous content
Configure Moderation Policies
Define content policies and violation thresholds
import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });// Define moderation policiesconst policies = await client.moderation.createPolicy({policy_id: 'community-guidelines-v2',rules: [{category: 'violence',action: 'block',threshold: 0.85,exceptions: ['news', 'documentary', 'educational']},{category: 'nudity',action: 'block',threshold: 0.90,exceptions: ['art', 'educational', 'medical']},{category: 'hate_speech',action: 'block',threshold: 0.80,review_required: true},{category: 'self_harm',action: 'block_and_alert',threshold: 0.70,alert_team: 'trust_safety'}],age_gating: {suggestive: 18,alcohol: 21,gambling: 21}});
Process Uploads in Real-Time
Moderate content before it goes live
// Real-time moderation on uploadasync function moderateUpload(uploadId: string, contentUrl: string, contentType: 'video' | 'image') {const moderation = await client.moderation.analyze({url: contentUrl,content_type: contentType,policy_id: 'community-guidelines-v2',extractors: ['violence-detection','nudity-detection','hate-speech-detection','self-harm-detection','audio-analysis' // For video audio tracks]});return {upload_id: uploadId,decision: moderation.action, // 'approve', 'block', 'review'violations: moderation.violations,confidence: moderation.confidence,processing_time_ms: moderation.latency,review_required: moderation.review_required};}
Handle Edge Cases
Route uncertain content to human review
// Escalation workflow for edge casesasync function handleModerationResult(result: ModerationResult) {switch (result.decision) {case 'approve':await publishContent(result.upload_id);break;case 'block':await notifyUploader(result.upload_id, result.violations);await logViolation(result);break;case 'review':// Queue for human review with AI contextawait queueForReview({upload_id: result.upload_id,ai_analysis: result.violations,confidence: result.confidence,priority: calculatePriority(result),suggested_action: result.suggested_action});break;}// Special handling for self-harm contentif (result.violations.some(v => v.category === 'self_harm')) {await alertTrustSafety(result);}}
Monitor and Improve
Track accuracy and refine policies
// Continuous accuracy monitoringasync function getModerationMetrics(dateRange: { start: string; end: string }) {const metrics = await client.moderation.getMetrics({policy_id: 'community-guidelines-v2',date_range: dateRange});return {total_processed: metrics.total,auto_approved: metrics.approved_count,auto_blocked: metrics.blocked_count,sent_to_review: metrics.review_count,// Accuracy metrics (requires human review sampling)true_positive_rate: metrics.tpr,false_positive_rate: metrics.fpr,// Latencyavg_processing_ms: metrics.avg_latency,p99_processing_ms: metrics.p99_latency,// By categoryviolations_by_category: metrics.category_breakdown};}
