Mod Hive — AI-Powered Mod Team Platform

AI-powered moderation platform that coordinates mod teams, analyzes content with Llama 3, detects brigades, and saves 3-8 hours per week per team.

Inspiration

Reddit moderators are unpaid volunteers facing an overwhelming, thankless job. They work alone, repeat the same actions hundreds of times, burn out, and quit. We asked: what if moderation felt like a coordinated team sport instead of a lonely grind?

What it does

Mod Hive is a complete AI-powered moderation platform built natively on Devvit. It gives mod teams:

  • Real AI Analysis — Llama 3 via Groq analyzes every flagged post and provides a verdict, confidence score, rule violated, and reasoning
  • Automatic User Reputation — Shows account age, karma, violation history, and risk level on every queue item automatically
  • AI Removal Message Generator — Writes personalized, friendly removal messages. One click sends via Reddit PM
  • AutoMod Rule Generator — AI generates AutoModerator YAML rules to prevent recurring violations automatically
  • Real-Time Team Coordination — See all online mods, their current task, and status live. Prevents duplicate actions
  • Brigade Detection — Detects report spikes and coordinated attacks with flashing alerts
  • Shift Handoff Briefing — "While You Were Away" summary for returning mods
  • Time Saved Calculator — Tracks and displays total mod time saved by AI assistance
  • Gamification — XP, levels (Rookie → Legend), 13 badges, weekly leaderboards
  • Personal Performance Report — AI agreement score, specialty, streak, and team rank
  • Burnout Health Tracker — Monitors session intensity and warns before burnout

How we built it

  • Devvit web framework with TypeScript
  • Redis for real-time team data persistence across all mods
  • Groq API running Llama 3 for AI content analysis
  • Connected to real Reddit mod queue via reddit.getModQueue() and reddit.getReports()
  • Real moderation actions via Reddit.remove(), reddit.approve(), reddit.banUser()
  • Real user reputation via reddit.getUserByUsername() and reddit.getModNotes()

Challenges

Connecting to Reddit's live mod queue and making AI analysis fast enough for real-time use. Solved with Redis caching — AI runs once per item, results persist for the whole team.

What we learned

Reddit moderators need coordination tools more than automation. The biggest time waste isn't the decisions — it's the coordination overhead and context-switching between tools.

What's next

Scheduling system for mod shifts, mobile push notifications for urgent items, and integration with Reddit's AutoModerator for automatic rule deployment.
