ModMate

Inspiration

Most online forums are maintained manually by human moderators. Reading posts, flagging them, and responding to them is time-consuming and nuanced.

What it does

Modmate uses LLMs to automate this work in two ways. Firstly by turning them into a classification system to flag forum posts. Secondly by curating a response to a flagged forum post.

How we built it

ModMate is built on the same idea as TypeChat. To use TypeScript interfaces to get a structured response from the LLM. We use that idea to turn the LLM into a classification system, or a flagging system.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• There is little code involved. It is easy to maintain and extend, and cheap to run.
• Classification systems are hard to build but with a little prompt-engineering, an out-of-the-box LLM can be used as one with great effect.
• ModMate can save forum moderators countless hours of manual and repetitive tasks.
