Iffy is an open-source platform designed for intelligent content moderation at scale, targeting developers and businesses seeking to automate the management of unwanted content. It offers a comprehensive dashboard, user lifecycle management, appeals handling, and customizable rules, aiming to reduce reliance on manual moderation teams.

How It Works

Iffy leverages AI, specifically OpenAI, for content analysis and moderation. It integrates with Clerk for user authentication and management, and optionally uses Resend for email notifications. The system allows for the creation of powerful, business-specific moderation rules and presets, automating actions like user suspension based on flagged content.
