Who buys this

Community forum owners and small marketplace operators who currently review reported posts by hand every evening.

Where to start in Lovable

Paste this into Lovable as the opening prompt. It sets up one screen and one job, which is easier to grow from.

Build a moderation dashboard that connects to a platform's content API or accepts a webhook for new posts. Each incoming post is scored for policy categories, spam, harassment, adult content, and sorted into a review queue with the score and the flagged phrase highlighted. Moderators can approve, remove, or edit inline, and every decision trains a small feedback log that shows the moderator which of their past calls agreed or disagreed with the AI score.

What you will need to wire up

  • Lovable AI Gateway
  • Lovable Cloud (Postgres, очередь событий)
  • Webhook приём от платформы клиента
  • Роли и права доступа для модераторов

Build order

  1. Start with the queue and manual decision screen, not the scoring model. A moderator needs a working queue with approve, remove, and edit buttons even before any AI scoring exists, because that is the tool they will live in all day. Wire the webhook intake and queue UI first with a placeholder score, then layer scoring on top once the workflow itself feels fast.
  2. Score against fixed categories, never a single yes or no. A single toxicity score with no breakdown gives moderators nothing to act on and nothing to appeal against. Return a score per category, spam, harassment, adult content, self-harm, so the moderator sees exactly why something was flagged and can override one category without touching the rest.
  3. Log every override as ground truth and review it weekly. When a moderator overrides the AI decision, that disagreement is the most valuable data point you have. Store it with the original content and score, and build a simple weekly view showing categories where overrides cluster, since that is where the scoring prompt needs adjustment.
  4. Charge per moderated item with a volume discount tier, not a flat platform fee. A forum with two hundred posts a day and a marketplace with two hundred thousand listings have completely different cost profiles for you, so a flat fee either overcharges the small forum or loses money on the large marketplace. Meter by item scored with declining per-unit price at higher tiers.

Where this usually breaks

  • Sarcasm and in-group slang read as violations by a generic model, especially in niche hobby communities with their own vocabulary. Let each platform maintain a short allowlist of terms and phrases that override a flag, and let moderators add to it directly from the queue.
  • A burst of reported posts during a coordinated raid can overwhelm the queue and bury the genuinely urgent items under noise. Add a priority score that weighs severity above recency and let moderators filter the queue by category so the harassment reports do not get lost behind a wave of low-grade spam.

How it makes money

  • Per item scored with tiered volume pricing. Tracks your API cost directly and scales naturally from a small forum to a large marketplace.
  • Flat monthly fee for the moderator dashboard seats. Separate the workspace access fee from the volume fee so small teams still pay something predictable even in a quiet month.
