Should you outsource content validation or build it in-house? 🤔

💡 Deciding between these two is a common dilemma for many companies. While in-house solutions may appear more cost-effective and are widely practiced, opting for a reliable and experienced provider offers greater flexibility and opens up a broader range of opportunities.

If you're still undecided about which path to take, here are a few reasons why we believe outsourcing would provide greater advantages:

⭐️ Scalability and Flexibility: Outsourcing allows for easy onboarding of new languages, product categories, and listings without the need to hire and train additional in-house staff.
⭐️ Access to Expertise: By partnering with a reliable and experienced provider, you gain access to a wider pool of expertise and can boost the precision and performance of your current solutions.
⭐️ Cost-Effectiveness: Outsourcing content validation can often be more cost-effective, especially if the provider leverages AI-driven moderation tools and cost-effective manual moderation strategies.
⭐️ Focus on Core Competencies: By outsourcing content validation tasks, your team can focus on core business activities and strategic initiatives instead of spending time and resources on non-core functions.
⭐️ Personalized Support: Some outsourcing providers offer dedicated account managers or customer support, similar to an in-house colleague, to ensure smooth collaboration and address any issues promptly.

🎉 Excited about all the insights from last week’s International Classified Marketplace Association Fall Conference!

Peter Berdnikov and Andrew Kaptarenko shared their highlights from those two dynamic days:

✔️ If you're not utilizing AI in your tech stack, whether as a classified or a marketplace, you're already lagging behind, and you will stay behind.
✔️ Most of the use cases for AI in e-commerce focus on scalability, while some bring opportunities for enhanced functionality.
✔️ Some interesting cases include image enrichment, metadata reprocessing, visual and text-based intelligence, and analytics.
✔️ The industry is ready! It's only a matter of time until some of the most complex ecom-focused tasks are handled by AI solutions.

We believe that the possibilities are endless when it comes to AI-based solutions within the ecommerce space. And we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation! 🚀

Chats are ubiquitous: they’re an integral part of social media, dating apps, live streaming platforms, and messengers. You’ll also find a chat window on any website that offers real-time customer support. Instant messaging has made us more connected than ever, but it’s not devoid of drawbacks: a couple of bad actors can easily ruin the experience for others and render the chat unsafe. We take the feelings of your users seriously and aim to eliminate chat toxicity for good.

It’s not trivial to monitor active chats with hundreds of participants. But we have a solution! Graphic descriptions of s*x and violence, mentions of drugs, threats, profanities, spam, and clickbait are just a sliver of what our models are trained to detect instantly with a near-perfect accuracy of over 95%. In the remaining 5% of cases where our models are unsure, we bring in our human-in-the-loop moderators for a final check. If you want to shield your discussion from specific words or topics not included in this list of checks, we can train our algorithms to detect them as well. Every bit of private data from chats is anonymized and secure.

But wait, there’s more: Membrace isn’t limited to just text. We can parse audio and video, analyze images, and check for malicious links. Embrace the power of machine learning to make any chat a safe space!
