Comment Moderation AI
This module uses artificial intelligence to automatically moderate user-generated comments on Drupal 11 sites. It analyzes comments as they are submitted, flagging potentially inappropriate content for human moderators and integrating with existing Drupal workflows. The module also offers custom policies for keyword filtering, rate limiting, and PII protection.
