Besedo

Besedo is a content moderation company that provides tools and services to help online marketplaces, classifieds sites, and dating platforms maintain a safe and trustworthy environment for their users. The company offers a combination of human moderation services and artificial intelligence-powered automation technology to review and filter user-generated content. Besedo's platform checks user profiles, images, and text to ensure compliance with platform rules and remove unwanted or fraudulent content. The company processed over 570 million ads and listings annually, removing more than 40 million scam attempts and irrelevant content pieces. Besedo's services are used by major platforms such as eBay Germany, Schibsted sites, and Match.com to combat fake profiles, fraudulent ads, and scams.

In June 2017, Besedo merged with ioSquare, a French startup specializing in automated content moderation, to enhance its artificial intelligence and deep learning capabilities. This merger aimed to create a more comprehensive content moderation solution that combines human expertise with advanced automation. Besedo's technology leverages machine learning and natural language processing techniques to achieve high levels of accuracy and efficiency in content moderation. The company has continued to innovate, with plans to expand its capabilities to include video and virtual reality moderation, as well as extending its services to social media and ecommerce platforms.
