Managing your site with AI

Practical: Moderate and Classify Comments

Learning objectives

By the end of this exercise, you will be able to:

  • Apply AI-assisted comment moderation to a set of test comments
  • Apply AI classification to organize content by topic or type
  • Evaluate where AI moderation and classification calls need human review

Before you begin

You will need a live site or local environment with a connected AI provider, plus a handful of test comments on a post. A mix of genuine, spam-like, and borderline comments works best.


Moderating with AI

Enable AI-assisted comment moderation and run it against your test comments. Compare its flags against your own judgment: where do you agree, and where would you have moderated differently?

Classifying content

Use AI classification on a small set of posts or comments to sort them by topic or type. Check a few classifications by hand to see how consistently the tool applies its own categories.

💡 Why this matters for you: Moderation and classification decisions affect what other people see. Practicing on low-stakes test content now means you will already know where AI is reliable and where you need to double-check before turning it loose on your live site.

What you’ll have when you’re done: a moderated and classified set of test comments, with notes on any calls you overrode and why.


✅ Check your understanding

  1. Where did AI moderation disagree with your own judgment, and which of you was right?
  2. What would make you trust AI classification enough to stop spot-checking it by hand?
