AI Comment Moderator for YouTube Studio

Uses AI to detect and visually mask unwanted comments in the YouTube Studio review queue.

AI Comment Moderator helps creators get through the "Held for review" queue in YouTube Studio without having to read every abusive message. Stop dreading your comment queue. Every day, creators scroll through hateful and abusive messages just to find the comments worth approving. AI Comment Moderator does that filtering for you — automatically masking the ugly stuff so you can moderate with peace of mind. How it works: On the YouTube Studio review page, the extension can evaluate each pending comment with an AI model and visually mask the ones flagged as insults, threats, hate speech, or irony. Masking is purely visual: YouTube's native buttons (Approve, Remove, Report, Ban) continue to work exactly as before. The extension never approves, deletes, edits, or publishes anything on your channel. A per-comment toggle lets you reveal or hide any comment's text whenever you want. Decisions are cached locally, so comments are not re-evaluated every time the page reloads. Uses Free BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): Instead of paying us for AI usage, you connect your own free Groq API key. It takes about 1 minute to get one, and the free tier is enough for everyday use. Privacy: Comment text is sent (only after explicit user confirmation) to the AI provider you choose (Groq or Pollinations) solely for classification. The extension has no server of its own and does not store comment text. How each provider processes the text is governed by its own privacy policy. Links to those policies are available on the extension's Privacy Policy page. Your API key is encrypted and stored locally on your device. Anonymous, cookieless usage statistics are sent to Umami Analytics. The extension does not collect personal data, IP addresses, or persistent identifiers. Current version limitations: Fixed moderation criteria (insults, threats, hate speech, and irony). Works only in the "Held for review" queue, not with published comments. Analyzes only recent comments (up to 1 day old). More moderation options are planned for future updates. ⓘ This Chrome extension is an independent project that helps manage the comment moderation queue in YouTube Studio™, and has no affiliation with YouTube or Google.
