What they do

Problem

Large tech and finance companies rely on manual, outsourced human reviewers to handle fraud, harassment, and compliance work that is costly, hard to scale, and often traumatizing.

Solution

SafetyKit provides AI agents that automate risk, compliance, and safety review workflows traditionally done by human moderators and analysts.

Who it's for

Large technology platforms and financial services enterprises responsible for trust, safety, and compliance operations.
