FAQs
How does Spikerz's AI comment moderation work?
Spikerz uses a proprietary AI engine trained on millions of real social media interactions to detect and block spam, scams, hate speech, and brand-damaging comments in real time. Unlike Hootsuite, which relies heavily on static keyword filters, Spikerz understands context, slang, emojis, and intent, catching toxic comments even when they’re disguised.
What makes Spikerz better than Hootsuite for moderation?
Spikerz offers real-time, AI-powered social media comment moderation across multiple platforms, and is focused on helping brands detect, manage, and prevent harmful, spammy, or reputation-damaging content. Hootsuite, on the other hand, is primarily built for scheduling, publishing, and reporting. While it includes basic comment monitoring, it is not optimized for real-time moderation or protecting your brand.
Can Spikerz handle comment moderation across multiple platforms?
Yes. Spikerz provides unified moderation across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and more. You get a single dashboard to manage comments, alerts, and actions in real time. Whether it’s Instagram spam, Facebook spam, LinkedIn spam, YouTube spam, or TikTok spam, Spikerz protects your full social presence.
Will Spikerz catch new scam formats that aren't in my keyword list?
Absolutely. Spikerz doesn’t depend solely on predefined rules. It detects evolving scam patterns using real-time signals, historical behavior, and anomaly detection. Even if a bad actor swaps characters (e.g., “fr33 g!ft”), Spikerz flags it, whereas Hootsuite’s moderation integration, Smart Moderation, might miss it.
Does Spikerz remove or just hide bad comments?
You decide. Spikerz gives you full control: auto-hide, delete, or just flag for later. It even offers moderation workflows for teams and clients.
Can I train Spikerz’s AI to match my brand’s moderation style?
Yes. Spikerz learns from your past decisions, giving you a moderation model that evolves with your brand. You can fine-tune sensitivities by topic (e.g., hate speech vs. competitor mentions) and even whitelist trusted followers.
What’s the difference between Spikerz AI moderation and manual moderation?
Manual moderation is reactive and time-consuming. Spikerz is proactive and instant. Our AI screens every comment the moment it’s posted, before your audience sees it, while surfacing only the most critical issues to your team. It's moderation at machine speed, with human-level precision.
