Mux ships open-source moderation dashboard for UGC video
Mux has released a new open-source content moderation dashboard powered by its 'Mux Robots' API. The API provides AI-driven video analysis, including moderation scores for sexual or violent content, text summaries with tags, and the ability to ask specific yes/no questions about the video's content. The company provides the dashboard as a reference implementation for platforms managing user-generated content.
Key Takeaways
- The dashboard uses the Mux Robots API to run async moderation jobs tied to a Mux asset_id.
- The moderation endpoint returns thumbnail_scores and max_scores for sexual and violence detection.
- The summarize endpoint generates a title, description, and tags for reviewer context before playback.
- The ask-questions endpoint supports yes/no prompts, including checks for animation, offensive language, and slurs or threats toward protected groups.
- Mux describes the repo as a reference implementation for content-moderation workflows, with webhook delivery logs and an option to run the dashboard separately from the main application backend.
Why It Matters
Mux is packaging moderation as a working reference app, not just an API. The immediate value is for UGC platforms that need a review flow with scores, summaries, question-based checks, and webhook-based rejection handling. More broadly, the repo shows how Mux expects moderation to sit alongside an application backend, with asset IDs and job outputs stored separately. What to watch: whether teams adopt the one-click Vercel deployment or instead fold the same Mux Robots endpoints into their existing admin tools.
