How It Works

1. Input or Trigger — The Appilot dashboard triggers moderation jobs, selecting target channels, comment filters, and live chat sessions.
2. Core Logic — The bot scans YouTube UI elements using Appium/UI Automator, applying regex and NLP filters to classify comments.
3. Output or Action — Inappropriate comments are hidden, deleted, or reported; clean ones remain visible.
4. Other Functionalities — Logging, retry logic, and batch analytics ensure smooth operation across accounts.
