Age-Gated Content Filter Engine

2.55

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Mandatory OS-level age verification
→
Step 2 Need for content filtering matched to verified user ages

Problem

Once the OS provides age verification, app services face growing pressure to differentiate content by verified age group. If community/UGC Platforms build their own age-based content filters in-house, AI model training and maintenance costs $1,500–$3,750 (2–5 million KRW) per month and requires 2–3 months of developer time. Low filter accuracy exposes minors to inappropriate content, leading to legal penalties.

Solution

Provides an API that automatically classifies text, image, and video content according to Korea's age rating system (All Ages / 12+ / 15+ / 18+). Features Korean-language slang and profanity detection, K-content contextual understanding, and real-time processing. An admin dashboard enables misclassification feedback to continuously improve the model.

Target: Backend developers and content operations managers at Korean UGC-based community/social app Startups with 5–30 employees
Revenue Model: Pay-per-use API: $0.0075 (10 KRW) per text classification, $0.0375 (50 KRW) per image, $0.375 (500 KRW) per minute of video. Monthly minimum $37.50 (50,000 KRW). 50% volume discount above 1 million requests/month
