Reddit approved my Devvit app — ModPilot AI is now live for the Mod Tools Hackathon
Hey everyone,
I’m new to Reddit development and honestly new to posting on Reddit in general, but I wanted to share a project I’ve been building for the Reddit Mod Tools and Migrated Apps Hackathon.
The app is called ModPilot AI.
It’s a moderation queue triage tool built with Devvit that helps moderators quickly identify which queued posts may need attention first instead of treating every post the same.
The system scans posts for risk signals and labels them as:
• Low Risk
• Medium Risk
• High Risk
It also gives a simple explanation of why something was flagged so moderators can understand the reasoning instead of getting a random black-box score.
Current signals include:
- Very new accounts
- External links
- Urgency or pressure wording
- Money claims or financial promises
- Promotional language
- Missing flair
- Repeated phrases
- Too many links in one post
There’s also an override rule:
Money claim + external link = automatic High Risk.
Originally I planned to use external AI APIs, but I ran into Devvit HTTP domain restrictions pretty early. I ended up switching to a fully rule-based system and honestly it turned out better than expected:
- fast
- predictable
- explainable
- free to run
The app was approved by Reddit and is currently published as unlisted for testing.
I’m still learning as I go, so if anyone here is also building with Devvit, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback, suggestions, or even people willing to test it out and tell me what could be improved.
