How Linode Helped an AI Bot Moderate Images Automatically

When developer Savvas Agisilaou, aka Savvy, wanted an easier way to moderate images in Discord chats, he set about to develop DeGore.

DeGore is an AI-powered image moderation bot that helps users take a break from manual moderation of images, GIFs, image links, and thumbnails sent in Discord servers.

Being an ambitious developer, Savvas wanted to scale his project but ran into issues with other hosting providers. That’s when he turned to Linode. With the power of Linode, Savvas was able to scale DeGore’s capabilities and keep up with demand. In this episode of the Craft of Code podcast, he explains how Linode’s features support DeGore, why he first developed it, and his big plans for the future.

• Why Savvas developed DeGore
• The top challenges he faced in the early days
