Every day, over 80 years worth of video content is uploaded online. Sadly, this content can often also be harmful. We know that human moderators are the current gold standard for moderation, but this manual approach simply cannot scale. While automated systems can scale, todays solutions often fail to understand context. Unitary was founded to help brands and platforms understand every piece of content in detail. We do this by building context-aware AI and multimodal machine learning methods to interpret content in context. Our mission is to make the internet safer by understanding content accurately, swiftly and at scale.
