How to Build an AI Spam Detector

https://editor.momen.app/tool/9G6nZlvlrrq/WEB?code=S6A5HygGoBLm3

Introduction

  • Goal: Create an automated moderation system that identifies spam comments (gibberish, repetitive text, or low-quality content) using AI.
  • Applicable Scenario: Comment sections, forums, or any user-generated content platform where manual moderation is inefficient.
  • Core Logic: A user submits text via a UI input -> An asynchronous Actionflow triggers an AI Agent -> The AI returns structured data -> The result is saved to the Database.

Steps

Data Storage

First, we need a table to store the submitted comments and the AI’s moderation results.

  • Data Model: Go to the Data tab and create a table named comment.
Field NameTypeNote
contentTextThe original comment text submitted by the user.
is_spamBooleantrue for spam; false for normal content.
reasonTextThe specific reason provided by the AI for flagging the content.


AI Agent Configuration

The AI Agent acts as the “brain” that analyzes the text based on your specific criteria.

  1. Create Agent: In the AI tab, add a new agent named Agent_spam_detector.
  2. Inputs: Add a Text input variable named content.
  3. Prompt Template:
    • Role: Anti-Spam Expert
    • Goals: Define your moderation criteria (e.g., Gibberish, Spamming, Low Quality).
    • Content Reference: Use the variable \{{Input/content}} to pass the user’s input to the model.
  4. Output Settings: Switch to Structured output to ensure the AI returns data that the database can understand.
    • is_spam (Boolean): Description: true: Spam content; false: Normal content.
    • reason (String): Description: Specific violation reason (only required if is_spam is true).

Actionflow Construction

  1. Create Actionflow: Go to the Actionflow tab and create one named AI Spam Detector.
  2. Input: Define a text input named content.
  3. Execution Mode: Set the mode to Async.
  4. Logic Nodes:
    • AI Node: Select “Start conversation” and choose your Agent_spam_detector. Map the content input to the agent’s input.
    • Database Node: Select “Insert data” for the comment table.
      • content: Map from Actionflow data -> input-data -> content.
      • is_spam: Map from Actionflow data -> AI node -> data -> is_spam.
      • reason: Map from Actionflow data -> AI node -> data -> reason.


UI Construction & Interaction

  1. Components: Drag a Text Input and a Button onto the canvas.
  2. Interaction:
    • Select the Button.
    • In the Action panel (Right Sidebar), add an On click event.
    • Select the AI Spam Detector Actionflow.
    • Parameter Binding: Bind the content parameter of the Actionflow to the value of the Text Input component.


Verification

  1. Preview: Click the Preview button in the top right.
  2. Test Case: Enter a gibberish string like asdfgavcugsu and click the button.
  3. Check Database: Return to the Data Source -> Database view. You should see a new record where is_spam is true and the reason explains it is “Gibberish.”
