Congratulations to our alumnus startup DTOXIFY on receiving the exist start-up grant! After winning the Strascheg Award 2024, this is another major milestone for the team.

DTOXIFY is developing an AI-supported, context-sensitive solution for moderating comments, e.g. on social networks. The self-learning technology recognizes hate and toxic content with near-human accuracy and adapts to the individual rules and values of communities. The aim is to protect brands, people and freedom of expression in digital spaces. The idea is based on the HSDetector research project by Munich University of Applied Sciences and Ippen Digital.

With the help of exist, the validated beta API is being developed to market maturity, with a focus on scaling, self-learning functions and the expansion to include multimedia content. The team currently consists of Jan Vellmer and Dr. Manuel Weber, accompanied by Prof. Dr. Julia Eiche from Munich University of Applied Sciences.

"Thanks to the support of the SCE and the exist start-up grant, we can shift into the next gear this year, finalize our product and enter the market." - Manuel Weber (Technical Co-
Founder)
