Aegitox

Aegitox

Aegitox intercepts Discord messages before they are read, runs them through a dual MiniLM-L6-v2 semantic pipeline locally, and replaces hostile content with target-aware de-escalation placeholders in 2–12ms — bypassing cloud API round-trips entirely. The free tier covers real-time toxicity interception and raid defense. Automated karma-based penalties, incident reports, and the one-click DM appeal system that routes staff review are paid-only features. The appeal system is the architectural detail that matters most for enterprise use: the bot acts autonomously, but a human signs off on the final penalty — so you are not handing discipline entirely to a model. The system has no API and no self-hosted option, so teams that need on-premise deployment or want to pipe moderation signals into their own data stack will hit a hard wall.

Dike

Dike

Route your OpenAI-compatible traffic through Dike and every prompt, retrieval step, and completion becomes a sealed, cryptographically verifiable audit record — the kind an auditor can check, not just a log you printed yourself. PII is stripped before anything touches storage, flagged responses queue for human sign-off, and when a serious incident fires, Dike opens the Article 73 case and starts the 15-day reporting clock automatically. The gateway is fail-open, so if audit storage goes unreachable, your requests still reach the model. The ceiling appears when your compliance requirements go beyond what a passive proxy can enforce — custom risk-scoring logic, multi-jurisdiction rules, or on-premises data residency all require architecture Dike does not currently offer.

Pros
  • Dual MiniLM-L6-v2 semantic pipeline runs locally with no cloud API call during inference, so moderation decisions are not blocked by external API latency or outages.
  • Unicode and markdown evasion detection via mathematical intent mapping rather than character matching, which means the filter catches obfuscated content that bypasses every regex-based AutoMod configuration.
  • Target-aware placeholder replacement (40 stubs per threat category, 120 total) substitutes hostile content with de-escalation text matched to the specific threat vector — so the message thread continues without a visible gap or a bot warning banner.
  • Karma-based automated penalty engine with a built-in DM appeal system that routes to staff for final review, which means admins get autonomous enforcement without fully removing human judgment from the discipline loop.
  • Free tier includes the core AI interceptor and raid defense with no keyword list to maintain, so a guild can move from manual moderation to AI interception without any ongoing filter upkeep.
  • Hash-chained, tamper-evident audit records generated automatically for every call, so when an auditor asks for cryptographic proof that logs were not altered, you export a file instead of defending a claim.
  • PII redacted at the gateway before anything is written to storage, which means GDPR exposure from prompt contents does not accumulate in your audit logs over the legally required 6-month retention window.
  • Article 73 incident reporting opens a case and tracks the 15-day regulatory clock automatically, so serious incidents do not slip past the deadline while your team is still triaging.
  • RAG-specific retrieval logging records which documents the model actually used per response, satisfying the Article 12(2) evidence requirement that a plain chat transcript cannot meet.
  • Fail-open gateway design means an audit storage outage does not take down your production service — requests still reach the model provider, so compliance infrastructure does not become an availability liability.
Cons
  • No API is exposed, so teams that want to pipe moderation events, karma scores, or incident data into an external dashboard, SIEM, or data warehouse cannot — the data stays inside the Aegitox system and there is no documented export path.
  • Self-hosted deployment is not available, which means any organization with a compliance requirement to keep message content on-premise — legal, healthcare, or enterprise security teams — cannot use this tool and will need to evaluate self-hostable alternatives instead.
  • The automated penalty engine and appeal workflow are paid-only features, so guilds that deploy the free tier and hit a raiding event get interception but no automated disciplinary escalation — moderators must handle timeouts and bans manually until they upgrade.
  • System prompt customization for the replacement text layer is a paid-only feature, so free-tier communities get the default placeholder pool regardless of tone or community norms — a formal professional server and a casual gaming server get the same de-escalation language.
  • No self-hosted deployment option exists; all traffic routes through Dike's hosted infrastructure. Teams whose security policy prohibits third-party proxies on the production inference path, or whose legal team requires data residency guarantees beyond EU-region cloud storage, cannot use Dike without a policy exception — and teams in that position typically move to building the compliance layer in-house or evaluating enterprise gateway vendors that offer on-premises deployment.
  • The gateway is a passive proxy: it redacts, logs, blocks, and routes, but does not evaluate custom compliance rules. Teams needing per-user-role flagging logic, multi-jurisdiction rule sets, or dynamic risk scoring based on response content will reach the proxy's ceiling quickly and find themselves maintaining custom middleware on top of Dike — at which point they are running two systems.
  • Dike is in closed beta at the time of writing; the vendor states teams must join a waitlist. Production availability, SLA commitments, and enterprise support terms are not publicly documented, which makes procurement sign-off harder for teams with formal vendor assessment requirements.
