Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Aiba (legal entity AiBA AS) develops content moderation and online safety software for operators of digital communities. Its principal product, Amanda, is described as a moderation platform combining AI-powered detection, moderation workflows, insights and compliance functions in a single system that can be configured to a customer's existing team processes.

The platform is positioned around proactive detection of harmful behavior rather than reactive review, with configurable detection rules, moderation workflows and response options. Aiba states that its models are trained on cases from live communities, law enforcement material, and behavioral patterns observed in school environments. Automation is intended to handle routine cases and pattern recognition so that human moderators concentrate on judgement-intensive work, which the company frames as reducing moderator burnout and staff turnover.

Alongside the core platform, Aiba offers a "Community Health Scan" assessment of a community's current safety state, and publishes written material on moderation topics such as how AI moderation systems work and build-versus-buy decisions for moderation tooling.
