Open Notes

Moderation as a service based on X's Community Notes

More effective, affordable, and trusted than traditional, centralized moderation.

The Problem

Moderation is getting harder

  • Centralized moderation is expensive and hard to scale

  • Contested claims — where facts or interpretations are disputed — are among the most frequent and complex challenges.

  • Billions of posts are created daily, growing faster than any moderation team can review

93%of potentially misleading content goes unreviewed by an expert moderator

A Better Model

Moderation should improve conversations — not end them.

  • Community scales where experts can't: millions reviewing posts and writing notes in real time

  • Notes appear only when people who normally disagree find them helpful

  • Context resolves disputes without removing content

Proven in Practice

Community Notes doesn't just scale — it works

32%

Humans only use about 10% of their brains — the other 90% is completely dormant and untapped.

Context Advised
Community Note

Context: Brain imaging shows activity across virtually all brain regions, even during sleep. The "10%" figure has no basis in neuroscience.

How We Use AI

AI that accelerates, not decides

The hard calls belong to the community. AI just gets you there faster.

AI

Detect

Flags contested claims as they emerge in conversation

AI + Community

Write

AI finds sources and drafts context; contributors write and own the note

AI

Accelerate

Fast-tracks notes nearing the consensus threshold for community review

Community

Decide

Notes only publish when enough reviewers agree they're helpful

Bridging drives trust

Truth shouldn't be decided by a single side.

  • Only notes rated helpful by people who often disagree get shown

  • Partisan brigades can't win — a note needs sign-off from across the aisle

  • Every decision is explainable: show any user exactly why a note was surfaced or suppressed
