When Thailand’s largest C2C marketplace needed to keep 8.7 million ads safe and live-within minutes, they turned to Besedo. With AI, filters and human oversight, Kaidee achieved 85% automation and 94% of ads go live in under 5 minutes.

What Kaidee wanted to solve
Finding a faster, smarter way to moderate millions of ads
Kaidee relied on an outdated in-house moderation tool that could not keep pace with growth. Less than 20% of ads were moderated within five minutes, leading to frustrated users and heavy complaints.
Rebuilding the tool in-house would have taken six months of development time from Kaidee’s dev team. The backlog of listings, slow time-to-live, and operational drain meant they needed a faster, scalable solution.
How they solved it
Besedo’s AI + Rule-Based Automation
The first step: integrate Besedo’s rule-based filters with Kaidee’s core platform, map moderation policies, design acceptance/rejection rules, and customize the moderator UX.
Then: collect data via filters to train a custom AI model. By 2019, Kaidee reached ~85% automation and ensured the majority of ads were moderated rapidly. Human moderators still handle edge cases and constantly improve accuracy.
What they achieved
Faster listings, lower costs, higher trust
Once Besedo’s moderation stack was live, Kaidee was able to moderate nearly all listings automatically — cutting dependence on manual work, improving time-to-live, and reducing costs. As listings continue growing, moderation now scales without proportional rises in effort or overhead.
