AI Submission Moderator Within Interactive Experiences

Goosechase is a Canadian platform that helps schools, nonprofits, and businesses run interactive, mission-based activities like onboarding, orientation, museum tours, and team training.

Today, creating these experiences and checking large numbers of photo, video, and text submissions is slow and manual, especially in education, where safety and privacy are critical. This project will build AI features that make that work faster, safer, and easier. The main focus is an AI Submission Moderator that reviews participant content in real time, explains why something was flagged, and sends uncertain cases to a human for review.

In parallel, we will lay the groundwork for an AI “Experience Coach” that suggests mission ideas and messages based on the organizer’s goals. To do this, we will create new data and machine-learning pipelines, run low-latency (fast) moderation on secure cloud systems, and add strong safeguards like single sign-on, audit logs, access controls, and clear retention rules.

The expected benefit to Goosechase is substantial: creators will spend less time on moderation and more time on teaching and engagement; schools and public organizations will gain a safer, more trustworthy tool; and the company will be better prepared for procurement in regulated markets. The work also produces Canadian-owned IP and supports growth and hiring in Canada.
