Tandif, Indonesia’s topic and domain moderation solution Askimet never had

Tandif is a moderation service for websites and apps.

Online spams or comments with negative contents such as profanity or those containing malware could hurt your website’s credibility as well as hurt your SEO and Google ranking. Businesses and websites owners dont want this to happen. Tandif, an Indonesian based startup, aims to provide the solution to help businesses filter out these unwanted contents. We at e27 spoke to Ahmad Fathi Hadi, CEO of Tandif, to find out more about their solution:

Could you introduce Tandif to our readers?
Basically, Tandif is high accuracy filtering platform that is capable of filtering and moderating any negative digital contents such as profanity, spam, malware/virus domain, etc. As a platform, Tandif can cater to a wide range of different customer segment such as website, blogs, forums, mobile, social media, etc.

How is Tandif doing in terms of user traction, specifically the number of users (paying and non paying), as well as user growth?
Currently we are still in beta and we are doing lot of product development. Since our launch in 29 Jan 2012, we are focusing on accuracy and speed, not on traction. Currently, Tandif is used by our partners for testing purposes on their websites, and some of our major partner includes MindTalk and Indonesia’s Adobe user group. Once we are happy with our product, we will shift our focus to marketing and gaining more traction.

How does the technology of Tandif differs from the other existing moderation technologies?
As I mentioned before to the judges at Jakarta Echelon Satelite, you have to try it yourself. We can confidently say this: Our accuracy is really good. Mollom and Akismet focus on spam filtering, while Webpurify and Tandif focus on profanity filtering. That said however, we are more than just spam and profanity filtering, we want to make filtering easy and accurate.

What is in the pipeline for Tandif? Are there any exciting updates and features which the community can expect soon?
Yes, first we are going to release Tandif for free, and secondly, we will also be lauching image filtering service and mobile filtering service, complemented by a management service. What we are really excited about is that users do not need to install any application on their mobile devices, because filltering will be made at telco operator/provider service level. Tandif will also add more language support and language detection system in the near future.

Could you let us know what Tandif is looking for at Echelon?
We are looking for investment.

Tandif will be exhibiting at Echelon 2012 Startup Marketplace. The team pitched their product at the Indonesia Satellite in April.
