How does CometChat's AI agent platform handle custom AI models or third-party LLMs?
CometChat's AI agent platform allows users to plug in their own pre-built agents or integrate third-party moderation services via a Custom Moderation API. This enables the use of specific AI models or LLMs by configuring webhooks and custom authentication for message processing.
What specific compliance standards does CometChat meet for data handling and privacy?
CometChat is compliant with major regulations including GDPR, HIPAA, CSAM, SOC2, and DSA. It ensures data encryption in transit and at rest, along with robust message auditing and policy enforcement to maintain privacy and security.
Can I use CometChat's voice and video calling features independently without implementing the text chat functionality?
Yes, CometChat's core products are modular and interoperable. You can choose to implement only the voice and video calling features, such as 1:1 or group calls, without necessarily deploying the text chat components, allowing for flexible integration based on specific application needs.
How does the multi-tenancy infrastructure work, and what are its benefits for managing different brands or communities?
The multi-tenancy infrastructure allows you to run multiple brands, communities, or customer instances on a single backend. It enables isolation of logic, moderation, and branding per tenant with zero code duplication, simplifying management and scaling for diverse user bases.
What are the options for moderation within CometChat, and how do they differ?
CometChat offers three moderation paths: OpenAI Rules for real-time AI moderation with custom prompts and models; Custom API Rules for integrating third-party moderation services or proprietary AI models via webhooks; and CometChat Preset Rules, which provide built-in automated detection of unsafe content using keyword filters and contextual analysis.
