How to Use Modulate (ToxMod) in 2026: Step-by-Step Guide
AI voice moderation platform for gaming that listens to live in-game voice chat in real time to detect harassment, hate speech, and threats by tone and behavior — not just keywords — used by titles including Call of Duty and Rockstar games.
Modulate builds ToxMod, an AI voice-moderation system purpose-built for the scale and nuance of live gaming voice chat, where legacy keyword/transcript moderation misses tone, sarcasm, and escalation.
Core Capabilities
Real-Time Voice Understanding Powered by Velma, an "Ensemble Listening Model" that analyzes tone, intensity, and interaction dynamics — how something was said, not just the words used — to catch harassment that text-based filters miss.
Live Moderation at Scale Processes voice chat in real time across massive concurrent player bases; has analyzed over 160 million hours of gaming voice chat and enabled 80+ million moderator actions industry-wide.
Discord Social SDK Integration As of January 2026, integrates directly with Discord's Social SDK, letting games that embed Discord's in-game voice/chat features route that voice data through ToxMod for moderation.
Behavioral Signal Detection Flags harassment, hate speech, threats, and grooming behavior specifically, distinguishing genuine harm from typical competitive-game trash talk.
Positioning
A distinct category from character/NPC AI tools in this catalog (Convai, Inworld AI, NVIDIA ACE) — Modulate operates on the trust-and-safety side of game AI, protecting players rather than generating content, and is deployed in major titles including Call of Duty, Rec Room, and Rockstar Games properties.
Pricing
Enterprise/contact pricing — licensed directly to game studios and platforms at scale; no self-serve consumer tier.

Pro Tips
- Be specific: The more context you provide, the better the response. Instead of "write an email," try "write a professional follow-up email to a client who hasn't responded in two weeks."
- Iterate: If you don't get what you need, ask for clarification or refinement: "Make it shorter" or "Use a more formal tone."
- Use examples: Show Modulate (ToxMod) what format you want by including an example in your prompt.
- Save useful conversations: Most platforms let you name and revisit conversations — organize by project or topic.
