Greetings Product Hunt Community! 👋👋

We, the team of Spot A Bot, are excited to finally launch our project here on Product Hunt. We are already looking forward to reading your comments and feedback! 💙

As you may have noticed, there is a major uncertainty regarding bots and their mischievous activities on Twitter. Even Elon Musk is wondering about how many bots are really on his own platform.

Tweets generated by bots can be difficult to recognize. Bots that are up to no good use their anonymity to manipulate, spread misinformation or hijack trends. 👾 Considering this we, four students from Austria, decided to take things into our own hands and searched for a way to show the presence of bots for current trends.

That's why we developed Spot A Bot, a platform that uses advanced machine learning techniques to analyze currently trending topics on Twitter and identify accounts that are likely to be bots. 🤖

You can explore recent trends and participating accounts and vote on whether they agree or disagree with our classification of accounts as bots. Trending topics change every day, so there is always something new to explore. 🔍 We aim to be as transparent as possible with our results and methods. On Spot A Bot you can retrace the entire process employed by the system.

Try it out and see the difference it can make for your social media experience, especially when it comes to identifying bot activity in current twitter trends.

Let us know what you think! 💙💬

Congrats on the launch! 👍🏼 Bot detection plays a very important role, especially in today's world..

Since when have you been keeping track on bot activity? Where there any interesting findings?

Really interesting. Private sector would love this. Have you been following any bot networks that you can infer are being orchestrated by any nation state threat actors (like the Lazarus group of our North Korea for example)?

Also really cool that you're incorporating feedback loops from users to help refine machine learning algo.
