The internet wasn't built for vulnerable conversations. So, we're building a better one. BUILD is our tech initiative to create community-informed tools that make online learning about identity and inclusion safer and more effective for everyone.
We are developing a suite of tools designed by and for our community, including smarter moderation tools and a help-bot that actually helps.
Tools built based on real needs from our 60,000+ members
Protection against hate speech and harassment in educational spaces
Tools that work for everyone, regardless of technical expertise
Our development roadmap is guided by community needs and feedback from our 60,000+ members.
Context-aware moderation
AI-powered tools that understand LGBTQ+ contexts and can distinguish between educational discussions and actual harm. Built with input from our community's real experiences.
AI-powered guidance
A chatbot that actually helps, providing accurate, compassionate responses to common questions about gender identity and LGBTQ+ topics.
