AI Developer Needed to Build Modular YouTube Video Monetization Scanner – Contract to Hire

I’m building a tool that helps YouTubers scan their videos before uploading to determine if their content may violate YouTube’s monetization policies. The system should analyze visual, audio, and textual content to flag potential issues such as profanity, nudity, violence, copyright risks, etc.

Important: The system should be modular so it can start using third-party APIs (e.g. Google, OpenAI) but later swap to open-source models (e.g. Whisper, YOLOv8, CLIP, NudeNet) with minimal rework.

Responsibilities:

Build a backend system that accepts video input (MP4, etc.)

Use AI tools to:

Transcribe audio and detect profanity/hate speech

Analyze video frames for nudity, violence, blood, drugs, weapons

Scan text overlays or subtitles for flagged words

Return a report that shows where issues were found and why (timestamped)

Build it so I can plug it into my Wix website (or deploy via API/backend)

Build it modularly so each analysis area (audio, vision, etc.) can be easily switched between API and open-source models later

Provide brief documentation for future devs

Tech Stack Preference (flexible):

Python for backend

Flask or FastAPI (if web-based)

Google Video Intelligence API, Whisper API, OpenAI’s Moderation API (initially)

Later use open-source (Whisper (local), YOLOv8, NudeNet, Detoxify, CLIP)

OpenCV / ffmpeg for frame extraction if needed

Ideal Candidate –

Experience with video/audio AI analysis

Comfortable using third-party APIs AND open-source models

Knows how to build modular codebases

Has worked on AI moderation tools, media analysis, or YouTube-related projects

Milestones & Payment:

This is a milestone-based job.

Milestone 1: Planning & Architecture Design — $100

Define exact tools for each module (APIs now, open-source later)

Show flowchart of modular system architecture

Milestone 2: MVP (API-based version) — $300

Basic working scanner using third-party APIs

Upload video → get report with issues flagged

Transcription + vision + basic profanity flagging

Milestone 3: Wix/API Integration Ready Version — $150

Scanner deployable to work from Wix or via simple backend endpoint

Polish and test

(Optional Later): Open-source Module Integration — To be discussed

Replace API modules with open-source alternatives
