Love data?
So do we.

We're a team of engineers and researchers from Google, Facebook, Harvard, and MIT. We're building the modern data labeling infrastructure needed to power the next wave of AI.

Our data labeling platform and workforce help AI companies around the world solve their machine learning and NLP problems — from detecting hate speech and categorizing user reviews, to training powerful language models.

Our team comes from
Generating high-quality datasets is a rich, nuanced problem.

Our human-AI algorithms and operational infrastructure give your data the loving care it deserves.
