Your own annotation workflows, guided by our standards
For teams that already run their own annotation process but want more control, not less.
This tier is for teams with existing annotation infrastructure who don't want to hand the whole process to a vendor, but still want access to a diverse annotator network and the quality guardrails that come with it. If Managed Services is us doing the work for you, this is us giving you the tools to do it yourself - without starting from zero. Not ready to wait? Managed Services and Managed Services + IPE are live today and solve a lot of the same problem in the meantime.
Self-serve, without losing the guardrails
Most self-serve annotation tools give you a blank workspace and leave the quality standards up to you. This platform is built differently. You get the workflows, the quality guides, and access to the same annotator network behind Managed Services - but you stay in control of how the work actually gets done.
A tool with no guidance just moves the quality problem onto your own team. A platform with real guardrails lets you move fast without quietly lowering your bar to do it.
What you get
Guided Workflows
Pre-built annotation workflows based on the same standards we use in our own managed process.
Access to Our Annotator Network
Tap into the same diverse annotator pool used across Managed Services, sourced from the markets your model needs to understand.
Built-in Quality Guides
Clear, task-specific guidance for annotators, built to reduce the ambiguity that causes inconsistent labeling.
Task & Project Management
Organize annotation work by project, task type, and priority, without a separate tool layered on top.
Validation Checkpoints
Optional checkpoints throughout the workflow so quality gets caught early, not just at final export.
Export Flexibility
Get annotated data in the format your training pipeline already expects, no manual reformatting.
Team & Role Management
Bring your own reviewers and annotators alongside ours, with clear permission levels for each role.
Usage Visibility
See exactly how much annotation work has moved through the platform and where it stands.
From setup to export
- 01
Set up your workspace
Bring your existing guidelines or start from one of our templates.
- 02
Assign work
Route tasks to your own team, our annotator network, or a mix of both.
- 03
Review and validate
Use built-in checkpoints to catch quality issues as work moves through, not just at the end.
- 04
Export
Pull your finished data in the format your pipeline needs.
Built to fit what you already have, not replace it
This platform isn't a rip-and-replace of your existing tooling - it's meant to plug into it. You bring your own team and pipeline, and layer in access to our annotator network and quality guardrails wherever you need them most.
Integration details are still being finalized. If you have a workflow or pipeline you'd want this to work with, tell us now - it directly shapes what gets built first.
Where this tier will fit best
Teams with infrastructure but not enough reach
You have the process, but not annotators in the markets your model needs to reach. This gives you access to that network without giving up control of your workflow.
Teams that want guardrails without a full managed engagement
You don't need someone else running the whole process, but you don't want to build quality standards from scratch. This gives you a guided starting point instead of a blank page.
Where your data actually goes
Your workflow and your annotated data stay yours. Once this platform is live, any data that moves through it will follow the same standard we hold ourselves to across every tier - encrypted handling, clear access controls, and no use of your data beyond delivering your project. We'll publish full technical details as the platform gets closer to launch.
Common questions
Is the Annotation Platform available now?
Not yet - it's actively in development. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know as soon as early access opens.
How is this different from Managed Services?
Managed Services means we run the annotation process for you end to end. This platform is for teams who want to run their own process, with access to our annotator network and quality standards built in.
Will this include IPE validation?
Validation checkpoints are planned as part of the platform. Details on how deeply Intent Preservation Engine scoring integrates are still being finalized.
What kind of teams is this built for?
Teams that already have some annotation infrastructure or in-house process, but want broader reach or more structure without a full managed engagement.
When will this launch?
We don't have a public launch date to share yet. Joining the waitlist is the best way to get notified first.
Looking at Labelbox or another self-serve platform?
Most self-serve tools hand you a workspace and leave quality entirely up to your own team. This platform is being built to give you that same control, but with real guardrails and access to a diverse annotator network behind it - not just an empty canvas. If you're comparing options, ask what happens to quality once your own team gets stretched thin. That's exactly the gap this platform is built to close.
