Human-validated training data and evaluation services for frontier AI models
Chain-of-thought reasoning traces, SME-level RLHF, supervised fine-tuning demonstrations and adversarial red teaming for the most capable models.
Golden trajectories, RL environment design, failure-mode taxonomies and software-engineering-driven deep evaluation for autonomous agents.
Multilingual ASR and conversational speech data, expressive TTS annotation, vision-language model training data, video action labelling and voice-agent evaluation.
LiDAR point-cloud labeling, multi-camera sensor fusion, robot demonstration trajectories, world-model rollouts and embodied interaction logs.
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
