Interactive courses for data science, AI and analytics skills
Short browser-based exercises in Python, SQL, R and more give instant feedback so you learn by writing real code.
Structured learning paths for data analyst, data scientist, AI engineer and other roles sequence courses into a coherent curriculum.
Exams such as AI Fundamentals, SQL Associate and Data Analyst certification let you demonstrate verified skills to employers.
An in-platform AI assistant helps explain concepts and debug code, alongside courses on the OpenAI API, prompt engineering and building AI apps.
High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
