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.
Train AI with domain experts and real-world data
Generate supervised fine-tuning prompts, reference answers, demonstrations and review rubrics with specialists matched to your subject area rather than generalist annotators.
Collect comparison data on accuracy, relevance, instruction following and domain quality so models can be tuned against ranked human preferences.
Capabilities Assessment responses against expert-defined criteria to surface errors, knowledge gaps and inconsistent behaviour, and run adversarial prompts to expose safety failures.
Capture real tasks in households, factories, warehouses, workshops, farms, labs and clinical settings to build training data for robotics and Physical AI.
