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.
Institution-grade crypto and equities intelligence, delivered through a chat-style AI analyst.
Ask questions about tokens, protocols, or equities in plain language and receive answers backed by visible sources rather than unsupported assertions.
Market prices, onchain events, SEC filings, and news are normalized into one structured layer so the model reasons over consistent inputs.
API, MCP server, CLI, and agent skills let teams wire Surf intelligence into their own agents, dashboards, and internal research workflows.
Purpose-built modules for tracking market-moving developments and for looking up structured context on projects and assets.
