Encord

What it does

Encord is a data platform for AI teams that takes in multimodal data such as images, video, LiDAR, audio, text, DICOM files, and sensor data, and supports labeling, curation, and evaluation of datasets. Teams annotate with label lineage and quality controls, search collected data using embedding-based search, and run RLHF, rubric-based evaluation, and pairwise comparison for models in production.

Work happens mainly in the web platform for annotation and review workflows, while the API and SDK register cloud data, import or export labels, and automate pipelines. The site highlights multimodal annotation in a single workflow, model-in-the-loop curation for finding rare edge cases, and routing model failures back into training. Managed annotation and data collection services are also offered.

Encord suits teams building physical AI, robotics, autonomous vehicle, and enterprise generative AI systems. The Starter plan targets individuals and small teams, Team adds analytics and model evaluation, and Enterprise adds SSO, SLA, and VPC or on-prem deployment. Paid prices are not listed publicly, and some features depend on plan tier or add-ons.

What it can do

• Annotate images, video, LiDAR, audio, text, and sensor fusion data in one workflow with label lineage and quality controls
• Curate and search collected data using embedding-based search and model-in-the-loop curation
• Orchestrate RLHF, rubric-based evaluation, and pairwise comparison for production models
• Use AI-assisted labeling, object tracking, and Segment Anything Model 2 import during annotation
• Run consensus workflows, annotator training modules, and performance dashboards for quality control
• Register cloud data and import or export labels through the API and SDK

Works with
