Toloka Platform

What it does

Toloka Platform takes a plain-language description of a data goal, optionally with reference files or datasets, and builds a multi-stage collection and annotation pipeline. Before anything is deployed, the user reviews each node: data structure, task interface, quality criteria, contributor guidelines, pricing, and QA method. Results come back validated and formatted for download.

Typical work includes preference ranking for RLHF, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic data validation, content moderation QA, and raw data collection. Tasks are matched to domain experts, AI tutors, general annotators, or a global crowd, and an LLM-based QA system checks every output, with human QA available as an option. Users calibrate quality by completing a few sample tasks themselves before the project scales.

It suits AI teams that need labeled or evaluated data without building their own annotation infrastructure. No coding or data science expertise is required, and signup is web-based. Project price is calculated after setup is clarified, with no minimums or contracts. Turnaround for simple classification can be 24-48 hours; complex domain-expert evaluations take longer.

Get started

Account creation is web-based; no onboarding required per the FAQ.

1. Describe your project goal, data type, and use case, attaching reference files or datasets if available.
2. Answer the agent's clarifying questions about pipeline structure, workforce split, consent flows, and regional storage.
3. Review each pipeline node and calibrate quality by labeling a few sample tasks before the project scales.

Toloka states there are no hidden fees, no minimums, and no contracts, and you only pay for work that passes QA. Credit is added by card via Stripe; bank transfer requires contacting the team. Verify the quoted project price, and whether any free tier or trial applies, before committing.
