What it is

Overview

A computer vision workflow tool that handles dataset creation, model training, and deployment in one interface. Built as a hybrid system combining proprietary annotation tools with third-party model integrations. The 1.4 million monthly visits come mostly from computer vision engineers and ML researchers who need to label thousands of images, train object detection models, and push them to production. Early reviewers describe the automated labeling as the main draw.
