What's in demand
The data you alreadygenerate is the product.
Models learn from the real world. Records of real work, real conversations and real machines are some of the scarcest inputs in AI. Here's where we see demand:
Contact centers
Call recordings, transcripts and chat logs
Logistics & fleets
Dashcam video, routes and vehicle telemetry
Manufacturing
Machine sensor logs and inspection imagery
Field services
Technician video, photos and work orders
Media & publishing
Licensed archives of text, audio and video
Software
Code, tickets, reviews and documentation
Legal & finance
Documents and forms, redacted to our standard
Retail & e-commerce
Product imagery, catalogs and descriptions
