Snorkel AI provides a programmatic data-labeling and evaluation platform that converts unstructured data into expert-curated training and benchmark datasets via SDKs, no-code templates, and subject-matter expert workflows.
<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>About Snorkel</strong></p> <p>At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.</p> <p>We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before.
