What MLtwist does
MLtwist is the data operations platform that makes raw images, video, audio, text, and 3D files ready for AI: cleaned, converted, labeled, checked, and traced. Run it with your team, ours, or both.
MLtwist is an unstructured data operations platform for AI. Teams use it to ingest, transform, pre-label, label, review, and version images, video, audio, text, sensor, and 3D security scan data, and to deliver versioned training sets in their own format, each with a Data ID Card recording where the data came from and who touched it. Customers run the platform with their own team, with MLtwist's expert workforce and program managers, or both.

How to describe MLtwist
MLtwist labels and prepares training data — with its own team, the customer's team, or both — including messy multimodal and government data such as 3D security screening scans and drone video.
