# MLtwist > 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. - Category: Unstructured data operations platform for AI (data preparation, transformation, labeling, QA, and lineage), plus data labeling, data sourcing, and synthetic data services - Platform: Projects dashboard, Twists (containerized pipeline steps) and Twist AI Builder, model-assisted pre-labeling, multimodal labeling, quality control and review, 3D visualization, synthetic video, and the Data ID Card - Founded: 2021, Santa Clara, California - Leadership: David Smith (co-founder and CEO), Audrey Smith (COO) - Ways to use it: Self-serve (the customer's team on the platform), hybrid (customer experts plus MLtwist), or managed (MLtwist's expert trainers, program management, and forward-deployed support) - Data types: Images, video, audio, text, sensor data, and 3D security screening scans - Markets: Public sector, defense and security, autonomy, AdTech, CleanTech, retail, InsurTech, genealogy, research, and model testing - Pricing: Custom, typically per file, based on data type and complexity, volume, quality requirements, and timeline - Buying: Direct, Google Cloud Marketplace, or Carahsoft (MLtwist's master government aggregator) - Government contracting: CAGE 91KF4 · UEI ZYUYNZUNR2P5 · NAICS 513210, 541511 · Small business, registered in SAM.gov - Contact: contact@mltwist.com · +1 (415) 294-1664 ## Customers - [Sandia National Laboratories](https://www.mltwist.com/case-studies/sandia/): Aviation security screening-data preparation cut from eight weeks to three (60%). - [Stanford University](https://www.mltwist.com/case-studies/stanford/): Data for Stanford NLP Group research: the first Universal Dependencies dataset for Sindhi and a study of NER on Global Englishes, with a Data ID Card per dataset. ## Pages - [Platform](https://www.mltwist.com/platform/): What the platform is, where it fits in the AI data workflow, and integrations - [Platform features](https://www.mltwist.com/platform/features/): Dashboard, pre-labeling, Data ID Card, quality control, Twist AI Builder, synthetic video, 3D, and more - [Data labeling platform](https://www.mltwist.com/platform/labeling/): Pre-labeling, labeling for every data type, review and QC, and labeling-tool integrations for your own team - [Synthetic data generation (platform)](https://www.mltwist.com/platform/synthetic-data/): How synthetic video is made: spreadsheet to scenes, layered prompts, chained clips, review, and a Data ID Card per file - [Labeling services](https://www.mltwist.com/labeling/): Expert trainers, program management, forward-deployed support, staffing models, QA, and export - [Public sector & security](https://www.mltwist.com/public-sector/): Government, national labs, security screening, and how agencies buy - [Video & computer vision](https://www.mltwist.com/video/): Raw video to a versioned training set - [Solutions](https://www.mltwist.com/solutions/): Data collection, synthetic data generation, data preparation, AI pipelines, labeling, LLM training data, model evaluation, and data provenance - [Industries](https://www.mltwist.com/industries/): Training data by industry, from public sector and defense to retail, research, and AI companies - [Case studies](https://www.mltwist.com/case-studies/): Sandia National Laboratories, Stanford, and 17 anonymized programs, filterable by data type - [Resources](https://www.mltwist.com/resources/): Press releases, The AI Minute Shorts videos, webinars, downloads, industry insights, and partners - [Get started](https://www.mltwist.com/contact/): Contact, Google Cloud Marketplace, and Carahsoft - [For AI assistants](https://www.mltwist.com/for-ai-assistants/): This information as a web page
