Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Elastic

Application

Elastic AI SOC EngineApplication

An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.

Elastic AIOpsApplication

GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.

Elastic LLM ObservabilityApplication

Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.

Elastic SecurityApplication

Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.

Agent platform

Elastic Agent BuilderAgent platform

A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.

Elastic WorkflowsAgent platform

An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.

Platform

Elastic AI AssistantPlatform

A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.

Labelbox

Application

AnnotateApplication

Annotate is the data labeling product within Labelbox, providing 10+ built-in editors for multimodal chat, LLM evaluation, prompt/response generation, computer vision and NLP, plus customizable labeling and review workflows and team performance monitoring.

CatalogApplication

Catalog is Labelbox's data curation and search product providing out-of-the-box search across images, text, video, conversations and documents over metadata, vector embeddings and annotations without building your own vector database infrastructure.

Agent platform

RecursionAgent platform

Labelbox's reinforcement-learning platform for developing, evaluating and deploying enterprise specialist agents, connecting RL environments, evaluation systems and a training loop that fine-tunes models from graded rollout trajectories.

Platform

HorizonPlatform

Horizon supplies RL training gyms and evaluations for reasoning, tool use and computer use, using WorldSim to simulate enterprise environments such as GitLab, Jira, CRM, email and chat and to produce calibrated reward and preference signals for post-training.

No counterpart

Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Labelbox yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Model API

Elastic Inference ServiceModel API

Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.

Labelbox sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Elastic yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Developer tool

Labelbox FoundryDeveloper tool

Foundry runs third-party foundation models over data already in Labelbox to pre-label and enrich image, text and document datasets without code, routing the predictions to human review; billed as inference cost per model run plus Labelbox Units.

Data service

AlignerrData service

Alignerr is Labelbox's expert-network product that routes AI training and evaluation tasks to credentialed contributors across 200+ knowledge domains and 40+ countries and returns structured outputs for RL training, RLHF and evaluation workflows.

TerraData service

Terra is Labelbox's robotics data product delivering video, trajectories and multimodal annotations across pre-training, post-training and evaluation stages, including expert teleoperation with action labels and multiple camera perspectives for embodied foundation models.
