Encord
Agent platform
Data Agents automate Encord data pipelines by integrating humans, state-of-the-art models and a customer's own models into data workflows. They handle tasks such as pre-labeling, object segmentation and tracking, video captioning, audio transcription and sentiment analysis, combined with human-in-the-loop quality assurance.
Data service
Encord Active is Encord's model and data evaluation product. It evaluates and validates models against their data to surface, curate and prioritise the most valuable data for training and fine-tuning, covering model robustness checks, drift and failure-mode detection, automated label-error detection, and active learning workflows across images, video, 3D/LiDAR, audio and documents.
Encord Annotate is Encord's multimodal data labeling product, used to annotate and review images, video, audio, text, documents, DICOM, LiDAR and geospatial data. It provides AI-assisted labeling, customizable ontologies, human-in-the-loop review workflows and quality-control tooling for managing large annotation teams.
Managed annotation service: Encord supplies vetted domain experts for a customer's task and runs the projects, with an evaluation workflow built around the customer's own spec rather than volume alone.
Managed collection of real-world training data for physical AI: in-field operators, teleoperation facilities and configurable lab environments gathering the embodied, egocentric and sensor data a robotics model needs.
Encord Index is Encord's multimodal data curation and management product. It lets teams search datasets with natural language and similarity search across video, image, audio, LiDAR, text, document, geospatial and HTML files, filter by 40+ data metrics and custom metadata, visualise outliers on embeddings plots, and remove duplicates and poor-quality data via Collections. Data stays in the customer's own cloud with 'zero data migration required'.
End-to-end data service for robotics, autonomous systems and embodied AI: data collection (in-field operators, teleoperation), curation, LiDAR/point-cloud/multi-camera annotation, VLA/VLM action-captioning, and post-deployment feedback loops, with on-prem/VPC deployment.
Oracle
Agent platform
Oracle's platform for building, deploying and governing production AI agents with managed foundation-model access, enterprise data retrieval and workflow orchestration.
Platform for building conversational chatbots and voice interfaces for business applications, billed per 1,000 requests.
Data service
Self-managing Oracle database with built-in vector search and model calls over the data it stores.
No counterpart
Encord sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Oracle yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Merlin is Encord's agentic intelligence layer, letting teams build, observe and optimise their data infrastructure through conversation. It creates complete labeling setups from prompts or documents, reports data metrics and coverage gaps on demand, and surfaces issues affecting model performance. It is reachable inside Encord or from external tools over Model Context Protocol, including Claude and Slack.
Platform
The multimodal data layer for physical AI: one platform for managing, curating, annotating and aligning sensor, video, image and text data at petabyte scale. The modules a buyer licenses — Annotate, Index and Active — are recorded separately.
Oracle sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Encord yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
