Labelbox

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.

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.

Snorkel AI

Agent platform

Snorkel Specialized AgentsAgent platform

Develops specialized AI agents for enterprise tasks, built on Snorkel's data-development stack.

Platform

Snorkel FlowPlatform

Data-development platform where teams write programmatic labeling functions and use AI-assisted labeling to build and refine training data for machine learning and LLM systems, instead of hand-labeling manually.

Data service

Snorkel Custom Data DevelopmentData service

Bespoke dataset, environment and benchmark development for organizations with specialized failure modes existing datasets don't cover.

Snorkel Data SeriesData service

Off-the-shelf curriculum-structured training/eval datasets for frontier-model task areas (terminal coding, software engineering, enterprise workflows, computer use, scientific research), with rubrics and difficulty tiers built in.

No counterpart

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

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.

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.
