What is Playment?

Playment is a data labeling platform designed to help teams prepare training datasets for machine learning models. It provides tools for annotating images, text, audio, and video with human or AI-assisted labeling, allowing you to create high-quality datasets at scale. The platform is built by Telus International and focuses on speed and accuracy, with customisable workflows to match your specific labeling requirements. It's useful for organisations training computer vision models, natural language processing systems, or other AI applications that require large amounts of annotated data.
