Announcing Watchful Community Edition 💥
Introduction
Watchful has been transforming the ability to deliver and scale the most impactful machine learning models for some of the world’s largest companies through our innovative Watchful labeling platform. Our customers have saved millions of dollars in labeling costs by using Watchful and have unlocked millions of dollars of value from their unstructured text. We can’t wait to bring this same trust and confidence to everyone.
Today - we reached a new milestone in the evolution of Watchful, offering our first free version, Community Edition (CE), available for all! We want the academic, research, and citizen Data Science communities to have access to the same techniques that are employed by some of the most sophisticated data science teams.
We believe that one of the most critical components to delivering meaningful data-centric AI solutions is better interfaces between humans and machines. Only then will we be able to effectively develop, scale, and ultimately trust the output of any AI system.
