Overview
Ocular AI provides an enterprise multimodal data lakehouse to ingest, centralize, search, curate, label, version, and manage large volumes of video, image, audio, and other unstructured data. The platform (Ocular Foundry) supports dataset curation, gold-standard labeling, scalable annotation workflows, dataset versioning, GPU-backed model training, evaluation and comparison, and an interactive playground to test models on user data. Ocular Bolt is its on-demand, expert-led labeling service that blends AI automation with subject-matter expert oversight and RLHF-style feedback. The product emphasizes data governance, security, integrations with existing stacks, and the ability to keep data on customers’ infrastructure when required. (Source: homepage, About, Bolt pages)
