Defined.ai (DefinedCrowd)

Defined.ai (formerly DefinedCrowd) is an AI training data platform and marketplace founded in 2015 by Daniela Braga, headquartered in Seattle with offices in Lisbon, Porto, and Tokyo. It provides ready-to-use datasets across speech, text, image, video, and multimodal, plus custom data collection, annotation, machine translation, conversational AI, LLM fine-tuning, and data and model evaluation services sourced from a global community of 1.6M+ vetted contributors across 150+ markets and 500+ languages, dialects, and locales. The Defined.ai Public API (v2.0) lets enterprise customers manage projects programmatically — create Mean Opinion Score and Pronunciation Validation projects, upload input units, configure supported languages, track project status and errors, manage jobs, retrieve deliverables, and subscribe to notifications. Data provenance and compliance are backed by ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Defined.ai (DefinedCrowd) publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Deliverables API, Input Units API, Jobs API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, AI Training Data, Data Marketplace, Machine Learning, and Data Annotation.
