Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
AI and machine learning continue to advance, yet many AI disruptors lack the ability to process and label the voluminous amount of data required to feed complex AI and machine learning algorithms. CloudFactory’s WorkStreams combine people and technology to deliver high-quality data to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes.
CloudFactory sets itself apart through creating economic & leadership opportunities for talented people in developing nations. Delivery centres in Nepal and Kenya have become anchors within its communities which drive economic and social impact. CloudFactory processes millions of tasks a day for companies including Microsoft, GoSpotCheck, Hummingbird Technologies, Ibotta, and Luminar.
The company is poised for tremendous growth across many industry verticals where AI technology continues to grow rapidly. Moving forward, Cloudfactory is focusing on scaling operations whilst continuing to deliver high-quality data work for its global customers. In order to do so, it is planning to invest in workforce development, global market awareness and technology advancement. In regards to the latter, CloudFactory launched Accelerated Annotation in 2023, an AI-powered annotation tool that maximises efficiency, exemplifying its continued forward movement in product development.
