Nairobi · Human-in-the-loop data

Training data your models can rely on.

Saarve AI is a managed workforce for data annotation, RLHF and model evaluation. A trained Nairobi team, layered quality review, and the flexibility to scale with your roadmap.

Services

Every data type your models learn from.

From pixel-level vision work to human judgment on model outputs, one managed team handles labelling, review and re-work against your guidelines.

Use cases

Built for the problems AI teams are solving now.

The same trained team and QA process, applied to the data behind your product.

Perception

Autonomous vehicles & robotics

Perception models need consistent labels across frames, cameras and sensors. We annotate road scenes, warehouse and field footage, and 3D point clouds so objects are tracked reliably through every sequence.

Typical work

  • Bounding boxes and segmentation on driving scenes
  • Object tracking across video sequences
  • LiDAR and 3D point cloud labelling
  • Keypoints for pose and manipulation
How we work

Quality built in layers, not inspected at the end.

Every task moves through three roles before it reaches you. Errors are caught close to where they happen, fed back to the team, and reported to you on a regular schedule.

You get regular quality reporting throughout the engagement, so you can see how the work is tracking against your spec.
  1. 01

    Annotator

    A trained team member labels each item against your guidelines, raising unclear cases instead of guessing.

  2. 02

    Reviewer

    A second, more experienced person checks the work, corrects errors and sends feedback to the annotator.

  3. 03

    QA lead

    The QA lead audits batches, keeps guideline interpretation consistent across the team and owns the quality report you receive.

RLHF & model evaluation

Human judgment for generative AI.

Fluent, trained raters who follow your rubric closely and flag what the rubric does not cover.

Preference ranking
Side-by-side comparisons of model responses for reward modelling.
Rubric grading
Consistent scoring against the criteria you define.
Red-teaming
Probing models for failures, gaps and unsafe behaviour.
Safety review
Reviewing outputs for harmful or policy-breaking content.

Engagement

From first sample to full production.

No long sales cycle. You see the work on your own data before deciding anything.

  1. 01

    Share a sample & guidelines

    Send a small batch of your data and your labelling instructions, in your tool or ours.

  2. 02

    Free sample analysis / pilot

    We label the sample, check it against your spec and agree on scope, turnaround and pricing.

    Free
  3. 03

    Scale with a managed team

    A dedicated team with layered QA and regular quality reporting, scaling up or down as volume changes.

Tool-agnostic

We work in your stack.

Our annotators are experienced across the major labelling platforms and comfortable inside client-built tools. No migration, no new software to buy.

  • CVAT
  • Labelbox
  • Encord-style platforms
  • Your in-house tools
Security practices

Your data, handled with care.

How we protect client data on every engagement.

  • Work under NDA. Confidentiality agreements are in place before any data is shared.
  • Access controls. Access to project data is restricted and controlled throughout the engagement.
  • Your environment, if you prefer. We can work directly inside your own labelling tools.
Our mission
Building skilled, fairly paid digital work in Kenya.

We want talented people in Kenya to build real, skilled careers in the AI economy, working directly with the teams that build the models.

Every project you run with us is done by a trained, managed Nairobi team, and supports that mission. We believe that care shows up in the quality of your data.
