The short version

Why Ayta exists.

Most AI teams lose more time sourcing and validating data than building the model itself. Off-the-shelf datasets cover the easy cases; the gaps — specific demographics, regions, accents, lighting, devices — are exactly what's hardest to find, and exactly what determines whether a model holds up outside a benchmark.

Ayta runs a global field network of vetted collectors and regional coordinators, paired with a multi-layer QA system built specifically for AI training data — not repurposed survey tooling or crowdsourcing left unsupervised. We work in image, video, audio, text, and multimodal collection, with dedicated programs for localization and underrepresented-language data.

We're a small, senior team by design. No account-manager layers, no 200-page SOWs — just a direct line to the people running your collection program, and a QA bar we hold ourselves to before you ever have to ask.

How we operate

Three things we don't compromise on.

Principle

Quality over speed

A fast dataset that fails your QA bar costs more than a slower one that passes. We pilot first, every time, before scaling a single collection program.

Principle

Consent is not optional

Every participant is informed, every record is documented. Specialized and regulated-adjacent projects get protocol-level rigor from day one.

Principle

Direct, not layered

You talk to the people running your program. No relationship managers relaying messages between you and the work.

How we got here

From pilot batches to a standing network.

Phase 1

Pilot collection work

Started running small, focused image and audio collection batches for computer vision teams who couldn't source specific demographics anywhere else.

Phase 2

Built the field network

Formalized recruitment channels and regional coordination — city-level collectors, demographic specialists, and a QA team independent of the collection side.

Phase 3

Multimodal & localization

Expanded into paired multimodal sets and dedicated localization programs, with regional QA teams covering underrepresented languages.

Now

Standing collection infrastructure

Running ongoing programs alongside one-off pilots, with the same four-layer QA system applied across every modality we collect.

The team

Small on purpose.

A senior team across operations, quality, and delivery — the same people who scope your pilot are the ones running it.

RO

Operations & Delivery

Recruitment · Field network

Runs collector recruitment, regional coordination, and the day-to-day field operations behind every active program.

QA

Quality & Compliance

QA · Consent · Audit

Owns the four-layer review system, metadata validation, and consent documentation across every dataset we ship.

DS

Delivery & Strategy

Scoping · Client delivery

Scopes pilots, manages client relationships directly, and packages final delivery — no handoffs in between.
