Built in Hanoi. Trusted worldwide.
DataX annotation was founded on a simple belief: that great AI starts with great data — and great data comes from people who care about precision.
Why DataX annotation Exists
DataX annotation Ltd was founded in Hanoi, Vietnam by a team with roots in enterprise IT outsourcing and AI services. We saw firsthand that AI teams worldwide were struggling with the same problem: finding an annotation partner they could actually trust.
Too many vendors delivered inconsistent quality, poor communication, and annotation that looked fine on the surface but failed at training time. We built DataX annotation to be the antidote — a company where quality is non-negotiable and transparency is the default, not the exception.
Today we serve AI teams at startups, research labs, and enterprise companies across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond — annotating everything from conversational AI datasets to LiDAR point clouds for autonomous vehicles.
What we believe
These aren't slogans. They're the principles that shape every annotation project, client conversation, and hiring decision we make.
Quality Without Compromise
We measure quality at every step. Inter-annotator agreement scores, automated validation, and manual QA passes are not optional — they are the standard.
Radical Transparency
You always know what your team is working on, how quality is tracking, and when delivery is expected. Daily updates, shared dashboards, no surprises.
Customer Centricity
Every decision starts with the client. We align our processes, timelines, and communication around your goals — not ours. Your success is the only metric that matters.
Data Security First
Every engagement starts with an NDA. Access controls, audit trails, and GDPR-aligned data handling protect your most sensitive datasets.
