Overview
A marketplace for multimodal training data -- sourced from a global contributor community, reviewed by expert teams, and delivered with consent and provenance attached to every clip. Luel started with a simple observation: the AI teams shipping the most ambitious models were spending months stitching together datasets from sources that were never going to hold up under audit.
