Our take

Metadata has been used to tag websites for years, ensuring a business’ web presence is optimized for search engines. However, this can only be applied to photographs manually, and the automatization of this process would be highly beneficial.

Clarifai provides web developers with the opportunity for images on their site to be algorithmically recognized, making metadata tagging easy. This has been built in the form of API tools, ranging from tools for beginner web developers to in-depth tools for professional businesses. Ultimately, Clarifai’s goal is to point the tools that companies like Google and Pinterest have, towards developers and other companies like retailers.

Since launching, the company has become a market leader in AI and has continued to develop its product offering. Moreover, they have a cooperative research and development agreement with the U.S. Army. As part of this, they are now focused on working on a large-scale electro-optical/infrared data labelling effort.
