Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) was started by Intel in 2017 and launched publicly on GitHub in the middle of 2018. In 2022, the platform became a core IP of an independent CVAT.ai Corporation, which we consider our founding year. With over seven years of experience, CVAT.ai has embarked on a mission to transform the field of data annotation and image labeling. We are proud of our remarkable journey and the milestones we have achieved.

‍

Our platform has become a cornerstone for data scientists, machine learning engineers, researchers, and students striving for excellence in artificial intelligence. 

‍

An anniversary is more than just a date; it symbolizes our growth, achievements, and the vibrant community we have fostered.

‍

The following post will outline our achievements from last year and revisit the company's history!
