    Hi Eric :) This is a rather basic question I'm asking, but what do you think most differentiates Encord from other data annotation platforms? I've already tested Clarifai, V7 Labs, and Kili Technology, and I know it's a market with quite a few established players.

    Hi @tezzed! Good question! One of the big differences is our emphasis on active learning rather than just labelling. Because of this we are the only data annotation platform that wants you to label less, not more. I suggest we have a follow up discussion to go into more detail :)

    How did you get started on your art gallery?

    Good question! It's a long story, but we lived near an alleyway that for whatever reason had a very magical quality to it. Over a pint at the pub, it was decided to just share the alleyway to the wider public by opening it up as an art gallery. We made a website, set up an event, invited a bunch of people including journalists and politicians and just...opened up.
