Expert computer-use data for frontier AI labs

Markov builds expert computer-use datasets for frontier AI labs. Our datasets include screen recordings + mouse/keyboard actions of professionals using CAD, design and enterprise software. We work with the top AI labs and we’ve gotten more than 350k downloads on HuggingFace. Our long-term goal is to be the full stack platform for computer-use AI, starting with data and then the infrastructure to train and deploy computer-use models. Dev and Harish are technical co-founders. Dev studied aerospace engineering at IIT Madras and was the youngest team member at Sarvam - India’s top AI lab. Harish is an Emergent Ventures grantee and his prior robotics work was featured in top national publications.

TLDR;

  • Markov builds the data infrastructure for computer-use AI, collecting synchronized screen recordings, mouse/keyboard actions, and annotations from real workflows.
  • We specialize in hard-to-source expert data across CAD, architecture, engineering, and other professional applications.
  • We’ve already sold 15,000+ hours of data to frontier AI labs and open-sourced leading computer-use datasets with 150k+ downloads on HuggingFace.

The Problem:.

While frontier models have gotten much better at reasoning, they still struggle to reliably complete long, multi-step workflows across real desktop software. The biggest bottleneck is the lack of high-quality training data.

Training these models requires synchronized screen recordings, mouse and keyboard actions, and high-quality annotations from people doing real work. This is especially scarce for expert workflows in domains like CAD, architecture, engineering, finance, and other professional software.

That’s where we come in:

We work with a vetted network of expert contributors to collect high-quality computer-use data across:

  • Consumer applications
  • Productivity software
  • Accounting and finance
  • CAD, architecture, engineering, and other expert workflows
