This is especially scarce for expert workflows in domains like CAD, architecture, engineering, finance, and other professional software.\n\n**That’s where we come in:**\n\nWe work with a vetted network of expert contributors to collect high-quality computer-use data across:\n\n* Consumer applications\n* Productivity software\n* Accounting and finance\n* CAD, architecture, engineering, and other expert workflows\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=109874\u0026key=user_uploads/1783684/ba673ff4-e489-4753-b11b-4797762834fb)\n\n**So far we've:**\n\n* Sold more than 15,000 hours of data to frontier AI labs\n* Open-sourced the [**largest dataset of computer-use screen recordings**](https://x.com/DevvMandal/status/2032104265121140924?s=20)(**150k+ downloads on HuggingFace**)\n* Released the [**largest open gaming computer-use dataset**](https://x.com/DevvMandal/status/2072357115847671990?s=20)\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nIf you're building computer-use agents and need high-quality training data - or have interesting workflows you'd like collected - we'd love to chat **:)**\n\nBook a meeting with us at \u003chttps://cal.com/dev-markov/30min\u003e Or shoot us an email at [founders@markovstudios.com](mailto:founders@markovstudios.com)","slug":"SaA-markov-data-for-computer-use-ai","created_at":"2026-08-11T18:00:00.277Z","updated_at":"2026-09-19T07:25:46.829Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/SaA-markov-data-for-computer-use-ai","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":32988,"name":"Markov","slug":"markov","url":"https://www.markovstudios.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/41a4a41e5482735389d2089a01ff2b862f56e307.png","batch":"Summer 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Reinforcement Learning","Data Labeling","Data Engineering"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/32988"}}
