Say hello to Merlin
Merlin is the agentic intelligence layer for Encord that works with you, wherever you work. Helping you build, observe and optimise your entire data infrastructure in a single conversation.
Software is changing.
Interfaces are becoming more conversational and intent-driven, and iteration cycles are shorter than ever. With Merlin, Encord lays the foundation for the next generation of AI data development. Merlin takes on the hard work so your team spends less time configuring and more time building better models.

Get started where you work
Type what you’re building and watch Merlin automatically build the whole thing, right from the tools you’re already working in.





One agentic intelligence layer
for your data infrastructure
Merlin works with you, wherever you work.

Build
Go from a prompt or document to a complete labeling setup. Merlin defines your label schema, customizes your labeling interface and sets up review stages around your use case – so you can kick off your project instantly instead of working from a blank slate.

Observe
Understand the state of your data at any moment. Merlin reports the metrics and coverage gaps that matter on demand, so you can get a clear read without waiting on a manual analysis pass.
