How to automate edge case labeling with your AI

Connect Scale AI to your agent to turn model failures into training data. Once connected, your AI handles the handoff to human annotators automatically.

Short answer

How can I automate edge case labeling with my AI?

Your AI agent detects outputs that fall outside expected parameters and triggers a manual review task in Scale AI. This creates a closed loop where problematic data is immediately sent for human labeling. You get a clean pipeline for refining your models.

Where the data goes.

The outcomes of your triage.

The AI sorts problematic outputs into specific workflows based on how you define the task.

HUMAN

Manual review queue

The AI sends specific images or data points to Scale AI. Human annotators then step in to provide the ground truth you need.

DATA

Refined training sets

Once labeling is finished, you get structured data back. This helps you fix the exact gaps in your model's logic.

LOG

Task tracking

Your agent can pull status updates on pending work. You'll know exactly which edge cases are still waiting for a human.

AUTO

Automated triage

The AI decides which outputs are actually worth a human's time. It filters out the noise so you don't pay for unnecessary labeling.

The workflow

What your AI does when an edge case arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your model's uncertainty and Scale AI's human workforce.

  1. Identify failures

    Your agent scans model outputs to find low-confidence results or unexpected patterns.

    get_task

  2. Create annotation task

    When an image needs eyes, the AI sends the specific data to Scale AI to start a new labeling job.

    create_image_annotation_task

  3. Monitor progress

    The agent checks on the status of the work to see if the human annotators have finished the task.

    get_task

  4. Retrieve results

    The AI pulls the completed labels back into your environment to update your datasets.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can my AI change the labeling instructions in Scale AI?

    No. The AI can only create tasks or check their status. You must manage labeling guidelines directly in the Scale AI dashboard.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any existing tasks?

    No. The available tools only allow for creating new tasks or retrieving information from existing ones.

  • 03

    Can I use this to label text instead of images?

    No. The current tools are specifically designed for image annotation tasks.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which images are edge cases?

    The AI uses your own logic or prompts to identify problematic outputs. It doesn't decide what an edge case is unless you tell it how to find them.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically pay for the labeling?

    No. The AI triggers the task, but all billing and budget management happen within your Scale AI account.
