(Note the Appen Data Annotation Platform is getting a new look & feel. Explore the new experience by switching between Appen logos at the bottom of your global navigation (see this article.)

Once this feature is enabled for your team, you will be able to access it via the circle icon in the global navigation sidebar. Click on the icon and you will see five tabs:

  1. Choose My Model

  2. Prepare My Data

  3. Build My Prompts

  4. Optimize My Model

  5. Make My Model Safe

  6. Build My RAG

Please see this article for guidance in using the templates, once you have chosen your usecase. 

Prepare My Data

In this section, you will find three templates designed to help you extract valuable data from your existing documents. You can annotate entities in text, extract transcripts from PDFs or create question-answer pairs from existing documents.

Build My Prompts

We propose three templates to help you craft prompts for LLM alignment, using images or text data. These prompts will be a warm start for your model to generate additional prompts.

Optimize My Model

Optimize your model using these templates enabling you to A/B test live or pre-generated conversations. Go a step further and correct models' answer to improve your model's performance and alignment.

Make My Model Safe

Connect with your model through our AI Chat Feedback tool to engage in live conversation, push your model to its limits and evaluate its answer using your tailored ontology.
