Agents (BETA)

ℹ️

Note

The Agents feature is currently available in Beta. While in Beta, the feature might not be as stable as our fully released functionalities, and we encourage users to provide feedback to help us improve its performance and reliability.

Agents enable you to integrate your own API endpoint, such as your own model, with Encord to enhance your annotation processes. Agents can be called while annotating in the Label Editor.
