Certified researchers
University-powered AI research laboratories that produce the next generation of knowledge engineering infrastructure for agentic AI systems.
University partnerships
We partner with leading universities to transform their computer science and domain expertise departments into revenue-generating AI research hubs.
AI Research Pods
Each lab consists of multiple Research Pods: dedicated teams of 15 to 25 students working on graph-based knowledge engineering and agentic AI systems.
Progressive certification
Students advance through a 7-level AIOps maturity scale, from basic annotation (L1 Apprentice) to strategic leadership (L7 Chief).
Global network
Our lab network spans South Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond, targeting regions with deep talent pools and favorable economics.
While India and Philippines excel at low-level data labeling, ActionBoard AI Labs train researchers to design agentic AI systems, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent workflows, capturing the premium tier where virtually no South Asian supply exists today.
Low-level data labeling
$1 to $3/hr
Agentic AI systems, knowledge graphs, multi-agent workflows
