What Are ActionBoard AI Labs?

University-powered AI research laboratories that produce the next generation of knowledge engineering infrastructure for agentic AI systems.

๐ŸŽ“

University Partnerships

We partner with leading universities to transform their computer science and domain expertise departments into revenue-generating AI research hubs.

๐Ÿงช

AI Research Pods

Each lab consists of multiple Research Pods โ€” dedicated teams of 15-25 students working on graph-based knowledge engineering and agentic AI systems.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Progressive Certification

Students advance through a 7-level AIOps maturity scale, from basic annotation (L1 Apprentice) to strategic leadership (L7 Chief).

๐ŸŒ

Global Network

Our lab network spans South Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond โ€” targeting regions with deep talent pools and favorable economics.

From Commodity Annotation to Strategic AI Architecture

While India and Philippines excel at low-level data labeling ($1-3/hr), ActionBoard AI Labs train researchers to design agentic AI systems, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent workflows ($40-120+/hr) โ€” capturing the premium tier where virtually no South Asian supply exists today.

Global Lab Network

Six specialized AI Labs across four countries, each focusing on unique verticals and domain expertise.
