Introduction
Encord Agents
Encord Agents allow you to automate and customize your annotation workflows with minimal code.
Agents can be hosted on your own infrastructure or in the cloud, including platforms like GCP.
They are divided into two main categories:
Task Agents
automate operations at the project and task level.
Editor Agents
interact directly with the annotation editor to assist with data labeling.
Use Agents to extend the Encord platform programmatically, enabling advanced automation, quality assurance, and model-assisted labeling.
Choosing the Right Type of Agent
Task Agents
run as part of your Encord Workflow, executing custom logic on each task. They are ideal for:
Pre-labeling using foundation models (for example: GPT-4o)
Automated quality checks
Custom task routing and orchestration
Editor Agents
are custom API endpoints that integrate with the Encord annotation editor. Use them to:
Extend in-editor functionality
Perform real-time inference or validation
Enable context-aware labeling tools
