SuperAnnotate
Also known as: SuperAnnotate Agent Hub, SuperAnnotate Orchestrate, SuperAnnotate MCP Server, superannotate.com
SuperAnnotate sells a data platform for building, evaluating and improving AI models and agents, used by labs and enterprises such as Databricks and ServiceNow. For agents, it imports each run into review interfaces a team configures, where experts and LLM judges score tool use and reasoning, correct steps and turn the results into datasets. Agent Hub connects models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and others into Orchestrate pipelines that route work between models and people, and an MCP server opens projects to agents.
SuperAnnotate AI, Inc. builds software and runs services for the human data behind AI models. Its platform covers a multimodal editor where teams design their own annotation and evaluation interfaces, image, video, audio, text and LiDAR tooling, Explore for curating datasets, analytics, and Orchestrate for automating work between models and people.
Beside the software it sells AI Data Services, in which its project managers run programs end to end with a vetted network of domain experts, plus RL environments, off the shelf benchmark datasets and data partnerships. Led by cofounder and chief executive Vahan Petrosyan, the company has raised $50 million through its Series B and names Databricks, ServiceNow, Motorola Solutions, Hinge Health and GumGum among its customers.
For agents, the platform works as an evaluation and improvement layer for systems the customer builds. Agent runs come in from cloud storage, Databricks, Snowflake or the Python SDK with their tool actions, decisions and responses, and a review interface built in the editor lays out each step from input through reasoning and tool calls to the response. Reviewers score runs on tool use, reasoning and task fit, fix a wrong tool argument in place and turn reviewed runs into datasets, while LLM judges can score first and pass low scores to experts.
Agent Hub connects models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Fireworks AI, Vertex AI, Databricks, AWS Bedrock or a custom endpoint on the team's own keys, each with instructions, function tools and structured output. Those agents run as nodes in Orchestrate pipelines triggered by platform events, incoming webhooks or schedules, next to Python actions, webhooks and expert review steps, and Monitoring shows each agent run's prompt, output and MCP tool calls. A hosted MCP server lets agents list and read projects, folders, items and annotations and set annotations and statuses.
Pricing is by quote. Starter, Pro and Enterprise plans differ in Orchestrate compute hours, at 1,000, 2,500 and 10,000, and in support, with single sign on, a dedicated Slack channel and a customer success manager from Pro, and a solutions engineer and AI DataOps consulting on Enterprise. Model calls run on the customer's own provider credentials. SuperAnnotate holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, supports SAML and OIDC single sign on with team, project and custom roles, and offers its US cloud, its EU cloud or an on premises deployment, with items able to stay in the customer's own cloud storage.
It fits AI teams and model builders that want domain experts and LLM judges reviewing agent behavior step by step in an interface shaped to their own agent, and that turn those reviews into training and evaluation data, especially where the same experts already label other data on the platform. It fits less well for a team that wants live tracing captured by an SDK inside a running agent, a self serve plan with a public price, or ready made agent evaluation templates rather than an editor to build them, and for buyers who want the evaluation work itself done for them, which SuperAnnotate sells as a separate services engagement.

Integrations
Data and agent runs come in from AWS S3, Google Cloud, Azure, Databricks (including Partner Connect), Snowflake or a custom integration, and through the Python SDK. Agent Hub connects models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Fireworks AI, Vertex AI, Databricks and AWS Bedrock, plus custom endpoints. Orchestrate sends webhooks and emails and runs custom Python actions, and the hosted MCP server lets pipeline agents and outside clients work on projects. Single sign on works with Azure AD, Okta and Ping Identity.
In practice
A travel booking startup imports a week of its agent's runs from S3. Reviewers see one run search for flights to Paris with the wrong airport code, correct the tool argument in place and score the run on tool use and task fit, and the corrected runs become a dataset for the next fine tune.
An insurer's AI team connects a Claude model in Agent Hub as a judge. When a batch of claim summaries lands, an Orchestrate pipeline has the judge score each one against a rubric, sends anything under 3 to two adjusters for review, escalates their disagreements and exports the approved set.
A software company runs its support agent's conversations through a review project where product experts rate reasoning and tool calls, then tracks agreement between each expert and the LLM judge to decide when the judge alone can score new releases.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Partial |
|---|---|
|
Agents connected in Agent Hub can carry up to 20 function tools and, on OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini models, a web search tool, and a function call comes back in the tool_calls field of the agent's JSON response for a following pipeline step to act on. Inside the platform, the MCP server lets pipeline agents read projects and items and write annotations and statuses. Outside systems are reached through Orchestrate's webhook and email actions and custom Python actions that call any API with stored secrets, while storage integrations hold read only access to the customer's buckets.

| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
Orchestrate pipelines chain events, actions and agent nodes on a canvas, and each node's output becomes the context payload of the next, which an agent prompt can address field by field with JSONPath. Nodes carry success and failure branches, custom Python actions run with their own libraries and secrets, and a router can approve confident results automatically while sending the rest to expert review. A rerun replays an action with its original payload and runs every node after it, and whole pipelines export as templates for other teams to import.

|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Not documented |
|
Agent Hub connections hold instructions, model settings, tools and an output format, with no knowledge base, document index or vector store for an agent to retrieve from. Context reaches an agent as the payload of the event that started the run, values pulled into the prompt with JSONPath, files attached to a request, and item annotations read through the MCP server at run time. Embedding generation and natural language search were removed from Vector and Text projects, and retrieval augmented generation appears on the platform as a system to evaluate rather than a store agents query.

|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Full |
|
Human review sits inside the same pipelines agents run in. A model can prelabel or score each item, low confidence results go to an expert review checkpoint that approves them into the dataset or sends them back, and items an LLM judge scores below a threshold go to two evaluators with disagreements escalated. Custom roles carry approve and disapprove rights and item statuses gate what moves on. Administrators can deselect MCP tools an agent should not use, though MCP tool calls run without approval by default. Sourcesuperannotate.com/agent-hubread 2026-11-09 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
Organization owners set up SAML 2.0 or OIDC single sign on with Azure AD, Okta, Ping Identity and other providers and can enforce it for every member, on the Pro and Enterprise plans. Team Owner, Team Admin and Contributor roles, project roles, custom roles and group data scopes decide who can connect models, reach Orchestrate, manage API keys or download data. The trust center lists SOC 2 Type II, available on request, and an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate open to download, alongside annual penetration testing and encryption in transit and at rest.

| Observability & Auditability | Full |
|
Monitoring lists every action and agent run across a team's pipelines with its status, triggering event, project and creation time, and charts them by count or compute time over windows of up to six months. Opening an agent run shows its parameters and prompt, the chain of triggers that led to it, its input, its output and a trace of each MCP tool call with request and response payloads, kept for 14 days. Telemetry adds logs of every annotation status change, working time and assignment history, which reporting APIs export as CSV. Sourcedoc.superannotate.com/docs/pipelines-monitoringread 2026-11-09 |
|
| Memory & State Persistence | Not documented |
|
Agent requests go straight to the model provider's endpoint and come back as received. A pipeline passes one node's output to the next within a single run, and a rerun replays an action with the payload it first received, so nothing an agent concludes carries into later runs. Items, annotations and statuses persist because they are the project's data, which an agent reads or changes through the MCP server like any other record. Agent Hub connections keep configuration such as instructions and model parameters, with no memory store scoped to a user, team or workflow.

|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Data can sit in SuperAnnotate's US cloud, its EU cloud or an on premises installation in the customer's own environment, and items can stay in the customer's AWS, Google Cloud or Azure storage, where the platform holds read only access and only displays them. Agent Hub can call custom model endpoints on the customer's own infrastructure. The privacy policy places the hosted service on servers in the United States, and AWS in the USA is the only cloud host on the subprocessor list.

| Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs | Partial |
|
New projects can start from a library of form templates such as chat rating, side by side model comparison and image generation feedback, each previewed with its own README before import, and an assistant in the editor drafts an interface from a description. No template lays out an agent run step by step, and Agent Hub ships no prebuilt agent or packaged judge, so teams assemble agent review forms and judges themselves. Pipeline templates are JSON exports of a team's own pipelines, and the benchmark datasets are data products rather than agents.

|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Pipelines start on their own from platform events: a project, folder, item or export being created, updated or deleted, or a contributor joining or leaving a project. An incoming webhook lets any outside system start a run, and a periodic event fires hourly, daily, weekly or on a custom interval in a chosen time zone between set start and end dates. Custom events let a team run a pipeline by hand, and an agent node receives the whole payload of the step before it appended to its prompt, so the triggering event is its starting context.

|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Full |
|
Each Agent Hub connection names its own provider and model, chosen by the team from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Fireworks AI, Vertex AI, Databricks and AWS Bedrock, or a custom endpoint for an internal or on premises model, and runs on credentials the team stores. Teams set reasoning effort, verbosity, temperature, token limits, timeouts and retries per connection and override them per pipeline node, with up to 200 connections a team, so judges and labeling agents can run on different models at once.

| APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
The Python SDK, installed from PyPI, works with the platform's own projects, folders, items, annotations and subsets, authenticated with team, personal or organization API keys that can be generated, rotated and revoked, and reporting APIs export activity data. A hosted MCP server takes a bearer team or personal key and exposes ten tools that list and read projects, folders, items and annotations and set item annotations and statuses, usable from pipeline agent nodes or an outside MCP client.

| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Full |
|
Agent runs import with their tool actions, decisions and responses into a review interface the team shapes to its own agent, laying out each step from input and reasoning to tool call and response. Reviewers score a run on dimensions such as tool use, reasoning and task fit, correct a wrong tool argument in place and turn reviewed runs into datasets, while LLM judges can score first and pass weak results to experts. Analytics track agreement between each evaluator and the judge, and an audit trail records every score change and approval. Sourcesuperannotate.com/solutions-agentsread 2026-11-09 |

| Browser / Computer-use | Not documented |
|
Agents on the platform work through model calls, function tools, web search and the MCP server, and no agent drives a browser, a desktop or another application's screen. RL environment packs for browser and computer tasks are built with SuperAnnotate's research team and expert services rather than run from the platform, and the computer use trajectories it sells are recorded datasets for training and evaluating other agents. The multimodal editor runs in a browser, operated by the people doing the review. Sourcedoc.superannotate.com/docs/agent-hub-overviewread 2026-11-09 |

Pricing
Quote only. Starter, Pro and Enterprise plans carry no public price.
Plan tiers set through sales, each with an allowance of Orchestrate compute hours. Model calls bill to the customer's own provider accounts.
Included quota
Orchestrate compute hours of 1,000 on Starter, 2,500 on Pro and 10,000 on Enterprise. Every plan includes the multimodal editor, the image, video, text and audio editors, data curation, analytics, team and project management and platform onboarding.
What is public
The three plan names, a feature comparison across them, the Orchestrate compute hours each includes (1,000, 2,500 and 10,000), which plans add single sign on, a dedicated Slack channel and a customer success manager, and that Enterprise adds a solutions engineer and AI DataOps consulting.
Billing mechanics
Plans are quoted through a demo request or a sales contact. Model calls from Agent Hub connections run on credentials the customer stores for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Fireworks AI, Vertex AI, Databricks, AWS Bedrock or a custom endpoint, so the provider bills inference directly.
Cost watchouts
LLM judges and Agent Hub agents bill to the customer's own provider accounts on top of the platform fee. Single sign on is not on Starter. Expert reviewers from SuperAnnotate's network are a separate services purchase.
Variable cost rationale
The platform fee is set by quote and includes a fixed allowance of Orchestrate compute hours, so pipeline volume beyond it is a commercial question with no public rate. Agent and judge inference runs on the customer's own model provider keys, so that cost grows with how many items and runs an agent or judge scores, and managed expert work through AI Data Services is a separate quote.
Additional watchouts
Single sign on starts on Pro. Judge and agent inference is a second bill from the model provider. Managed expert review is a services quote separate from the platform plans.
Overage / add-ons
No rate for Orchestrate compute hours past the plan allowance is public.
Sales call required
Yes, required for paid access
Free / trial
None published
Lowest paid plan
Starter, with no public price. Its Get started button opens a demo request form.
Commercial notes
SuperAnnotate AI, Inc. has raised $50 million through its Series B and names Databricks, ServiceNow and Motorola Solutions among its customers. It sells AI Data Services, RL environments and benchmark datasets alongside the platform.
Key ambiguities
No plan has a public price, and the Starter plan's Get started button leads to the same demo request form as Pro, so whether any plan can be bought without a sales conversation is unclear. No rate exists for Orchestrate compute hours beyond the plan allowance.
Support SLA / resale
Platform onboarding on every plan. Pro and Enterprise add a dedicated Slack channel and a dedicated customer success manager, and Enterprise adds a dedicated solutions engineer and AI DataOps consulting.
Missing data
Every plan price, seat or user limits, contract length and minimums, the rate for Orchestrate compute hours beyond each allowance, and AI Data Services pricing.
