Goloka AI Data & Evaluation

Build and
evaluate AI with
the right people.

Goloka helps AI teams generate human data, work with relevant language and specialist communities, and evaluate how models perform for the people they are meant to serve.

How we can work with you

Start with the gap in your model or dataset.

You may already know the language, data type or evaluation task you need. Or you may simply know that your model is not performing well enough for the audience you care about. We can start from either point.

Generate purpose-built data

Build new text, speech, image or contextual datasets around a defined model or product requirement.

Access existing data

Explore existing language, cultural and field datasets that can inform evaluation or learning requirements.

Evaluate model performance

Test how a model behaves across relevant languages, users, places and real-world contexts.

Build benchmarks

Create reusable evaluation sets for comparing performance consistently over time.

How an AI data project works

You tell us what your model needs.
We build the human process around it.

We turn your model requirements into a structured human-data and evaluation workflow. Your team stays in control of technical definitions through collection, quality assurance and delivery.

Get Started with Goloka
Step 1

You describe the requirement.

Share the model type, language, population, data modality and intended product or performance gap.

Step 2

We confirm the available supply.

We assess whether the relevant speakers, users or specialists can be recruited and what scale is realistic.

Step 3

We design the task with you.

We agree the contributor profile, task instructions, qualification process, consent requirements, quality controls and expected output.

Step 4

We recruit and qualify the right people.

Participants are selected for the requirements of the project rather than treated as a generic labour pool.

Step 5

We collect and quality-assure the work.

We manage collection or evaluation workflow and apply the agreed review process before delivery.

Step 6

You receive documented data or evaluation results.

The output is delivered with the agreed supporting information and quality controls.

What Goloka can generate

Different models require different kinds of human input.

Language Speech & Text

Speech and conversational audio

Text generation and response data

Transcription

Translation

Image, Video & Multimodal Data

Image, video and field evidence

Multimodal datasets

Real-world observations

Feedback & Model Evaluation

Preference and ranking exercises

Human evaluation of model responses

Usability testing

Safety reviews

Context & Specialist Evaluation

Language and cultural evaluation

Specialist or domain evaluation

The people behind the data

The people producing or evaluating the data should understand what it represents.

A Hausa data task is not simply English translated into Hausa.

Language changes by region and context. Cultural expectations shape interpretation. Specialist subjects require people who know the field. We design the human side of a data project around that reality.

Goloka community researchers
01

We recruit for context.

02

We can combine digital tasks with ground evidence.

03

We manage the workflow from recruitment through QA.

04

We understand that rights matter.

Consent and data rights

Permission is part of the dataset.

Research participants, AI trainers, AI evaluators and commercial data contributors are not interchangeable. The work requires clear consent, use rights and handling rules.

We design sourcing and documentation around the intended use of the data so teams understand what they can use, how and under what conditions.
