The Data Platform
for Physical AI

The end-to-end platform for Physical AI — from training data to production. Curate, label and understand your data, then pretrain, fine-tune and ship the models that run on it.

Platform

Your complete toolkit for computer vision

Two products, one pipeline. LightlyStudio is the data hub - curate, annotate, evaluate and visualize. LightlyTrain turns that data into production models

Find the samples worth labeling.

Everything you index is embedded automatically.

Filter by metadata, search by text or image, then run a sampling strategy - diverse coverage, deduplication, outlier detection, similarity, or class balancing - to keep only the subset worth labeling.

Automatic embeddings on index
Text and image similarity search
Six sampling strategies, one query
Start for Free

Label and QA your data in one place.

Create, edit and review annotations right where you work, whether that's a quick check or a full QA pass.

Every labeled object gets its own embedding, so you can search and cluster objects the same way you search whole images. Bring in SAM3 or a LightlyTrain model to auto-label the easy cases first.

Annotate and QA in one place

Know exactly where your model breaks.

Run an evaluation against ground truth and get per-sample metrics plus a confusion matrix, no separate script required.

Sort by false positives, false negatives or mIoU to jump straight to the samples your model gets wrong.

Detection, classification and segmentation

Versioned annotations

Add or vibe-code your plugins.

Install ready-made plugins for SAM3 segmentation, LightlyTrain auto-labeling and video bounding box propagation, or register your own.

A plugin is a Python function with a form, so anything you can script, your whole team can run from the UI.

Work on the same dataset, together.

Invite your team and give each person a role that matches what they should touch.

Viewers browse and export, Labelers tag and annotate, Editors configure the workspace, Admins manage it all.

Role-based access for your team

Get your data out, in the format you need.

Export annotations or filenames straight from the grid, or automate it in Python. Export the full dataset or just a filtered subset by tag or query.

COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC and more

Integration

One loop from raw data to trained model

LightlyStudio curates and labels the data. LightlyTrain learns from it. What the model learns flows back to make the next round of curation smarter.

Physical AI

Enterprise-grade scale & security

Robots, drones and vehicles learn from what their cameras see and what their bodies do. Lightly turns that raw video, depth and telemetry into curated, labeled training data at the scale embodied AI needs.
