Expert computer-use data for frontier AI labs

Markov builds expert computer-use datasets for frontier AI labs. Our datasets include screen recordings + mouse/keyboard actions of professionals using CAD, design and enterprise software.

We work with the top AI labs and we’ve gotten more than 350k downloads on HuggingFace. Our long-term goal is to be the full stack platform for computer-use AI, starting with data and then the infrastructure to train and deploy computer-use models.

Dev and Harish are technical co-founders. Dev studied aerospace engineering at IIT Madras and was the youngest team member at Sarvam - India’s top AI lab. Harish is an Emergent Ventures grantee and his prior robotics work was featured in top national publications.
