V7 Labs (legally V7 Ltd) is a London-based software company that develops tools for annotating visual data and automating document-based workflows using large language models.[1][2][3] The company originated as Aipoly, founded in San Francisco in 2015, and rebranded as V7 after relocating to London in 2018.[4][5]
History
The firm launched as Aipoly in 2015, releasing a mobile application that generated audio descriptions of objects for visually impaired users and later developing computer-vision systems for retail.[4][6] In 2018 it moved to London and adopted the name V7.[4][6]
The company's Darwin platform includes image-annotation tools and model-training workflows incorporating active learning.[7] In 2022 the company released a Chrome extension intended to detect AI-generated profile images.[1][8][9]
In April 2024 V7 introduced V7 Go, a platform for automating document and office workflows using large language models. Its users uploads files and it issues natural-language instructions, with applications such as invoice processing and document summarization.[2][5][10]
Operations
V7’s software has been deployed in medical imaging and related healthcare workflows, including dataset creation and annotation for training models to identify findings on diagnostic scans and support DICOM-based pipelines.[3][6][11] It's also used in pharmaceutical manufacturing, such as computer-vision systems for visual inspection tasks on production lines.[3][4]
Technology
V7's applications are used in document processing, where its software automates steps such as information extraction, invoice processing, and document summarization through large language models and multi-step workflows.[5][2][10] These applications have also been deployed for legal document review, including extracting structured data from contracts and due-diligence materials.[12]
V7 technology is also used in agricultural robotics, where the platform supports dataset creation and model iteration for crop identification tasks.[13]
