What does it do?

Houdini provides an API that makes it easy to integrate human labor from Amazon\’s Mechanical Turk (and other crowdsourced labor pools) directly into web applications using only a few lines of easy to read code.

Why do we need it?

Working with Mechanical Turk\’s API is cumbersome. Houdini handles all the complicated stuff behind the scenes making it easy to quickly and intuitively integrate Mechanical Turk into your existing applications.

Who is it for?

Anyone who needs to integrate human labor into their digital workflow – for moderating nswf images, tagging/classifying products, crowdsourcing content creation, collecting data, transcribing audio and more.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

In addition to being easy to use, Houdini offer smart technology designed to make sure that you receive high quality results with ease (e.g. intelligent filtering).

What’s next?

Integration with other additional labor pools besides mTurk (e.g. Samasource) and continuing to develop ways to ensure optimal quality results from human workers.
