How Deccan Freestyle Transforms Annotation from Burden to Breakthrough
In the AI and machine learning ecosystem, high-quality labeled data is the lifeblood. But as datasets grow in complexity, a critical and often overlooked constraint is slowing teams down: the interface.
Behind every successful AI model lies not just good data but an efficient, adaptable, and intelligent annotation interface. And in many cases, that’s exactly where the system breaks down.
The Interface Dilemma: Where Innovation Stalls

Annotation today isn’t simple. Teams are labeling LiDAR scans, 3D medical imagery, interactive schematics, PDF documents, and even LaTeX-dense academic papers. And yet, they’re expected to manage this complexity with tools designed for static, single-purpose tasks.
The result? Engineering teams burn weeks or months building custom UIs that are clunky at best and unusable at worst. It’s a hidden but costly bottleneck - a challenge not of data, but of the interface itself.
Deccan Freestyle: A New Era of Annotation Infrastructure
Custom Interfaces, Zero Engineering Lag
Deccan Freestyle changes the equation. Built for speed, scale, and flexibility, it empowers ML and MLOps teams to design bespoke annotation interfaces on a drag-and-drop canvas, no code, no engineering backlog, no constraints.

Built for the Real World: Complex Inputs, Seamlessly Managed
Deccan Freestyle doesn’t just handle images, videos and text, it supports:
- Code editors and compilers
- LaTex rendering and editing
- Custom AI pipelines (assistance, workflows, etc.)
- 3D scans, maps, and schematics
- Rich text and JSON rendering
- And more
Whatever your data type, Deccan Freestyle adapts, not the other way around.
Plug and Play: Integrates Like It’s Native
Deccan Freestyle fits into your existing pipeline with minimal to zero integration friction. Whether you’re building internal tools or scaling external workflows, it’s built to move with your stack, not against it.
From Weeks to Hours: Deployment Without Delay
While traditional annotation tools can take months to build or adapt, Deccan Freestyle accelerates your workflow enabling your team to go from setup to full deployment in a matter of hours.
From Bottleneck to Strategic Advantage
Annotation interfaces have long been treated as a necessary evil. But in today’s landscape, they’re a strategic lever. The teams that win are the ones who design and deploy annotation environments as adaptable as their models. With Deccan Freestyle, what used to be a resource-heavy challenge becomes an engine for efficiency and innovation.
The Future of Annotation is Agile, Intelligent, and Yours to Shape
Deccan Freestyle is more than a product, it's the new standard for how annotation should be done. Fast. Flexible. Frictionless.
