**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](/source/Large_language_models).[1][2][3] The company originated as Aipoly, founded in [San Francisco](/source/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](/source/Mobile_application) that generated audio descriptions of objects for [visually impaired](/source/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](/source/Automatic_image_annotation) tools and model-training workflows incorporating [active learning](/source/Active_learning_(machine_learning)).[7] In 2022 the company released a [Chrome](/source/ChromeOS) 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]
