It resembles an open source annotation tool that has existed for years. https://brat.nlplab.org/

It doesn't include a ML assistant though.

We have built a semi-automated annotation tool for our internal use too. ML models help classify documents and extract named entities by making suggestions. Sometimes I'm thinking of spinning it off as a standalone product but not sure how big the market would be.

We're fans of brat and are hoping to take it to the next level. We devoted many hours to ensuring a highly performant web app on the latest modern tech stack. Additionally we're expanding beyond a labeling interface to include semi-automated annotation, as well as team management capabilities.

I think the semi-automated annotation tool is quite the same with prodigy

Both can be described as semi-automated annotation, but we use different approaches! Datasaur allows you to plug in any pre-existing model to pre-label or validate your labels. One such model we integrate with is spaCy, so we're certainly fans of the Prodigy/Explosion team.

Yes it is more similar to Figure Eight Text Annotation which allows you to use pre-existing models including Spacy or you can bring your own model
