Tendem by Toloka

Tendem by Toloka is built on a simple truth: AI isn't enough. When your AI hits a wall—gets confused, makes things up, or just stops—someone still needs to actually fix things. That's Tendem. It sits between you and your AI task, automating what machines can handle and instantly routing what's beyond them to a real human expert who can actually think.

The tagline says it all: "Behind every AI, a human expert." It's the anti-hallucination play—why build a perfect model when you can just pair it with someone who knows what they're doing? Tendem handles the handoff, the routing, the quality control. You get the speed of AI for the easy stuff and the accuracy of a human when it matters.

Everyone's racing to make AI smarter. Tendem said "actually, let's just make sure someone's there when it breaks"—and honestly, for high-stakes use cases where fake content costs real money, that might be the smarter bet.

They're based globally and currently hiring for both engineering and operations roles.
