Mercor

What Mercor does

Mercor is an AI-native labor network that connects domain experts (e.g., professionals who can evaluate, analyze, or execute work in a field) with AI labs and enterprises that need that expertise to build, test, and deploy AI systems. Mercor positions its platform as both (1) a talent marketplace/matching and placement layer for expert work and (2) a measurement layer for “real-world” AI performance via its APEX benchmark family. In its description of its business, Mercor emphasizes organizing human intelligence across hundreds of professional fields, using expert work to train and evaluate frontier AI models, and then reusing the same expert network to staff and accelerate AI deployments inside enterprise organizations.
