What it is

An annotation label is a reusable template that defines what feedback annotators provide. Labels are organization-scoped — once created, any queue in your workspace can use them. This keeps annotation criteria consistent across teams and projects.

Label types

FutureAGI supports five label types. Each type determines the UI control annotators see and the value format stored in the resulting score.

Allow Notes

Every label type supports an optional Allow Notes toggle. When enabled, annotators can attach free-text notes alongside their primary annotation. This is useful for capturing context that a structured label cannot express — for example, explaining why a response was rated as Negative. Notes are stored in the notes field of the resulting score and are available in exports and the API.

Scope and reuse

Labels belong to the organization, not to individual queues or projects. This means:
  • A label created by one team member is available to all queues in the workspace.
  • Updating a label’s name or description applies everywhere it is referenced.
  • Deleting a label does not remove existing scores that were created with it — historical data is preserved.
