Feedback

“Blind panels of working creatives caught quality gaps our automated evals never flagged.”

“HCB gave us a single, defensible number for ‘is this actually good’ — something benchmark scores never captured.”

“The preference data reflects how expert designers actually judge output, not a proxy for it.”

Human taste is the new training data.

Creative AI isn’t good enough yet. Human creativity keeps evolving. We’re here to make sure it leads.
