The record

What it does: Nyckel provides live API endpoints that turn inputs into structured decisions while handling model selection, training, hosting, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
Function types: Nyckel supports classification, Box Detect, and Search functions.
Immediate endpoint: A function endpoint is live when created and can return predictions before labeled examples are added.
Feedback loop: Reviewed predictions become training samples and Nyckel retrains and promotes a new model only when it scores better than the current one.
Confidence scores: Function predictions include a calibrated confidence score ranging from 0.0 to 1.0.
Integrations: Nyckel offers a Zapier integration with classify, import, and train actions, and the integration is available to users on any plan.
API access: The platform exposes a REST API with bearer-token authentication and endpoints for functions, labels, samples, annotations, and invocation.
Security compliance: Nyckel's terms state that it will maintain annually updated reports or certifications for penetration testing and SOC2 Type I.
Training-data privacy: Nyckel states that customer training data is used exclusively to train models for that customer and is not used to train models for another party.
Deployment: Nyckel says custom models can be deployed in its secure infrastructure in any AWS, GCP, or Azure region or in the customer's cloud.
Support: The Enterprise plan includes dedicated ML support and consulting.
Object detection limits: Nyckel's bounding-box product lists up to 1,000 classes, 1M images, and 2–4 hours per training.
