Scale

Scale is a productivity tool. Donovan from Scale AI is an agent platform for public sector and defense teams. A no-code Agent Factory, model comparison and evaluation tools, a library of prebuilt agents and support for classified and air gapped networks cover the build-to-deploy cycle.

Donovan is Scale AI's platform for building, testing and deploying specialized AI agents inside public sector organizations. It targets defense, intelligence and civilian government teams that need agents for workflows such as intelligence analysis, planning and report writing, and it is offered for unclassified, classified and air gapped environments. The core of the product is the Agent Factory, a no-code interface where a user writes a system prompt, attaches knowledge bases (the homepage shows examples such as GDELT event data, policy documents and an operations database), picks a language model and assembles a pipeline of connector, retrieval, reranking and generation steps. An output preview shows how the agent answers before it goes live. A model comparison view places two models side by side on metrics like factual accuracy, hallucination rate, context recall and p95 latency, so a team can choose a model for its workflow with evidence rather than guesswork. Beyond building from scratch, an Agent Arsenal lists ready-made agents and applications, including a GDELT analysis agent, exhaustive document search, a flashpoint monitoring chat, a mission analyst for operational reports and an address extraction agent. Underneath sit data ingestion through prebuilt connectors, local upload, cloud or API, agentic retrieval, guardrails and red teaming, monitoring, evaluations and a data flywheel. Agents show their reasoning and the resources they used, which supports traceability. Donovan is model agnostic and cloud agnostic. It runs as a Kubernetes containerized platform, can use a customer's preferred cloud and model provider, and Scale can fine-tune models or supply options such as Defense Llama. Authorizations listed include DISA IL4 and FedRAMP High for the unclassified and CUI GovCloud. Compared with general enterprise agent builders, Donovan competes on compliance posture and deployment reach into secure networks rather than on consumer convenience, which makes it a specialist choice for government buyers.
