Potato has finally moved beyond just text! New in 2.0:

AI-Assisted Annotation

Potato 2.0 works with multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and local LLMs (vLLM, Ollama) to help annotators work faster:
- Intelligent hints without giving answers
- Keyword highlighting
- Label suggestions

Your annotators get guidance. You keep control.
