Get paid to train AI

AI companies hire people to improve their models: rating and rewriting model answers, labeling images and text, evaluating code, fact-checking in a specialty (medicine, law, finance), red-teaming, or recording speech in a specific language. Most roles are remote contract work with flexible hours — you pick up tasks or projects rather than clocking a shift.

Are these jobs legitimate?

Every role on this site is pulled daily from the official public job boards of the platforms we track, and each listing shows when we last verified it. A reliable rule for this whole industry: no legitimate platform ever asks you to pay a signup fee, buy training, or share payment passwords. If anyone does, it's a scam — close the tab.

How much does it pay?

It varies widely with expertise. General annotation work typically pays modest hourly rates, while expert roles — physicians, lawyers, senior engineers, PhDs — currently list up to $350/hr and beyond. Where a platform publishes pay we show it on the listing; "pay after screening" means the platform discloses rates only during its hiring process.

Do I need experience or a degree?

Depends on the role. Many roles want deep domain expertise (a medical license, a PhD, professional coding experience) and pay accordingly. Others need strong writing, fluency in a specific language, or just care and attention. Filter by category on the browse page to find roles matching your background.

What does applying look like?

You apply on the platform's own site, not here. Expect some screening: Mercor and micro1 use an AI-run interview (micro1 calls theirs "Zara"), Turing uses assessments, and study platforms like Terac use per-study screening questions. Signup is free everywhere we list. Spots on popular roles fill quickly, so apply early.

How fresh are the listings?

The whole directory rebuilds from the platforms' live boards every day. Roles that closed or filled their spots drop off the same day; new roles appear with a "new this week" badge. Every listing shows its last-verified date. It's still possible to click through to a role in the minutes-to-hours window after it closed — the platform's page is always the final word.

How does this site make money?

Referral commissions: some platforms pay us when someone signs up through our link and later does paid work. It never costs you anything and never changes your pay. Platforms without referral programs get listed anyway — completeness matters more to us than monetizing every click. More detail on the about page.

Are you affiliated with DataAnnotation.tech?

No. DataAnnotation.tech is a well-known platform in this space, but we have no relationship with them and they run no public job board we could track. This site is an independent directory covering the platforms that do publish their openings.

Is Mercor Legit? Here Is the Full Picture

Yes. I have completed three paid Mercor contracts. What payment actually looks like, what workers report, and the scam checklist to run on any platform.

AI screening interviews are the gate to most AI training contracts. What the format is really like, why speed beats polish, and the tactics that compound.
