Record Video at Home for AI - $70 One-Time Task

Record a set of short videos at home with your iPhone and TV, and get $70.

One-time task. $70 for one approved task, done once. About 1 to 1.5 hours, plus upload time on Wi-Fi.

Help train AI for smart TVs. You'll film a short video of your face, then a series of short videos in your living room while a set clip plays on your TV. Step-by-step instructions on YouTube show you exactly what to do, and you upload everything through the Mindrift app.

Mindrift connects people with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based.

What this opportunity involves

We're looking for US-based participants to record a short set of videos at home for a smart TV AI project. There is no prior experience required: you follow the video instructions and record with your own iPhone. On this project, participants will:

• Record a short video of their face;
• Record a series of short videos in their living room while a set clip plays on the TV, following the step-by-step YouTube instructions (sitting on the couch, moving in front of the TV, using a few everyday items);
• Set up the phone on a tripod or phone holder and keep the whole setup within about 10 ft of the TV;
• Upload all recordings through the Mindrift app over Wi-Fi.

It's a one-time task: once your recordings are approved, you're done and you get paid.
