How it works
Pick a job or a platform
Filter the job list by field, language or country, or start from the platform grades.
Apply on their site
You sign up with the platform, not with us. Each job page lists the steps first, so you know about the AI interview or unpaid test before you start.
Do paid tasks
Once you pass, tasks show up in the platform's dashboard. You work when you want and get paid on its schedule, usually by Stripe, PayPal or bank transfer.
Why you can trust these numbers
Pulled daily from the source
Every listing comes from the platform's own job board. Last refresh: November 6.
Grades aren't for sale
No platform pays for a better grade or score. Top picks come from a public formula.
Apply is never paywalled
One click to the platform's own page. No sign-up with Rubric.
Old posts don't pad the count
Posts over a year old stay listed, marked with their age, but never count toward open jobs or pay figures.
Questions people ask first
What is AI training work?
It is paid work teaching AI models to give better answers. You write prompts, rate or rank a model's replies, fix wrong answers, or write the ideal answer yourself. AI labs buy this work through platforms such as Mercor, micro1 and Outlier, which hire contractors to do it from home.
Is AI training work legit?
Yes, the main platforms are real companies that pay real money, but the work is contract work with no guarantees. Projects end without warning, and some platforms are slow to pay or rarely give new people tasks. Anyone who asks you to pay a fee, buy a "starter kit" or move the chat to Telegram is a scammer, not a platform.
How much does AI training work pay?
Top rates on Rubric's open listings run from $3 to $450 an hour, and the typical top rate is $70/hr: half of the 1,713 listings that state an hourly rate offer that or more. General writing and rating sits at the low end; coding, medicine, law and finance experts get the top rates. You are usually paid only for hours you log on tasks, not for the application or unpaid tests.
Can I do AI training jobs from India?
Yes. Mercor, micro1, Turing, Outlier, Alignerr and Invisible accept people from most countries, including India, though some individual projects are limited to the US or other countries. 314 of today's listings are open to people in India. Check each platform's country rules before you spend an hour on its test.
How do you pick the top jobs?
A fixed formula, the same for every listing: how the top hourly rate compares with the typical top rate, how recently it was posted, our payout and steady-work grades for the platform, and who can apply. Listings with no stated pay lose points. Nobody pays to be picked.
Do I need a degree for AI training jobs?
Not for general work. Writing, rating and language jobs mostly want strong English (or another language) and care with detail, and you prove that with a test. Expert jobs in coding, medicine, law or science usually ask for a degree or work experience in that field, and they pay much more because of it.
