The AI training work that fits around a job, kids or study: what you need at home, how many hours a week is realistic, and which platforms are open worldwide.
Twelve platforms, one table: what each one asks you to do, what it publishes about pay, how and when it pays, and who it is genuinely right for.
From $3 an hour of accepted chore footage to $100 an hour for a physician rating medical answers. Every number here is a published platform rate or a documented contributor report.
Robotics labs are buying millions of hours of first-person video of people cooking, cleaning, driving and working. This is how the work is briefed, filmed, approved and paid.
You do not need a degree to train AI. You need a recent phone, a place you can film, and the patience to follow a brief. The exact steps, and which platforms will actually take a beginner.
OpenTrain is a feed of AI training roles across 20+ platforms, from $6-an-hour video collection to $100-an-hour expert evaluation. What it is good at, and when a direct program is simpler.
The three kinds of AI training work that actually exist, the pay bands each one carries, the platforms that hire, and the one kind you can do with no degree and a phone.
