Our revolutionary marketplace bridges the gap between content creators and AI companies hungry for high-quality video training data, solving the critical challenge facing the AI industry: by 2026, it is projected that high-quality internet data for AI training will be mostly exhausted, creating an urgent need for new, commercially safe training content.
Our global network of creators capture 1080p+ videos through their phones using our mobile app - completing gamified “Missions” (custom video orders from AI companies). We offer two services: large-scale data acquisition for known training needs, and RLHF training where creators test AI models, identify failures, and create reference videos. We deliver quality-controlled and pre-validated video clips with granular metadata and clean chain-of-title/provenance, ready to be fed to hungry AI models. Our video clips are tailored to controlled scenarios that eliminate legal risk, accelerate model improvement, and fairly compensate creators each time their footage is licensed - leveraging and rewarding human creativity to shape the next generation of AI models across media, robotics, healthcare, gaming, and more.
