About GoKuna
GoKuna pays adults for short recording tasks they do on their phone, and collects real-world training data for teams building AI and robotics.
What GoKuna is
GoKuna runs short, consented recording tasks: an everyday object filmed from two angles, ambient household sound, a sample of your handwriting, and head-mounted point-of-view clips of ordinary activities. Each task states its requirements and its reward before you reserve it, and a person reviews every submission against the brief.
Robotics, physical AI and ML teams commission data through GoKuna, and AI agents can post paid photo and video tasks that real people do.
Who pays contributors
GoKuna does. Some tasks are collections GoKuna runs for itself and some are run for teams that buy data, but every task is reserved, reviewed and paid by GoKuna in the same way. The company buying the data is never named to contributors.
Payments are handled by Stripe. You set up payouts once, and Stripe verifies your identity and bank details directly. We never see your bank details.
Accepted clips are paid in US dollars within 7 business days after acceptance, once your payout setup is complete. Once a payment is sent, your bank typically receives it within a few business days. There is no minimum payout and no fee to be paid.
How data is consented
Contributors are adults who confirm they are 18 or over and only submit media they are allowed to share. The consent terms are recorded with each task.
You keep ownership of what you record. When a recording is accepted, you grant Techguyver Labs, LLC (GoKuna) and the customers who buy the data a non-exclusive licence to use, copy, modify and annotate it, and to train and evaluate AI and machine learning models with it. The licence is perpetual and irrevocable for recordings already delivered to a customer. Full terms are at gokuna.com/terms.
You can delete your account at any time, which erases your profile and your raw files from GoKuna storage. You can also withdraw a recording that has not been delivered to a customer by emailing roy@techguyverlabs.org. Recordings already delivered stay licensed to that customer.
