AI video data collection jobs
AI models that see the world learn from video of the world: ordinary objects, ordinary rooms, ordinary hands doing ordinary jobs. GoKuna pays adults to record exactly that kind of footage on a phone, to a short written brief, and pays for every clip that passes review.
What you actually film
Every video task comes with a brief that says what to capture and how. The brief is specific on purpose, because a model learns best from footage that is consistent and clearly described.
A typical object task asks for one everyday object on a clear surface, filmed steadily for 10 to 20 seconds so both sides are visible. It pays $5.00 per accepted clip and takes about 3 minutes. First-person tasks ask for short point-of-view clips of household jobs such as cooking, tidying or laundry, filmed with a phone or action camera at head height, and pay $10.00 per accepted clip. Longer tasks record stretches of normal daily life from a head or chest mount and pay $20.00 per accepted hour.
None of it needs acting, a script or a studio. The point is real footage of real, everyday activity, recorded the way the brief describes.
What the brief tells you before you commit
Before you reserve a task you can read the whole brief: the capture instructions, the minimum and maximum clip length, the largest file size accepted, the file formats accepted, an estimate of how long it takes, how many places are left and the reward. The reward shown when you reserve is the amount you earn for that task, even if the task changes later.
Once you reserve, your reservation expiry is shown before you start recording, so you know how long you have. You can cancel before you submit if the task turns out not to suit you.
Recording without getting rejected
Most rejected clips miss something the brief asked for: the wrong length, a shaky frame, the object half out of shot, or a second person in view. Read the brief once before you pick up the phone and once more before you upload.
Only submit media you own and are authorized to share. Keep identifiable bystanders, private information such as letters and screens, and other people's property out of frame unless you have their permission. You can preview your clip before uploading, which is the cheapest moment to catch a problem.
Getting the shot right
Light does most of the work. Film near a window in daytime, or under a bright ceiling light, and avoid pointing the camera toward the light source. Wipe the lens first; a thumbprint softens every frame.
Hold the phone with both hands, or rest your elbows on the table, and move slowly. A plain background makes the subject easy to see. Before you stop recording, count through the length the brief asks for, so the clip does not come out a second short.
Review and payment
Every clip is reviewed by a person before it earns. When your upload arrives you get an email confirming it, and review usually takes under 24 hours. The decision is emailed to you and shown in My work.
Accepted clips are paid through Stripe to the bank account you verify with them. You set up payouts once from Earnings, then each accepted clip is paid after review. Once a payment is sent, it usually reaches your bank within a few business days. If a clip is rejected you see the reason, and you can record a new one while the task is still open.
How to start
Sign in with your email address. There is no password: GoKuna sends you a sign-in link. Before your first task you confirm you are 18 or older, enter your country and agree to only submit media you are authorized to share.
Open collections, their requirements and their rewards are shown once you are signed in. Pick one that fits your phone and your space, reserve it, record, preview and upload. Everything happens in your phone's browser.
Do I need special equipment to record AI training videos?
For most tasks, a phone is enough. First-person tasks ask for a phone or action camera mounted at head or chest height, and the capture instructions say where the camera goes.
Can I show my face or other people?
Follow the brief. As a rule, keep identifiable bystanders and private information out of frame unless you have permission, and only submit media you are authorized to share.
How much does a video task pay?
Each task states its reward before you reserve it. Current kinds of work pay per accepted clip, per accepted hour or per session. Earnings are not guaranteed, and a practice task is not paid out.
Who uses the videos?
Accepted recordings are used to train and evaluate machine learning models, including on behalf of GoKuna's customers. You keep ownership of what you record and grant a licence for that use.
