Real-world training data, collected to your brief

You write the spec. Consenting adults record it on their phones or head-mounted cameras, and a person checks every clip against your spec before it counts. You get a quote by email before anything starts.

Who we collect for

  • Robotics and physical AI teams who need people doing real tasks in real homes.
  • ML teams who need audio, images or handwriting a public dataset does not cover.
  • Agencies and data vendors who need a collection partner for a client brief.

What we collect

  • First-person video of household tasks, filmed at head height with the hands and objects in view
  • Long-form point-of-view recording of everyday life
  • Everyday objects filmed from set angles
  • Ambient household sound
  • Handwriting samples written to your phrases
  • In-person sessions with devices such as smart glasses

What you control

  • The capture instructions
  • Video or still images
  • Minimum and maximum clip length
  • Whether audio is required
  • File formats and maximum file size
  • How many submissions you need
  • Which countries contributors can be in

Every clip is checked before it counts

A person reviews each submission against your spec.

  • A clip that misses the brief is rejected with a reason, and the contributor can record it again while the task is open.
  • Contributors are paid only for accepted work, so they are paid to follow your brief.

Consent and licence you can show your legal team

  • 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.
  • Contributors grant a licence to train and evaluate machine learning models, including on behalf of GoKuna's customers.
