Record paid video conversations to train AI (Workbolt)
Apply to Workbolt's American English video conversation project if you live in the US or Canada and speak fluent English. Once accepted, you're matched with another participant for 15-minute unscripted video chats on everyday topics you pick together, such as hobbies, work problems or opinions that changed over time. The recordings teach AI systems natural speech, facial expressions and conversational flow. Keep good lighting, clean audio and a distraction-free background, and follow the recording guidelines, because quality decides whether a session counts. Hours depend on how much project work is available.
