Capture program for manufacturing

Get paid to train AI: $15 per accepted hour to record your work on the line.

Assemblers, machine operators, machinists and inspectors wear a small camera through a normal shift. HUMXN pays $15 for every hour of footage that passes review, and the footage teaches industrial robots the precise, two-handed work that's still done by people.

  • $15 per hour of accepted footage, on top of what the job already pays you
  • You record on your own phone or camera while you do your normal work; nothing is staged
  • Your first recorded hour is paid whether or not it passes review

The money

$15 per accepted hour, on top of the job.

You're not being hired to do anything new, and this isn't a wage. You're paid for recordings of work you were doing anyway, when they pass review.

$15 per accepted hour

Counted on the length of footage that passes review, not on the hours you worked. Plan on 70% to 85% of what you record being accepted: record ten hours in a week, get eight accepted, and that's $120.

On top of your pay

You're still paid for the job exactly as you are now. The capture payment is extra, for the recording. It is not a wage and it doesn't replace one.

Paid through Stripe

Approved recordings are credited to your balance and paid out automatically. Every upload is itemized so you can see what was accepted and why.

Use what you have

You record on your own phone or action camera, worn on a chest or head mount. We show you how to set it up; we don't supply equipment.

Your first hour is paid, whatever happens.

Record a genuine first hour after onboarding and we pay it even if it doesn't pass review, then tell you exactly what to change.

Who we're looking for

Precise work, done by hand.

Robots have welded car bodies for decades. Routing a cable, seating a connector or feeling when a part is right is another matter. Every unit you build shows a machine how two hands work together.

01Assembly

Fitting, fastening and torquing parts, sub-assemblies, snap fits, adhesives and seals.

02Electronics

Board handling, connectors and cable routing, soldering and rework, final assembly and test.

03Machine tending

Loading and unloading machines, changeovers, clearing jams, setting and adjusting.

04Machining

Fixturing and setup, tool changes, measuring, deburring and finishing.

05Packaging lines

Feeding lines, cartoning, labelling, case packing and palletizing.

06Inspection and maintenance

Visual and gauge inspection, sorting rejects, routine maintenance and repairs.

How it works

From sign-up to first payout.

Nothing is recorded until you've been onboarded and recording has been agreed by your employer.

Start with step one

01Apply in two minutes

What you do, where you work and a few sentences about a typical day. No résumé, no interview.

02A short onboarding call

We walk through the camera, what to record, what to skip, and how consent works with your employer.

03Record your normal day

Clip your camera on and do the job the way you always do. Pause whenever you need to. Upload when you're done.

04Review and payout

A person reviews each upload within a few days. Accepted hours are credited at $15 and paid out through Stripe.

What counts

What makes an hour accepted.

Four things decide whether an hour is paid. We tell you per upload what passed and what didn't, so you learn fast.

01It shows real work

Hands, tools and the thing being worked on, from your point of view. Travel, breaks and paperwork don't count, and we show you how to pause.

02It's watchable

In focus, lit well enough to see what you're doing, with the camera positioned the way we show you on the onboarding call.

03Everyone involved agreed

Recording has been agreed in writing by your employer. We give you the consent form and handle the rest.

04It's new

Each job is paid once. Re-uploading the same footage, or recording the same simple task over and over, isn't accepted.

Privacy and consent

What gets recorded, and what doesn't.

The data we're collecting is about skilled work, not about you or the people around you. Here's how we keep it that way.

01

The work is the subject

The camera points where you're looking: your hands, your tools and what you're working on. The footage is used to teach AI and robots how skilled people work.

02

People and details are removed

Faces, names, mail, screens, licence plates and anything else identifying that ends up in frame is blurred or cut before footage is shared.

03

You control the camera

Pause for a conversation, a break, a phone call or anything you don't want captured. Unrecorded time simply isn't counted.

04

Named buyers, under licence

Footage goes to approved AI and robotics organizations under a written licence, with consent records attached. It is never posted publicly or sold on an open marketplace.

Questions

AI training jobs for factory and assembly workers: asked often.

How much can I actually make?

$15 for every hour of footage that passes review, on top of what the job already pays you. That is per accepted hour, not per hour worked: breaks and travel aren't recorded, and reviewers in this field typically turn down 15% to 30% of what's uploaded. A realistic week: record ten hours, get eight accepted, earn $120. Recording thirty hours a week with the same acceptance rate is about $360. There's no cap and no minimum.

Is this an hourly wage?

No, and we don't want anyone to read it as one. You keep your job and your normal pay. HUMXN pays separately for recordings that pass review, at $15 per accepted hour. Time you don't record, and recordings that don't pass, aren't paid, apart from your first hour.

What if my first upload doesn't pass?

Your first recorded hour is paid at the full rate whether or not it passes review, as long as it's a genuine attempt at your normal work after onboarding. We then tell you exactly what to change, which is usually camera position, lighting or when to pause. After that, pay follows what's accepted.

What does “accepted” mean?

Footage that a person on our team has reviewed and found usable: it shows real work from your point of view, it's in focus and lit well enough to follow, everyone involved agreed to recording, and it isn't a repeat of something you already uploaded. We tell you per upload what was accepted and, if something wasn't, why, so your acceptance rate goes up fast.

What do I record with?

Your own phone or action camera, worn on a chest or head mount so your hands are free. We don't supply equipment. Tell us what you have in the form and we'll confirm whether it works before you record anything.

Does my plant have to agree?

Yes. Nothing is recorded in a plant until the company has agreed in writing. We sign up the site, not the individual, so you don't have to ask a supervisor yourself. If you'd like us to approach your employer, say so in the form.

What about proprietary products and processes?

The plant decides what can be recorded. Product lines, cells or customers can be excluded entirely, drawings, screens and labels in frame are blurred, and footage can be limited to a restricted licence that the company approves. Buyers are paying for how hands do the work, not for what you make.

Who sees the footage, and what are they used for?

It's used to train and evaluate AI and robotics systems: teaching machines how an experienced person sizes up a task, chooses a tool and knows when the job is done. It's delivered to approved organizations under licence, with your consent records attached, and identifying details are removed first. Read how we verify every item on our verification page.

Why does this program pay a different rate from the others?

Rates follow how hard the recordings are to get and what AI teams pay for them. Everyday tasks that many people can record pay less per hour; skilled, licensed or clinical work that few people can record pays more. Every program's rate is on our get paid to train AI page. These are launch rates: yours is confirmed in writing before you record, and a later change never applies to hours already accepted.

Which roles and places are you taking?

Today: Assembly line, Electronics assembly, Machine operator, CNC & machining, Packaging line, Quality inspection, Maintenance tech, anywhere in the United States. If yours isn't listed, apply anyway; we add more as buyers ask for them, and we'll tell you honestly if we can't use yours yet. This program is for manufacturing and assembly work. Other kinds of work have their own programs, all listed on our get paid to train AI page.

Is there a contract or a minimum?

You sign a simple participation agreement that covers consent and pay. There's no exclusivity and no minimum. Record as much or as little as you like, and stop whenever you want.

Run a plant? Put a whole line on the program.

Sites join as a group: workers are paid for every accepted hour they record, and we agree exclusions, licence terms and recording rules with your team before anything is filmed.
