Your hands know things AI has never seen.

Every model learned from the same internet, and the internet barely shows how real work gets done. Film your trade, your craft, or your routine, and get paid when it passes review.

Who it’s for

Data for the companies building AI.

Harbor is an IBM Silver Partner and an Adobe Solution Partner. Missions come from enterprise programs that need real-world data the public web doesn’t have.

01What gets recorded

Hands, tools, and every step in between.

Jewelers, cooks, mechanics, nurses, carpenters. First-person footage of skilled work is what robotics and AI labs need most, and it only comes from people who do the work.

Stock Tokens

Special Missions can add Stock Token rewards from partner pools, in companies shaping AI.

  • NVIDIA
  • IBM
  • Adobe
  • Apple
  • Tesla
  • Microsoft
  • Alphabet
  • Amazon
  • Meta
  • AMD
  • Palantir

Collect rewards come from each program’s own budget, separate from the chat reward fund. Logos show example Stock Tokens; what’s available depends on the campaign and your country. Training use needs a separate approval.

Made by people who do the work

Cooks, mechanics, gardeners, and line workers are already teaching the next generation of AI.

What you need

A phone

Any recent phone camera works for most missions. Some ask for a head or chest mount.

A real task

Work you already do: a trade, a craft, a household routine, or specialist work.

The brief

Each mission says exactly what to show. Recordings that don’t match it won’t pass review.

Your consent

You choose every mission. Faces, voices, and personal details are scrubbed, and training use needs a separate approval.

Teach the next generation of AI. Get paid for it.
