What the work is

We’re looking for US or Canada-based generalist experts to help train and evaluate frontier AI models. In this role, you’ll review and assess a wide range of everyday professional content — documents, slides, spreadsheets, and other written materials — judging them for quality, accuracy, clarity, and completeness. Your feedback directly shapes how AI systems reason about and produce real-world work product.

This is a great fit if you’re a sharp, detail-oriented generalist who’s comfortable moving across different formats and subject areas. You don’t need deep specialization in any one field — strong judgment, careful reading, and clear written reasoning matter most.

What you’ll do

  • Review and evaluate documents, slides, spreadsheets, and similar materials for quality and correctness

  • Provide clear, well-reasoned written feedback and ratings

  • Compare and rank AI-generated outputs against defined criteria

  • Flag errors, inconsistencies, and gaps in reasoning or formatting

What we’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree (minimum requirement)

  • Based in the United States or Canada

  • Excellent reading comprehension and written communication in English

  • Strong attention to detail and sound judgment across varied subject matter

  • Comfort working independently across common productivity tools (docs, slides, sheets)

No prior AI or machine-learning experience is required — we’ll provide the guidelines and context you need to succeed.
