Shift

Pays individual workers up to $20/hr to record themselves doing hands-on tasks with its own headset-mounted recorder, then sells the footage as training data for AI and robotics. Workers sign up directly, gig-style, across trades like construction, food service, cleaning, agriculture and auto repair; businesses can also enroll whole teams. Claims 25,000+ workers in 15+ countries and $5M+ paid out in 2026. In NYC it offered free apartment cleanings in exchange for the recorded footage.
