It connects artificial intelligence laboratories like OpenAI and Anthropic with highly skilled professionals from companies such as Goldman Sachs and McKinsey. These contractors earn up to $200 per hour and provide industry expertise to train AI models. CEO Brendan Foody explained that the top 10% to 20% of contractors drive most of the model improvements and believes that all knowledge work will eventually become training data for AI agents.
