What it is

Welo Data is a network of vetted contributors who train and evaluate AI. Projects include search relevance, multilingual annotation, content quality review, AI safety evaluation, and audio and video annotation. It describes a network of more than 500,000 experts.

What it pays

Contributors are paid for completed tasks and project work. Welo says rates vary with task complexity and project volume, and you can track earnings and pay rates in a dashboard. We only quote pay from listings we've checked, so each listing shows its own rate.

How to get in

Welo lists six steps:

  1. Apply for a role that matches your skills.
  2. Create a Welo Works account.
  3. Complete a language and cultural assessment.
  4. Use its learning resources.
  5. Pass a task-related exam.
  6. Submit your payment details.

You need a computer, stable internet and a modern browser.

The catch

  • There are several steps before any paid work.
  • Real messages come only from @welocalize.com, @weloglobal.com, @hire.lever.co or @welodata.ai addresses. Ignore anything else.
