Screen record every attempt
Score each run on completion, quality, control issues, satisfaction, and time
Share clear written feedback on the agent experience

Someone who already uses AI in daily life
2-3 years of experience, preferably in engineering, business management, or office/operations
Detail-oriented, great at following instructions and documenting each step
Clear written communication
Generalists welcome, domain experts preferred
No coding or AI background needed

Why you’ll like it

Get paid to use the AI tools you already use
Work entirely from your phone, on your schedule
Have a direct say in how next-generation AI agents get built and improved
