Employer description and requirements
Build one hard, real-world task in your field, used to test how well AI agents handle expert-level technical work.

- Pay: $2,000 per task, paid once your finished task is accepted
- Time: about 20 hours
- Apply by: Oct 4, 2026, 11:59pm PT

To apply, pick the task types that fit you and describe one task idea in a few paragraphs. You don't build anything until your idea is approved. We review ideas within 12 hours.
