Your hand skills

Why it matters
Robots learn from video.
They need real experts.
Humanoid and service robots learn hand skills from first-person footage. Lab demos are not enough – the skill sits in the hands of people who do the work every day.

Tasks
Pick a paid task for your trade.
Apply once with your trade and a signed consent. Then choose from open tasks – each with a clear brief, a camera position and the rate per hour.
- Rate per hour shown before you start
- See how many minutes are still needed
- New tasks as robotics teams order them
Record
Your phone is the camera.
Mount it on your chest or head, check the light and record the task from start to finish. A short checklist before every clip keeps the footage usable.
- Record in the app or choose a video
- 30 seconds to 20 minutes per clip
- Uploads continue after a dropped connection
Consent
Clients sign before they are filmed.
If a client's hands are in the frame, they sign on your phone first. No signature, no clip – that keeps every recording clean.
- Name and signature stored with the clip
- Faces are never part of a clip
- Clients can be left out completely
Earnings
Every clip, every minute, in one view.
Follow each clip from review to accepted. Accepted minutes are noted at the task rate; rejected clips come with a clear reason so the next one passes.
- In review, accepted or rejected with reason
- Accepted minutes and your amount at a glance
- Paid out once the first buyer has signed

Questions and answers
Who can take part?
Professionals aged 18 or over who work in nails, hair, a tattoo studio or the trades. You apply in the app with your trade and country; we unlock tasks for you.
How much do I earn?
Each task shows its rate per hour of accepted footage, for example USD 24 for gel polish removal. Accepted minutes are noted at that rate. During the pilot, amounts are paid out once the first buyer has signed.
Will my face be visible?
No. You record hands and tools only, with the phone on your chest or head. Clips with recognisable faces are rejected, and faces are blurred again before delivery.
What about my clients?
Clients are only filmed if they sign on your phone first – their hands, never their face. You can always record without a client.
Who receives the clips?
Only accepted clips, only with faces made unrecognisable, and only to companies that have signed a data licence with us for training robots and AI.
Can I stop?
Yes, at any time. You can withdraw your consent for clips not yet delivered and delete your account in the app.
