AI learns from examples — and the best ones come from people who notice what others miss.
That’s what Aether is all about: a community of detail-minded, creative contributors helping train AI through short, flexible tasks.
It’s designed for curious people who want to stay active, keep learning, and earn along the way.
And right now, we’re looking for English-speaking contributors in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.
What you’ll actually do?
Each task teaches AI how to think a little more like a person. Here’s what that looks like:
Compare images. Decide which one looks more accurate — noticing color shifts, sharpness, and subtle details.
Spot differences. Find every tiny mismatch between two visuals and describe them clearly.
Write short dialogues. Watch a clip, then script both sides of a natural conversation about it.
Describe visuals. Summarize what’s happening in an image or short video — clearly and concisely.
Every detail you catch, every phrase you write, helps AI understand the difference between almost right and exactly right.
Why people love it
“The tasks are low-stress and flexible — I can start and stop whenever I want.”
“I like the variety. One day I’m spotting details, the next I’m writing short scripts.”
“It’s fun to listen to music and get some easy tasks done.”
Work when you want. Build a streak. Get paid for focus and creativity.
Your curiosity, paid
If you’re consistent, thoughtful, and take pride in the little things, you’ll thrive here.
Aether rewards care and attention to detail, the more accurate you are, the more tasks you unlock. Stay curious. Make it a habit.
