A better way to work on Outlier: Marketplace + your new dashboard

We’ve been making some big updates to how you find, manage, and track your work on Outlier — and we’re thrilled to share what’s new. These improvements come straight from your feedback and reflect our shared goal: building a platform that’s transparent, reliable, and human-centered.

Built from your feedback

We know the last few months have brought a lot of change. Through it all, contributors have continued to show up, offer insight, and help shape the direction of Outlier. You’re the heart of this work, and every update begins with listening to you.

These new improvements are designed to make participation smoother, communication clearer, and opportunities more consistent.

Marketplace: More access, more control

Marketplace is now available to more contributors than ever. It’s your central hub for exploring open projects, managing what you’re working on, and opting out of what’s not a fit, all in one place.

Here’s what you can do on Marketplace:

• Browse open projects that match your skills and interests

• Even easier opt-out: You now have even more flexibility to leave a project directly from Marketplace if it’s not the right fit

• Get matched automatically: When new projects open, we’ll continue matching you based on your experience

Together, these features make it easier to find work you enjoy and manage your workload on your own terms.

If you don’t see Marketplace in your dashboard yet, don’t worry. We’re expanding access in stages to make sure everything runs smoothly for everyone. 

A dashboard designed for clarity

Alongside our Marketplace updates, we’ve also refreshed your Outlier dashboard. This redesign focuses on simplicity, performance, and transparency so that you can spend less time navigating and more time contributing.

Here’s what’s new:

• Simpler navigation: Quickly find your projects, metrics, and earnings

• Improved speed: Pages now load faster and respond more smoothly

• Dark mode: A new viewing option for better readability and reduced eye strain

These updates make it easier to see where you stand, track your progress, and manage your projects efficiently.

Why it matters

These updates are part of our ongoing effort to make Outlier more transparent, intuitive, and contributor-friendly. With Marketplace and the new dashboard, you now have:

• Find the projects that best fit your expertise

• Even more easily leave projects that aren’t right for you

• Track your quality metrics in real time

• Navigate your workspace with ease across desktop and mobile

Marketplace and the new dashboard are just the beginning. We’ll keep iterating, guided by your feedback, to make Outlier the best place to build the future of safe, accountable AI.

Thank you for helping us build what comes next.
