Experts who want task-based AI work rather than waiting on a project match. Braintrust is a freelance talent network founded in 2018. Its AI training arm recruits experts for rating, evaluation, red teaming and code review.
| Best for | Experts who want task-based AI work rather than waiting on a project match |
| Screening | Profile, then an AI skills interview, then you browse and accept tasks |
| Payment | Weekly |
| Countries | Not published — you find out by applying |
| Reported pay | $20–$200/hr |
| The catch | The AI-training work sits inside a general freelance marketplace, so expert tasks share the site with ordinary contract listings, and the bottom of the pay band is annotation work rather than expert work. |
The apply link is a referral link, which pays this site if you are hired. It costs you nothing and does not change your rate.
