Robots are learning to work in the real world — and the AI labs building them need one thing they can't scrape from the internet: real video of real people doing real tasks. Washing dishes. Folding laundry. Opening jars. EgoCash sends you simple filming tasks and pays you for every approved clip.
Head-height angle, hands and sink in frame, 3–4 minutes. Everyday task, filmed once, paid on approval.
Robotics labs specifically need grip and twist motions. Kitchen counter, good light, 2 minutes.
Hands-on tasks with clear steps, tools and objects are what robots need to learn. Practical, technical and craft work first; everyday chores are welcome too, at lower priority.
Fixing a bike tube or a leaking tap, assembling furniture, changing a hinge, building a wooden box — top priority for robotics labs.
Sewing a button or zipper, leather work, knitting, pottery, drawing. Every step narrated, hands and tools in frame.
Car repair, warehouse packing, soldering, barista, construction, lab work — professional hand skills labs can't get anywhere else.
3D printing, PC or router setup, playing an instrument, model building. Clear steps, visible hands.
City walks, shopping, haircut, makeup — narrate what you do and what's around you.
Cleaning, laundry, tidying, pet care are still accepted, but we approve fewer of them. Pick a technical task first if you can.
Language models ate the web. But robots can't learn dishwashing from Reddit — someone has to film real hands in real kitchens. That someone gets paid.
Against the other ways people earn from their phone.
Three steps. First payout typically the same day you start.
Sign up free, answer a few questions about your home, language and routine. Tasks matched to what you can film appear immediately.
Each task has a 30-second spec: angle, length, what's in frame. Prop your phone, do the task, upload.
Automated quality check runs in hours. Approved clips pay instantly to your balance — withdraw from a low minimum, no waiting period.
You're filming your home — we treat that with the seriousness it deserves.
Only film what you're comfortable with. Skip any task, pause anytime, no penalties, no minimums.
Each task shows exactly what the footage trains and what you're paid before you film. No surprise usage.
Tasks are designed around hands and objects, not faces or family. Anything personal in frame gets flagged for your review before submission.
I thought it was a scam until the first $5 hit my account two hours after I filmed myself making the bed. Now I prop my phone on the counter while I cook dinner anyway. Last month that habit paid my internet bill. The robots are apparently very interested in how I chop onions.
Contributors in 70+ countries. Real tasks, real payouts.
Read the 30-second spec first — my first clip got rejected for a cut-off angle. Since then: 96% approval and about $40 a week for stuff I was doing anyway.
I've done them all. Surveys pay $0.40 for 20 minutes of lying about brands. Filming my dishes pays $6 for 4 minutes of… doing my dishes.
There's a phone taped to the cabinet while I fold towels and my kids narrate like it's a nature documentary. It's paid for two family pizza nights a month.
