Claru
Claru is the training-data platform of Reka AI, Inc., an AI lab whose investors Claru's About page names as General Catalyst, Khosla Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners and NVIDIA. It pays contractors to record first-person phone video of everyday tasks and to label, evaluate and red-team AI output. Other companies that pay for filming chores at home, and what each one posts, are listed on RobotTraining.jobs, a job board from the same owner as this site. Anyone 18+ can create a profile; work is offered per project once your profile matches, sometimes after a short qualification.
Platform-stated
Is Claru legit?
Researched Nov 2026 · 19 sourcesMostly. Claru, the data business of Reka AI, Inc., a real NVIDIA-backed AI lab, pays approved work weekly through Trolley. But its worker program is new, it cut recording pay in September and October 2026, and recorders report unpaid work. You are paid only for approved footage, under rules Claru can change: it cut the base recording rate to $3 an hour in October 2026, recorders report approved videos sent back to review, and a Minute app ban leaves pending videos unreviewed. It pays $3-$15/hr video capture; $15-$100/hr gaming and expert evaluation (platform-stated).

Claru is the training-data business of Reka AI, Inc., an AI lab founded in 2022 and led by CEO Dani Yogatama. Reka raised $110 million at about a $1 billion valuation in July 2025, backed by NVIDIA and Snowflake, and joined forces with video-AI startup Moonvalley in June 2026. Claru's general manager told The Globe and Mail it grew out of Moonvalley's data operations. Claru says 10,000+ contributors in 100+ countries have joined.
Claru pays only approved work, every Tuesday, by bank transfer through Trolley to an account in your own name, once your balance reaches $50; money arrives 1-5 business days later. PayPal, Payoneer and Airtm are not supported, and a returned payment may cost a $10 fee. Its contract allows up to 60 days to pay.

Remote. Anyone 18+ can create a profile (its terms); each project sets its own countries. On 1 Nov 2026 video capture covered the US, Canada, six Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru) and four in Asia (India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam), gaming roles the US or the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, and the expert evaluation roles named no country; the Residential Egocentric project no longer takes Venezuela (its help center).
No Claru-specific impersonation cases turned up. Claru's real sites are claru.ai and app.claru.ai, and its free app is sold by Reka AI, Inc.; Claru pays you for approved work. ScamAdviser's automated caution score rests on signals like the young domain and hidden WHOIS owner. Job offers by text or WhatsApp that ask you to pay are scams.
What people praise
- Claru documents its pay rules in public (the Tuesday pay day, the $50 minimum, what counts as approved work, failed payments) and says each project's pay is stated before you start.
- Where a project needs a qualification, it is a quiz of about 10 minutes, scored at once, with free and unlimited retakes.
- Some App Store reviewers say they were paid on the right date, and one in Brazil wrote in October 2026 that videos stuck in review were released and the payment came quickly.
What people complain about
- Reviewers on Brazil's App Store say pay is late or never comes; one wrote in September 2026, after recording for two weeks and setting up a payout account, that no payment had arrived.
- One reviewer warns that if your account is blocked before your balance reaches the $50 payout minimum, that work is never paid.
- Claru says Minute app bans are decided by the Minute team; it cannot see the reason or reverse them, and videos pending review at that point will not be reviewed.
- Reviewers say the rules keep changing: bonuses removed, rates that change from week to week, and referral earnings zeroed.
What has gone wrong
- October 2026. From October 18 to 30, 2026, over 20 reviewers on Brazil's App Store said approved videos went back to review, often near the $50 minimum or payday, emptying their balance, and many were then rejected. Claru's help center says reviews run past 3 to 5 business days and, since October 28, that some older recordings may stay pending for further review or reconciliation.
- October 2026. Claru cut the Residential Egocentric base rate to $3.00 an hour for uploads from October 27, 2026, 4:36 PM Eastern; earlier uploads keep their rate. Boosted tasks pay extra, at rates shown only in the Claru web dashboard.
- September 2026. On September 9, 2026 Claru changed pay on its Residential Egocentric recording project, ended milestone bonuses (including for hours already recorded) and closed the project in Venezuela. App Store reviewers said the rate fell from $6 to $3.50 an hour.
Best for: People in an eligible country with an approved phone who want flexible pay for first-person video of everyday tasks, and experts open to project-based AI evaluation work. Not for: Anyone who needs steady pay or PayPal, or who is uneasy granting a permanent license to footage of their home, body and voice and getting consent from everyone on camera.
Honest catches
- Pay here is platform-stated, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.

What Claru pays
Platform-stated · as of 2026-11-01Researched rate card, platform-stated, as of 2026-11-01
From Claru's 60 role pages (claru.ai/jobs, from its sitemap) and its help center, read 1 Nov 2026. The role pages state a flat hourly rate for phone video capture by region: $15 in the US, $10 in Canada, $7 in Latin America ($6 for one household-tasks project) and $5 in Asia (India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam). Its help center's Residential Egocentric article (updated 28 Oct 2026) sets that project's base rate at $3.00 an hour for uploads from 27 Oct 2026, 4:36 PM Eastern (our 27 Oct read showed $5 from 9 Oct 2026; the article no longer states an earlier rate), with boosted tasks paying extra at rates shown in the dashboard; its pages disagree here, and the help center is the newer word. A separate Commercial/Workplace Egocentric project in the Americas pays $10 per approved recording hour (its help center article, updated 28 Oct 2026). Gaming data roles pay $15 to $50 an hour (most for the US, some also Canada, Mexico and Brazil), and expert evaluation roles $20 to $100: data labeling $20 to $35, prompt rating, math RLHF, Python code review and video review $35 to $55, and legal and physics evaluation, full-stack code evaluation, 3D and medical image labeling and LLM red teaming $55 to $100. Each matched project states its own rate before you start.
| Role | Kind of work | Researched pay |
|---|---|---|
| Egocentric phone video capture (US) | Robotics Data | $15/hr |
| LLM jailbreak red teamer | Red-Teaming | $55-$100/hr |
| Legal reasoning AI response evaluator | Domain Experts | $55-$100/hr |
| Math reasoning RLHF annotator | Math & STEM | $35-$55/hr |
| Gaming AI feedback / environment data collector | Data Annotation | $15-$50/hr |

How to get started on Claru
Researched Nov 2026Create a profile at app.claru.ai with your true country, verify your email, add your skills and payout details, join a project you are invited to or eligible for (some need a short qualification you can retake), record or annotate to the project's brief, and get paid every Tuesday by bank transfer for approved work once your balance reaches $50.
Who can join
- Be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, and able to sign a binding contract (Claru's Terms of Service).
- Live in a country the project accepts. Each project sets its own countries, your profile location decides which projects you can see, and using a VPN or a false country can get your account permanently suspended.
- For recording projects, a phone on that project's approved list. Each project names exact phone generations (Plus, Pro and Ultra variants count), and newer phones are not accepted automatically; the app blocks recording on an unsupported device.
- For head-mounted capture projects such as Residential Egocentric in Latin America, a head mount that keeps both hands in view; GoPros and action cameras are not allowed.
- A bank account in your own name that accepts international transfers. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported; if Claru's payment processor does not cover your country, you can use a US bank account in your name.
- For expert evaluation roles, real domain experience. The Legal Reasoning AI Response Evaluator role ($55-100/hr), for example, requires at least 3 years of litigation or substantive legal practice.
- The right to share everything you film: you must hold consent from every identifiable person in your footage (a parent or guardian's consent for minors) and keep records of it for at least 7 years after your last upload.
Step by step
- 1
Create your account
Sign up at app.claru.ai with your correct email address and a secure password. If you have a referral code, enter it during sign-up: it cannot be added after the account is created.
- 2
Verify your email
If you signed up with an email and password, nothing works until you click the verification link Claru emails you (accounts created with Continue with Google or Continue with Apple are verified automatically). The link expires after 24 hours; you can send a fresh one from your profile page.
- 3
Complete your profile
Under My Profile, add your true country of residence (and state if you are in the US), up to 10 skills and 10 interests, and your native language. Claru uses these details to match you to projects, your location decides which projects you can see, and your account email cannot be changed later.
- 4
Work through the Getting Started checklist
Your dashboard checklist has three steps: a five-slide tour, joining your first project, and adding your payout details. The payout step completes once your payout account is active, which is not always instant.
- 5
Find a project you can join
Depending on your country, device and other profile details, you may be invited to projects automatically; public projects are open to anyone but often need a short qualification first. If a project does not appear, the usual reasons are an ineligible country, an incomplete profile, an unsupported phone, a missing assessment or a full project.
- 6
Pass the qualification if the project has one
Activities Video and External Video Recording projects are locked until you pass: usually five multiple-choice questions and about 10 minutes, plus a short sample video for some projects. It is scored automatically, retakes are free and unlimited, and a pass keeps that project type unlocked.
- 7
Set up the recording app if the project uses one
Some video projects record in the separate Minute app. Since October 12, 2026 you sign in to Minute with the email and password shown on your Claru project page, which only the website shows. Do not create your own Minute account, and stop using the old @supply.claru.ai login: recordings sent through it after October 12 may not be reviewed or paid.
- 8
Record to the brief
For the Latin America Residential Egocentric project, recordings must be landscape, at least 2 minutes long, filmed from a head-mounted phone, show natural household activities and keep both hands visible for at least 95% of the clip. Every project's Getting Started Guide lists its own rules.
- 9
Wait for review, then get paid on Tuesday
The Minute app's guideline is 3 to 5 business days for a review, but Claru said on October 21, 2026 that reviews are taking longer and it cannot give a date for any one video. Videos are not reviewed in order, and only approved videos are paid: those approved before each week's cutoff are paid that Tuesday, later approvals the next week.
Claru project qualification (some project types only)
Claru has no single entry test. Some projects, currently Activities Video and External Video Recording, are locked until you pass a short qualification. For some, your quiz answers decide the result; for others, such as Activities Video, the quiz is optional and an automated quality check of your sample video decides. Other projects are open on invitation or once you meet their requirements, and every recording you submit is then reviewed before it is paid.
Format
A short multiple-choice quiz, usually five questions answered one at a time, taking about 10 minutes, plus a short sample video recorded in the Claru app for some project types. Scored automatically the moment you submit; sample videos take a few minutes and come back with written feedback if they need changes. Retakes are free and unlimited, and a pass keeps that project type unlocked unless Claru revokes it.
How to prepare
- Open the project's Instructions (the button in the assessment dialog) and read the brief before you start the quiz.
- Check the project's Phone Requirements card first: an unsupported phone is a hard block, and newer models are only accepted if listed.
- Record the sample video exactly as the on-screen rules say: steady, well lit, unobstructed, with your hands visible while you handle objects.
- Film natural, purposeful activity rather than staged movements, and avoid long idle stretches or the same motion over and over.
- Read any written feedback on a failed sample, fix that one thing and upload again; retakes cost nothing.
Why people get rejected
- Poor lighting, blurry footage, a blocked camera or too much shaking.
- Hands not visible while interacting with objects.
- Staged or unnatural behavior, long periods of inactivity or excessive repetitive movement.
- Recording while seated when the task requires movement, or filming people without the required permission or consent.
- Using a chest mount instead of the required head mount, or recording upside-down or vertical video, which can get your Minute account disabled.
- Using a VPN or recording from a country the project does not accept, which can lead to a permanent suspension.
Claru publishes no time from sign-up to a first project, and a profile does not guarantee a match. Once you record, the Minute app's guideline is 3 to 5 business days for a review, but on October 21, 2026 Claru said reviews are taking longer and it cannot give a date for a specific video. It asks you not to contact support until a video has been Pending for 10 days. Approved videos are paid in the next Tuesday cycle after the weekly cutoff.
Claru pays only for approved work, every Tuesday and automatically (there is no manual withdrawal), by bank transfer handled by Trolley to an account in your own name that accepts international payments. You need at least $50 in approved earnings; a smaller balance rolls over to the next week. Money usually arrives 1-5 business days after processing, first payments can take longer, and a returned payment may cost a $10 reprocessing fee. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported, and Claru cannot pay through Airtm.
Tips to get accepted
- Enter your full name, tax ID (the CPF in Brazil) and date of birth exactly as they should appear, make sure your full name matches your bank account, and use an account that can receive international payments. Digital wallets such as Mercado Pago or Wise may reject Claru's transfers, so a traditional bank account is safer.
- Never use a VPN or pick a country you do not live in. Claru says false location information or bypassing location rules may get your account permanently suspended.
- Record only under the Claru account and organization shown on your project page. If you recorded under the wrong Minute account and have fewer than 5 approved hours, Claru cannot transfer those recordings.
- Do not delete and recreate your Minute profile if videos seem stuck: it breaks the link to videos pending review, and they stop moving for good.
- On classification tasks, open a task only when you can finish it: it is reclaimed about an hour after you open it. Reject a defective item (paid) rather than Skip it (unpaid, and the pay on that item is forfeited).
- Check the rate on the project page before you record. Pay changes: the Residential Egocentric base rate is $3.00/hour for uploads from October 27, 2026 (4:36 PM Eastern; earlier uploads keep their rate), boosted tasks pay extra at rates shown in the Claru web dashboard, and milestone bonuses ended on September 9, 2026.
- On the Residential Egocentric project the old 25-hour limit per task is gone, but some high-volume tasks (kitchen cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, tidying rooms, laundry) have per-person quotas Claru does not publish; a task leaves your library when you reach its quota.
What isn't public
- Claru does not publish how profiles are matched to projects, how long a match takes, or how many applicants get work. Its own FAQ says a profile does not guarantee a match, a start date, an amount of work or payment.
- Its own pages disagree on how you are paid. Its video-capture job pages (posted May 2026, read 1 November 2026) say US recorders are paid by ACH every two weeks, Canadian recorders by wire or Wise, and Latin American and Asian recorders by Wise or Payoneer, while its help center says payments run every Tuesday through Trolley and that PayPal and Payoneer are not supported. This guide follows the help center. Its contract also allows up to 60 days after acceptance to pay.
- Rates differ between its pages. Job pages list $15/hr for US capture, $10 for Canada, $6-$7 for Latin America and $5 for Asia, but the help center set the Residential Egocentric base rate at $3.00/hr for uploads from October 27, 2026, and the commercial workplace project pays $10 per approved hour. Each project's page is the only reliable rate.
- Screening for expert evaluation roles (math, legal, coding, red teaming) is not documented. The job pages give requirements and hourly ranges, but the help center covers recording, classification and review tasks, not how experts are vetted.
- Bans on the Minute recording app are decided by the Minute team. Claru says it cannot see the reason, cannot ask for a review and cannot restore access, and it does not publish who runs Minute or how to appeal.
- Worker feedback comes mostly from app stores: claru.ai had no Trustpilot profile on 1 November 2026 (its address there returns not found), the Google Play listing would not load for a plain read, and the reviews we could read are on Apple's App Store (Brazil's review feed held 50 on 1 November 2026, from 19 September to 30 October).
- From October 18 to 30, 2026, over 20 Brazil App Store reviewers said videos already marked approved were sent back to review and their balance emptied, often near the $50 minimum or payday. Claru's help center does not address this directly: it says reviews are running longer than usual and, since October 28, that some older recordings may stay pending for further review or reconciliation.

Frequently asked questions
Is Claru legit?
Mostly. Claru, the data business of Reka AI, Inc., a real NVIDIA-backed AI lab, pays approved work weekly through Trolley. But its worker program is new, it cut recording pay in September and October 2026, and recorders report unpaid work. You are paid only for approved footage, under rules Claru can change: it cut the base recording rate to $3 an hour in October 2026, recorders report approved videos sent back to review, and a Minute app ban leaves pending videos unreviewed.
Is Claru a scam?
No. Claru is a real company. No Claru-specific impersonation cases turned up. Claru's real sites are claru.ai and app.claru.ai, and its free app is sold by Reka AI, Inc.; Claru pays you for approved work. ScamAdviser's automated caution score rests on signals like the young domain and hidden WHOIS owner. Job offers by text or WhatsApp that ask you to pay are scams.
Does Claru pay?
Yes. The data business of Reka AI, Inc., a real AI lab ($110M raised in 2025, merged with Moonvalley in June 2026). Its worker program is new: app reviewers report rate cuts in September and October 2026 (the Residential Egocentric base rate fell to $3/hr on 27 Oct) and, in Brazil from 18 to 30 Oct, approved videos sent back to review near payday and then rejected (App Store reviews, read 1 Nov 2026), so its payment record is still forming. Payouts: Every Tuesday, automatically, for approved work only, by bank transfer through Trolley to an account in your own name that accepts international payments, once approved earnings reach $50 (a smaller balance rolls over); money usually arrives 1 to 5 business days later, and a returned payment may cost a $10 reprocessing fee. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported (its help center's payment articles, read 1 Nov 2026). Its annotator agreement allows up to 60 days from acceptance. Claru pays only for approved work, every Tuesday and automatically (there is no manual withdrawal), by bank transfer handled by Trolley to an account in your own name that accepts international payments. You need at least $50 in approved earnings; a smaller balance rolls over to the next week. Money usually arrives 1-5 business days after processing, first payments can take longer, and a returned payment may cost a $10 reprocessing fee. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported, and Claru cannot pay through Airtm.
How much does Claru pay?
$3-$15/hr video capture; $15-$100/hr gaming and expert evaluation. From Claru's 60 role pages (claru.ai/jobs, from its sitemap) and its help center, read 1 Nov 2026. The role pages state a flat hourly rate for phone video capture by region: $15 in the US, $10 in Canada, $7 in Latin America ($6 for one household-tasks project) and $5 in Asia (India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam). Its help center's Residential Egocentric article (updated 28 Oct 2026) sets that project's base rate at $3.00 an hour for uploads from 27 Oct 2026, 4:36 PM Eastern (our 27 Oct read showed $5 from 9 Oct 2026; the article no longer states an earlier rate), with boosted tasks paying extra at rates shown in the dashboard; its pages disagree here, and the help center is the newer word. A separate Commercial/Workplace Egocentric project in the Americas pays $10 per approved recording hour (its help center article, updated 28 Oct 2026). Gaming data roles pay $15 to $50 an hour (most for the US, some also Canada, Mexico and Brazil), and expert evaluation roles $20 to $100: data labeling $20 to $35, prompt rating, math RLHF, Python code review and video review $35 to $55, and legal and physics evaluation, full-stack code evaluation, 3D and medical image labeling and LLM red teaming $55 to $100. Each matched project states its own rate before you start.
Is Claru worth it?
Claru pays $3-$15/hr video capture; $15-$100/hr gaming and expert evaluation (platform-stated). It rewards credentialed experts who clear its assessment far more than open generalist work. Worker sentiment: App Store (US) 4.4/5 (28 ratings) · App Store (Brazil) 3.8/5 (308 ratings).
How does Claru pay out?
Every Tuesday, automatically, for approved work only, by bank transfer through Trolley to an account in your own name that accepts international payments, once approved earnings reach $50 (a smaller balance rolls over); money usually arrives 1 to 5 business days later, and a returned payment may cost a $10 reprocessing fee. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported (its help center's payment articles, read 1 Nov 2026). Its annotator agreement allows up to 60 days from acceptance.
Where can you work for Claru?
Remote. Anyone 18+ can create a profile (its terms); each project sets its own countries. On 1 Nov 2026 video capture covered the US, Canada, six Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru) and four in Asia (India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam), gaming roles the US or the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, and the expert evaluation roles named no country; the Residential Egocentric project no longer takes Venezuela (its help center).
How do I get accepted on Claru?
Create a profile, then join projects you qualify for. Depending on your country, phone and other profile details, Claru may invite you to projects automatically; public projects are open to anyone but often need a short qualification first. You must meet every requirement a project lists, or your work may not be approved for payment.
Does Claru have an assessment?
Only some projects do. Activities Video and External Video Recording projects need a short qualification: usually five multiple-choice questions, about 10 minutes, and for some a sample video. It is scored automatically and you can retake it free as many times as you need.
How and when does Claru pay?
Every Tuesday, by bank transfer through Trolley, for work approved before that week's cutoff, once your approved balance is at least $50. Money usually arrives 1-5 business days later. PayPal and Payoneer are not supported.
Which phones does Claru accept?
Each recording project has its own list of accepted phone generations, shown in the Phone Requirements card on the project page. Plus, Pro and Ultra variants of a listed phone count, but a newer phone is not accepted unless it is listed, and the app blocks recording on an unsupported device.
Why was my Claru video rejected?
Common reasons are poor lighting or blur, a blocked or shaky camera, hands not visible, staged behavior, long idle stretches, repetitive movement, sitting when the task needs movement, or filming without the required consent. Three quality or compliance strikes may get you removed from a project or your recording access disabled.
What happens to my money if my account is disabled?
If you lose access to the Minute recording app but your Claru account is still active, the balance you already earned stays yours and is paid once it reaches the $50 minimum. Videos still pending review when Minute disabled the account will not be reviewed.
