Invisible

Yes. Invisible Technologies is a real AI training company, valued at over $2 billion in 2025, and its Meridial marketplace pays contractors every two weeks for time on projects. Getting to paid work is the hard part: long unpaid tests under camera and screen monitoring, ID and address checks that stall with slow support, and many who pass report no work.

No. Invisible is a real company. No Invisible- or Meridial-specific impersonation cases turned up. Meridial's real site is meridial.ai, sign-in is at marketplace.inv.tech, support is help@meridial.ai, and Meridial says pay goes directly to you with no platform cut. Fake recruiters often start on text, WhatsApp or Telegram and later ask you to pay.

Yes. Legitimate, well-funded, major AI-lab clients; workers report getting paid. Recent reviews are mostly negative: the common complaints are unpaid tests, ID and address checks that stall, and no work after passing (Meridial's Trustpilot page, read 8 Nov 2026). Payouts: Independent contractor; paid every two weeks for time on projects (Meridial FAQ). You are paid as an independent contractor. Meridial says earnings are processed every two weeks to the account details in your profile. Pay is set per project by your experience and expertise, and every engagement shows its pay rate and expected length before you commit. Meridial says all time on projects is paid (every minute spent on a project is compensated), payments are issued directly to you with no platform cut, and you manage your own tax obligations.

$5–$65/hr; legal and engineering specialists to $200/hr.

The lowest are 23 operations and support postings (custody operations, customer support, online ordering, payroll) at $5 an hour.

Invisible pays $5–$65/hr; legal and engineering specialists to $200/hr (platform-stated). It rewards credentialed experts who clear its assessment far more than open generalist work.

Meridial describes itself as an expert contractor marketplace powered by Invisible Technologies. It connects domain experts with AI training projects, and you are not an employee of Meridial or Invisible Technologies.

Meridial does not publish its tests. Worker reports collected by aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) describe an initial skill verification, an English assessment whose level decides which projects accept you (reported to have no retake), a test for each project that can be an AI interview or recorded video answers, some proctored with camera, microphone and screen sharing, and then an ID check with a face scan and a proof-of-address check.

A third-party prep guide (updated 1 Oct 2026) describes three timed modules: Critical Thinking (about 24 minutes), Word Logic (about 7 minutes) and Abstract Reasoning (about 15 minutes), about 46 minutes in all. Its core rule: if the passage does not say it, treat it as unknown and do not use outside knowledge. For the visual sequences it suggests tracking one element at a time (shape, color, angle, number, size). It notes that which roles require the test can vary.

Meridial publishes no rejection reasons. Worker reports point to an English level below what projects require (with no retake), a skills test closed midway and stuck 'in progress', proof of address that does not match the profile or uses an ID card, and statuses that sit at 'under review' for weeks while no project needs the profile.

Meridial publishes no timeline. Worker reports collected by aitrainer.work (updated 2 Nov 2026) range from one day to several months; one US applicant heard nothing for about two months, then went from an eligibility survey to a project invite within days. A failed address check can add two weeks to two months.

Meridial's pages do not mention any joining or application fee, and they say payments are issued directly to you with no platform cut. Earnings are processed every two weeks to the account details in your profile, all time on projects is paid, each engagement shows its pay rate before you commit, and you manage your own taxes as an independent contractor.

Project postings state an hourly rate and say the exact rate is set after verifying your experience, expertise and geographic location, and that final offers may differ from the listed range. As a contractor you supply a secure computer and high-speed internet, and benefits such as health insurance and paid time off do not apply.

Invisible's contractor privacy policy (effective 2 Mar 2026) says it collects activity data such as mouse and keyboard activity levels and active session time to validate billable work, may record your full screen while you do tasks (with a visible indicator), and may use your camera during tasks to verify identity and presence, including facial geometry, eye tracking and presence detection, with the webcam mandatory where a project says so. It may also ask for selfies and images of a government ID, and a taxpayer identification number, to verify identity and process payments.
