Microtask crowd · Entry-level annotation (Scale AI)
Remotasks
Remotasks is the entry-level end of AI data work: high-volume image, video, and LiDAR annotation gated by free self-serve training rather than resume screening. It is now Scale AI's contributor brand for visual and multimodal work, folded in alongside Outlier. Access is geographically volatile.
