Microtask crowd · AI data-collector marketplace
Twine AI
Twine AI is the AI data-collection arm of Twine, a UK-based freelance marketplace, which pitches clients a network of 1,000,000+ vetted participants in 190+ countries and 160+ languages (twine.net/ai, read 6 Nov 2026). Its contributors ("AI collectors") create speech, image and video data and do annotation and model evaluation work. Workers create a free account, submit an AI collector application and are matched to projects by demographics (gender, ethnicity, location). Twine calls the collector work gig work, 'creating simple content for AI datasets', from a single task of about 10 minutes to many simple tasks over a few months (twine.net/freelance/data-collector, read 6 Nov 2026). There is no worker referral program for data collectors.
