TrainThemAI

Yes — TrainThemAI is a real, operating platform. We verified its signup, payout, and policy pages directly on 2026-10-26 using 16 sources.

Treat as unproven but paying so far: a 2026-founded operator with no press, no third-party listing and internally contradictory scale claims (60 / 1,000+ / 7,000+ operators across its own pages), which since May 2026 has also contradicted its own 'Africa and Middle East excluded' statement; equipment is self-funded, out-of-spec footage earns nothing (while the recording app's terms say compensation is earned on submission) and pay is crypto-only - but first-hand Reddit accounts from September-October 2026 confirm USDT payments on the stated 5th/20th schedule, and no scam reports were found.

USD 6 per approved hour advertised on the apply page, with recruiter posts quoting $5/hr for household tasks and $6/hr commercial, company job listings spanning $3-6/hr by project and participants reporting $5.50-7.00 per approved hour; pay is per approved hour of footage, not per hour worked, and rejected clips earn nothing and cannot be appealed. Work is billed per audio/video minute, so earnings scale with volume and acceptance rates.

Via Cryptocurrency. Payout cadence: Twice monthly. Minimum payout: Not published - no minimum, fee or network-fee language exists on any public page (checked 2026-10-26); the only hint is a second-hand App Store review of the Minute app suggesting a roughly $100 threshold on that side. Pay is USDT on BEP-20 only, on the 5th and 20th, after quality control.

Minimum age 18 - the app privacy policy states the app 'is intended for contracted adults (18+) only and may not be used by children'. Latin America is the core recruiting market (recruitment across Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador and Peru; project documentation lists Argentina, Colombia, Canada, USA and Mexico) and the apply form itself accepts any of about 197 countries - but a May 2026 founder post said operators 'can be in any country in the world EXCEPT Africa or the Middle East (current client policy)', while the site now also advertises team leads across Africa and Southern Asia, so treat eligibility as per-project and confirm with the recruiter. A contributor agreement, a Google-account login and a BEP-20 USDT wallet address are required before the first payday; the privacy policy says payment and tax records are retained as 'we are legally required to keep', and recordings are delivered under pseudonymous operator IDs. No ID-document or tax-form list is published and the apply form collects none. Recent recruitment ran through the third-party Minute Data app (Baker Data LLC), whose terms name Figure AI Inc. as the counterparty for the recording programme; TrainThemAI itself never names its clients.
