    The network

    Roles from the platforms that pay.

    We track the leading AI-training and expert-data platforms so you don't have to check eight sites a day.

    Our commitments

    Transparent by design.

    The AI-work space is full of scams. ExpertGrid runs on a few non-negotiable principles.

    Free for professionals — always

    Browsing and applying through ExpertGrid is free. Anyone charging a "registration fee" to find AI work is not legitimate.

    We link you direct

    You apply on the platform itself. We never sit between you and the people actually hiring.

    No inflated promises

    We don't guarantee placements or exaggerate earnings. Selection is merit-based and platform-led.

    How we make money — openly

    Some links are referral links: if you sign up and work, the platform may pay us a bonus, at no cost to you.

    Only platforms we'd recommend

    We list roles we'd point a friend to — and leave out the ones with a track record of not paying.

    Fresh, not stale

    Listings sync hourly and closed roles drop off, so you're not applying to dead links.

    Common questions

    Everything you need to know.

    Is it really free for me?+
    Yes — always. ExpertGrid never charges you to browse or apply. We're funded by referral arrangements with the platforms. Any service charging you a fee to find AI work is not legitimate.
    How does ExpertGrid make money?+
    When you sign up to a platform through one of our links and start working, that platform may pay us a referral bonus — at no cost to you. That's it. We only list roles we'd recommend regardless.
    What kind of roles are these?+
    Paid AI-training and expert work: model training, RLHF evaluation, data annotation, research, coding/STEM tasks, and domain-expert roles in fields like medicine, law and finance.
    Do I need experience or a degree?+
    Not always. Some roles are beginner-friendly (annotation); others reward deep expertise (domain-expert, coding). Roles are matched to your background, not a checklist.
    How and when do I get paid?+
    Payment terms are set by each platform and shown before you commit — usually hourly or per task, paid directly by the platform (e.g. Mercor, Alignerr, Surge).
    How is this different from going to the platforms directly?+
    You could check all eight platforms every day — or let ExpertGrid surface the best new roles in one place, refreshed hourly, and apply direct in a click.
