About the Role
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for consumer and lifestyle judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against. This is a standing listing for specialists in consumer categories who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week. New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What You'll Do
- We match specialists in the network to projects like:
- Writing a realistic consumer question from your own area, with the context and constraints a good answer has to respect, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model recommendations on whether they are current, practical, and safe: whether the product actually exists, whether the advice suits the budget and the setting, whether the cultural detail is right
- Flagging where a model's answer sounds confident and would embarrass someone who acted on it, given price, availability, seasonality, or local norms
- Listings in this field on Mercor have posted at $50 to $75 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
- This pool spans consumer and lifestyle categories, including:
- Sports and athletics; fitness and wellness
- Film, TV and pop culture; gaming and esports
You're a Good Fit If You
- Professional or deep practical experience in a consumer category
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
