What if your eye for detail could directly shape how AI understands the visual world?

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong observational skills and a talent for descriptive writing. No photography, art, or AI background required — just a sharp eye and a commitment to quality.

  • Identify and articulate key visual elements such as objects, scenes, actions, spatial relationships, and context.
  • Follow structured guidelines to ensure consistency in description format, depth, and detail level.
  • Label and categorize visual content to support AI training workflows.
  • Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large batches of images.
  • Work independently on task-based assignments at your own pace.

  • Clear, descriptive writer who can paint a picture with words.
  • Detail-oriented and consistent, even across repetitive tasks.
