Questions before you apply.

You wear your phone on a light headband and do everyday tasks with your hands: folding clothes, kitchen work, tidying, simple tool tasks. The phone records what you see. These first-person recordings teach robots how human hands do real work, for Verlet Robotics.

No. The training in your portal shows you everything, and you record a practice hour before you start.

Mostly at home, at a table or in the rooms you told us about. You need good light and a little space.

Tasks are set for each day. You follow the day's list rather than picking your own.

There is no fixed shift: record when it suits you, around school, work or business. To keep your place active, record a few hours every week.

KES 175 for every hour you record, paid weekly. It is extra income on the side: an hour in the evening is KES 175, and a 3-hour weekend morning is KES 525.

Every week, straight to your M-PESA. You can see your hours and payments in the portal under Earnings.

Yes. Give us the M-PESA number and the name it is registered to when you apply, or change it on your Profile page. For your safety, changing it needs a code and we text the old number.

Recordings are checked by a quality team. Rushed, dark, or out-of-frame recordings cannot be used. Any hours still uploading or under review are paid in a later week.

Your phone needs an ultrawide camera, the "0.5x" zoom in your camera app. Most iPhones from the iPhone 11 do, but not the iPhone SE, 16e or Air. Many Android phones do too; for Android, our 1-minute checker app gives the final answer. Both are on our Phone check page.

Some Android phones are wrongly rejected. Run our phone checker app: if it shows green, tell us in your portal and we will sort it out.

Recordings upload over Wi-Fi and can then be cleared, but keep at least 10 GB free while you work.

After your training, book a day in your portal and collect it at our pickup point in Nairobi CBD. You will see the exact place when you book. Bring your original national ID or passport.

No. It is lent to you while you record with us.

Tell us which part from the portal's Help page. We print and send a replacement. Please do not glue or tape it.

Each episode should be under 5 minutes. Never longer.

Move smoothly and slowly, keep both hands in view, use bright even light, keep the camera steady, and follow the task steps.

Uploads happen over Wi-Fi in the app. Keep it open until it shows 0 pending.

We use them to review your application, onboard you, and pay you. Your name and email are shared with Verlet Robotics to create your app account. Read our privacy notice for the full details.
