Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.

Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.

⚠️ CRITICAL PHONE CAMERA REQUIREMENTS

To be considered for this role, you must have a smartphone that meets the following specifications. If your device does not meet these standards, your footage cannot be used, and you will not be qualified for payment:

Video Resolution: 1080p
Frame Rate: 30 FPS
Lens Setting: 0.5x or 0.6x Wide Angle lens

Project Overview

We are looking for paid participants to record videos of everyday activities while wearing a head-mounted camera. Your recordings will help robotics systems learn to perceive, understand, and interact with real-world environments.

You’ll record yourself doing tasks you already do in daily life, such as:

Folding laundry
Preparing or cooking food
Cleaning, tidying, or organizing items
Rearranging or sorting objects

Participants may or may not be assigned specific tasks, depending on project needs.

If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable performing everyday tasks, and want to earn additional income while contributing to cutting-edge robotics research, we’d love to work with you!

What to Expect

Weekly footage goal: Capture at least 10 hours of clear, intentional arm, hand, and finger movements interacting with objects (e.g., folding clothes, using a screwdriver).
Avoid low-value activities such as typing, using your phone, or sitting idle.
Uploads & quality checks: Upload videos to Google Drive on time, perform basic quality checks, and track your daily filming progress.
Compensation: Paid based on total usable footage
Unusable footage includes dark videos, clips showing only fingers (not full hands/arms), idle activities, or videos capturing personal information.
Project duration: Month-to-month, giving you flexibility

Film as much high-quality, task-specific footage as you want—earn extra income while completing everyday tasks!

Film tasks following best practices
Ensure recordings are successful before uploading to Drive
