> Listed hourly rates range from about $1.80 for home assignments to $5.40 for workplace tasks, while workers describe varying monthly earnings.

Workers in Brazil are recording household and workplace tasks for platforms gathering training footage for AI and robotics, with some claiming up to $1,000 a month while buyers and end uses remain undisclosed.

Participants secure their own smartphones in head or chest mounts to film chores such as washing dishes, sweeping and cooking. Commercial assignments include hotel-room cleaning, plumbing or air-conditioner repairs, event setup and farm work. Platforms pay by recording hour, and listed workplace rates are higher than many home-task rates.

Flambra lists home assignments at about $2.30 an hour and workplace jobs at roughly $5.40. Hub Data lists about $1.80 an hour for tasks such as feeding animals or walking dogs, and around $4.50 for commercial jobs including hotel cleaning and plumbing.

The monthly earnings figures come from workers' accounts. A 33-year-old craft worker in Praia Grande said she received about $363 in September for dishwashing and cleaning videos, with part of the total coming from referral commissions. A 29-year-old agricultural worker in Minas Gerais reported about $544 for September and said assignments involving tools, garages or farm work paid more than common tasks. She said she cut back on coffee harvesting to care for her two children and recorded before they were awake.

The craft worker said she did not know which companies would receive the recordings, what kinds of robots they might train or how much they would cost. A 27-year-old designer in Santo André said hourly offers rise when buyers seek more footage and fall as more people contribute or companies collect enough data. She said she had no contract guaranteeing steady work and was not ready to leave her design job.

Participants must be at least 18 and use their own accounts. A video must clear review before payment, and recording rules prohibit showing family members' faces, identification documents, computer screens or license plates. Hundreds of users complained that one platform blocked accounts or made withdrawals difficult.
