You don't need years of experience for every remote role. Some AI training work pays for everyday knowledge, care and good English: reading how an AI answers customers, labelling videos accurately, or using design and office tools you already know.
Roles that suit students
- Food Delivery AI Response Evaluator ($10 to 30/hr): judge how an AI answers delivery customers about late orders, wrong items and refunds. Open in many countries, including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
- Video Annotation ($15 to 25/hr): review and label video content by following written guidelines. Good for careful, detail-minded people.
- 2D Graphic Design (GIMP) ($21 to 70/hr): if you already design posters or edit photos.
- Marketing Specialist (Microsoft Office) ($25 to 40/hr): if you work comfortably in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Every role is on the main page with its country rules. Use the “Is this for me?” quiz there to see which fit you.
Fitting it around your studies
- Much of this work is flexible: you choose when to work, so it can fit around lectures and exams.
- Some projects ask for a minimum number of tasks or hours each week. Check before you commit.
- No laptop? A campus computer lab or a borrowed laptop is enough for the interview.
Before you apply
