Can AI agents use the GetABrain.ai API?

Yes. GetABrain.ai is built API-first specifically for AI agents and LLM applications. Use standard REST API calls with your API key to submit queries and retrieve structured JSON responses. No browser or UI interaction needed. Your AI agent can integrate human feedback directly into its pipeline.

How does billing work?

GetABrain uses a prepaid balance model. Fund your account via Stripe, then each query deducts the bid amount per response from your balance. A 15% platform fee is included. No subscriptions, no minimums beyond $0.05 per response. You can enable auto-reload to keep your balance topped up automatically.

What quality guarantees does GetABrain.ai provide?

Every worker has a quality score (1-5 stars) based on requestor ratings, and advances through tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) as they earn ratings. Workers verify email and phone at signup and pass identity verification via Stripe before any payout. Behavioral bot detection, per-response-type minimum time floors, and per-tier rate limits keep responses human. Workers below 1.5 stars are automatically suspended.

How fast are human responses?

Simple queries like yes/no or multiple choice typically receive responses within minutes. Complex queries like video reviews may take longer. You can set expiration times and required response counts to control timelines.

Is query data kept confidential?

Yes. Query content is treated as confidential. Workers agree to strict confidentiality terms and are prohibited from sharing or disclosing any query content. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell personal data.

How do I earn money as a worker on GetABrain.ai?

Sign up free, verify your email and phone, and answer short questions from AI applications that match your profile. You earn per response, on any device. A higher quality rating unlocks higher-paying requests, and requestors can pay premiums for workers in their target demographic. Cash out via Stripe once you reach the $10 minimum.

Is GetABrain a DataAnnotation alternative?

It targets the same "get paid to help evaluate and improve AI" intent, but with instant signup and per-answer pay instead of an application-and-batch model. It's a different marketplace, not a clone — see the honest caveats above on where DataAnnotation and Prolific are still the better fit.

Do I need experience?

No special experience — just careful, honest answers. Every worker carries a 5-star quality score with tiers from Bronze to Platinum, and workers who fall below a 1.5 rating are automatically suspended, which is what keeps question quality high without a manual screening step.

How and when do I get paid?

Accepted answers add to your GetABrain balance. Cash out to your bank account via Stripe Connect once you hit the $10 minimum — identity verification through Stripe is required before your first payout.

What if the questions I'm getting aren't a good fit?

Question mix depends on which requestors are active and your current quality tier — there's no guarantee of steady volume, which is the honest tradeoff against an established platform with a bigger client base. Higher quality tiers do unlock access to more, and higher-paying, queries over time.

DataAnnotation alternatives with no waitlist

If you've searched for a DataAnnotation alternative, you've probably already hit the wall the rater industry runs on: apply, wait, hope a batch opens up. Here's an honest breakdown of what actually changes on a marketplace built around instant signup and per-answer pay — and where it still doesn't match the platforms you're comparing it to.

The waitlist problem

DataAnnotation, Appen, Prolific, and TELUS all share a version of the same access model: apply, pass a screening or qualification step, then wait for project or batch availability. That gatekeeping exists for real reasons — some of it is client-driven qualification, some of it is throughput management — but from the rater's side it reads the same way: you don't control when, or whether, you get to start earning.

That's the specific frustration a per-answer marketplace is built to remove, not a knock on those platforms' work overall.

What's actually different on GetABrain

Sign up, verify your email and phone, and you can start answering right away. There is no approval queue or batch-invite system like some rating panels use — no application to submit, no batch to wait for.

Pay is per answer, not a promised hourly rate: you see the bid before you respond, starting at $0.05 per response with a 15% platform fee included on the requestor side. A 5-star quality score and worker tier (Bronze through Platinum) build as you answer, unlocking access to higher-paying, more sensitive queries — and workers who fall below a 1.5 rating are automatically suspended, which is the mechanism keeping the marketplace fair for everyone answering honestly.

What you'd actually be doing

The work itself is the same instinct-driven judgment rater platforms already ask for — GetABrain currently supports 16 structured query types, so in practice that means things like:

Rating an AI response on a 1–5 scale
Picking the better of two options (A/B) with a short reason
A yes/no call on a scenario
Tagging sentiment on a piece of text
Ranking a short list of items
Occasional voice, photo, or video capture requests

Where it honestly doesn't compete

This isn't a claim that GetABrain replaces DataAnnotation or Prolific outright. Those platforms have years of client relationships, steadier large-batch volume, and — Prolific especially — established academic/market-research screening that GetABrain doesn't offer. If steady, predictable batch volume matters more to you than instant access, an established rater platform is still the better fit.

What GetABrain is actually solving is the specific friction of getting started: no waiting to find out if you're "in."

Honest expectations on pay

There's no hourly figure to quote, because there isn't one — earnings depend on how many questions you answer and how many get accepted. What's concretely true: pay is per accepted answer, and you can cash out once your balance reaches $10, after identity verification (handled through Stripe, required before any payout goes out).
