AI training data. Made by people, proven per item.
eeko builds production AI for regulated enterprises, and the models under those systems keep running out of data nobody has published. So we source it. Custom datasets, expert annotation, and recorded real work from consenting people, with a cryptographic fingerprint, a consent record, and a signed provenance record on every item. Nothing scraped, ever.
What is AI training data?
AI training data is the body of examples a model learns from: text, images, audio, video, 3D geometry, documents, and robot episodes, each paired with the labels, rankings, or outcomes that tell the model what a good result looks like. A model's ceiling is set by those examples. Train on scraped web pages and you get the average of the web. Train on what a radiologist, a litigator, or a master electrician actually does, and the model learns something the web never wrote down.
Most training data on the market has three defects. Nobody can say where it came from. Nobody asked the people in it. And a growing share was produced by another model, so the new one inherits the old one's mistakes. For a bank, a hospital, or a law firm, each defect is a question counsel will eventually ask.
eeko's data practice exists because we hit that wall ourselves. We build enterprise AI agents and RAG systems for regulated companies, and the models behind them need examples that live in no public corpus. So we built the supply: the eeko human data network of credential-checked experts, paid capture programs for skilled workers, and a licensing catalogue for creators and companies. Every item carries a verifiable record. Every person was paid. Every licence is in writing.
Who the data practice is for.
AI teams need data. Experts and workers can make it. Owners already hold it. We vet everyone, match each brief to the right people, and keep the record that proves permission on every item.

Human-made training data, for every stage of the model.
Nine deliverables, one standard: identical intake, identical checks, identical signed delivery. The full list is under training data solutions.
Seven kinds of data, one bar for all of them.
Whatever the model perceives, the intake is identical: fingerprint, origin check, consent, review, signature, receipt.
What we source, by modality
- Speech and audio — released recordings, verbatim transcripts, phonetic labels.
- Images — camera originals with releases, origin checks, and expert captions.
- Video — first-person, instructional, and scene footage with per-frame hashes.
- 3D and CAD — scans, meshes, and drawings with units.
- Documents and records — contracts, filings, and tables, scanned and masked for personal data.
- Text, reasoning, and robotics — practitioner-written demonstrations, multilingual sets, and teleoperation streams.
From a brief to a dataset, and the next one after it.
Most vendors sell what is in stock. We start from what the model needs, go and get it, and stay on as the need changes.
What travels with every item.
Verification is not a sticker applied at the end. It is a record built step by step, from intake to receipt. An illustrative record for one audio file:
The method, layer by layer, is on the verified human data page.
Expert data annotation by people who practice the field.
Frontier models are short of judgment, not compute. We pay specialists well to supply it. See AI training experts by field.
Recorded real work from the people who do it every day.
Some capabilities cannot be written down. They have to be watched. Our capture programs pay skilled workers to record real shifts to a written protocol.
Sixteen programs, one protocol
- Skilled trades — electricians, plumbers, HVAC, and carpenters on real jobs.
- Nurses and caregivers — care tasks, recorded only with the facility's written agreement.
- Mechanics — diagnosis, repair, and the test afterward.
- Bookkeepers and office workers — screen recordings of chosen apps only, no camera.
- Cooks, warehouse workers, and twelve more.
Pay runs from $12 to $30 per accepted hour by program, kit supplied. Homeowners in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Miami can get a free home service in exchange for letting the tradesperson record the visit. The list is under get paid to train AI; the method is on the data capture page.
AI training data by industry.
The domain decides who may label the data and what consent requires. The most requested of our fourteen industries; the rest are under training data by industry.
AI training data questions.
What is AI training data?
AI training data is the body of examples a model learns from, paired with the labels, rankings, or outcomes that define a correct result: text, images, audio, video, 3D geometry, documents, or recorded robot episodes. A model cannot outgrow its examples, so what matters is who made each one, whether they agreed, whether a qualified person checked it, and whether you can prove all of that later.
How much does custom AI training data cost?
Price follows the modality, the expertise involved, the volume, the licence term, and whether you want exclusivity. Catalogue items carry the price the owner set. Commissioned work is quoted against a written spec after a scoping call, always fixed scope and fixed price, and a paid pilot batch comes first so you can judge the data on your own model before buying volume.
Is human-made training data legal to use commercially?
Everything we deliver is licensed in writing for the uses you name, with the term and exclusivity you choose. Each item is tied to a release or a licence from whoever holds the rights, and items showing identifiable people are offered only once their permission for AI training is recorded. Licence, consent reference, and item hash travel together, so permission can be shown per item, not just per dataset.
Do you annotate data we already have?
Yes. Send us text, documents, images, video, audio, 3D files, or robot episodes and we label them to your rubric. Work that needs a specialist goes to a verified one in that field, so clinical notes are labeled by clinicians and contracts by attorneys. Every label names its author, a second expert checks an agreed share, and the set comes back in your pipeline's format with a signed receipt.
How do I get paid to train AI with eeko?
Two routes. Domain experts browse the open AI training gigs, which show the field, the pay, and the time commitment before you apply, or join the expert network and get invited when matching work opens. Skilled workers in trades, care, kitchens, warehouses, and offices join a capture program and earn twelve to thirty dollars per accepted hour recording the job they already do.
Can my company sell or license its data for AI training?
Yes. List the recordings, documents, records, or media your company holds, state who owns the rights and whether the people in it consented, and set your price and licence terms. A person at eeko reviews every listing before any buyer sees it, personal data is masked before delivery, and you are paid per licence. Individual creators license their work the same way through the creator catalogue.
How quickly can you deliver a dataset?
A data lead answers every request inside one business day with the questions we need resolved and an initial sourcing plan. A written spec usually follows within days, and a pilot batch ships before any production volume. Catalogue items can ship once the licence is signed; commissioned expert work and capture projects take longer because real people have to do real work.
