About the project

We are seeking Canada-based contributors who are fluent or near-native in English to support a remote data collection project.

Participants will use their smartphones to capture high-quality photos of everyday objects, provide basic information about each item, and include a corresponding product URL where applicable. The collected images will be used to support the development and improvement of AI technologies.

This is a flexible, remote opportunity that can be completed on your own schedule.

• Take clear, high-quality smartphone photos of everyday objects.
• Capture objects across categories such as household items, electronics, clothing, food, books, toys, tools, outdoor items, signs, and other common products.
• Provide the required metadata for each image.
• Provide a valid product/reference URL for submitted objects where required.
• Follow project-specific photography and quality guidelines.
• Incorporate QA feedback and resubmit assets when corrections are needed.
• Work toward an agreed weekly delivery schedule with the project team.

Expected workload

Contributors will work with the project team to establish a weekly delivery schedule.
