DataHive AI is looking for English-speaking participants in the United States and Canada to contribute natural conversations to speech AI datasets through Hive Calls.
Hive Calls is our mobile calling app for Android and iPhone. You’ll connect with a friend or family member and have everyday conversations about your interests, experiences, plans, or daily life. There are no scripts or prepared lines to read.
This is a remote, paid data contribution project with flexible participation. No previous recording or AI experience is required.
What you’ll do
Install Hive Calls and complete onboarding.
Connect with a friend or family member who also meets the eligibility requirements.
Have natural, two-way conversations in English.
Use a quiet recording environment and a stable internet connection.
Follow the project’s audio quality and participation guidelines.
Requirements
Age 18 or older.
Currently living in the United States or Canada.
Native or near-native North American English.
A +1 mobile phone number.
An Android phone or iPhone with a working microphone.
A conversation partner who meets the same requirements.
Consent from both participants to recording and the use of their audio for AI training and evaluation.
Payment
Each eligible participant receives $10 USD per hour of approved audio, calculated proportionally based on approved minutes. Both participants can receive payment for the same qualifying conversation.
Recordings are reviewed before rewards are credited. Payment is based on approved audio, rather than total time spent in the app.
Withdrawals are available through Tremendous or USDC, with a $1 minimum withdrawal.
Recording and approval
Both participants must agree to recording in the app before the conversation begins.
Approved recordings must contain a meaningful dialogue, active participation from both speakers, and clear, understandable audio.
Silence, idle time, monologues, artificial conversations, and excessive background noise do not qualify. Conversations focused on Hive Calls, DataHive, points, or earnings are also ineligible.
Referral bonus
Eligible participants can receive a one-time $5 USD bonus for each eligible friend they invite. The bonus is credited after the invited participant completes a total of 60 minutes of approved conversations across one or more calls.
Both the inviter and the invited participant must meet the referral eligibility requirements.
