xAI is the one large employer that hires under the title AI Tutor: 32 open roles on 3 October 2026, mostly language audio work at $35–45 an hour in the US, with specialist roles up to $100. This guide covers the roles and terms, the 2025 layoff of generalist tutors, and the same work at other platforms under other names.
Multimango is not a company you apply to. It is a web tool where contractors rate and annotate AI outputs, and its terms say you are engaged and paid by a separate administrator: in practice the vendor you already work through, such as Outlier, TELUS Digital, RWS, Mercor or CrowdGen. Here is what its terms say, how people get access, and what changed in 2026.
Outlier is a real platform operated by Scale AI through a subsidiary called Smart Ecosystem Inc., and it pays weekly through PayPal, Airtm or ACH. Its degree rule, unpaid onboarding and uneven task supply are what catch people out. Here is what Outlier publishes about itself, what happened at Scale AI in 2025, and what contributors say.
AI training platforms pay through Stripe, Wise, PayPal and a few others, and each of those services has its own list of countries it serves. Which platform on this site pays through what, and where each payout service says it is unavailable or limited, from the services' own pages.
The category is real: Scale AI, Labelbox and Handshake all run one, and micro1 publishes peer-reviewed research on its own interviewer. That is exactly why the imitations work. Here is what a genuine platform does, the things that feel wrong but are normal, and the signals that mean stop, drawn from what the five platforms on this board actually publish.
"AI training" covers three different jobs: labeling data, judging what a model produced, and doing your own professional work so a model can learn from it. They pay differently, screen differently, and want different people. Here is what separates them, and which one the listings on this board are actually offering.
Every listing shows its pay and who it is open to.
