Our mission
Language models have run out of internet. The next dataset is the physical world.
Language models learned from text anyone could scrape. Robots need something nobody has at scale yet: structured, verified footage of skilled people doing real tasks with their hands. That data doesn't exist in a warehouse waiting to be labeled — it has to be recorded, by the people who actually know how to do the work.
Sourceify exists to make that recording worth doing. Enterprises post exactly what they need; experts — mechanics, technicians, electricians, lab staff — record themselves doing it and get paid per approved submission. No hiring pipeline, no data-labeling farm, no staged studio shoot.
Why this, why now
Every dataset era needs a new source.
Text — tapped out
Physical — next frontier
Text
Language models learned from web-scale text that already existed. That well is largely tapped.
Physical tasks
Robotics needs footage of skilled manual work that mostly doesn't exist anywhere, recorded on request.
What actually happens
From a phone on someone's head to a line in a training set.
Recorded
An expert wears a head-mounted phone and does the task exactly as they normally would — no script, no retakes for the camera.
Validated
Automated bounding-box detection confirms the right task is happening and hands stay in frame before anything reaches a human reviewer.
Structured
Video, motion telemetry, and metadata are packaged together — not a raw file dump waiting to be labeled after the fact.
Trained on
Enterprises pull approved packages straight into their training pipeline, one bounty campaign at a time.
What we believe
Pay for the work, not the résumé
The person who's replaced a hundred brake pads is the best source of data on replacing brake pads — no application, no interview, no portfolio required.
Data that reflects reality
Real hands, real tools, real mistakes and corrections — not a staged studio take. That texture is exactly what a model needs and a script can't fake.
Consent and control stay with the expert
You see the task before you record it, you're paid per submission you choose to make, and your personal information never ships with the data.
The physical world is the next frontier for robotics.
Help train it, or come collect the data you need.
