Mindrift

Mindrift is a platform operated by Toloka that recruits subject-matter experts to generate and evaluate the training data used to improve large language models. Contributors apply in their own professional field, from software engineering and medicine to law and linguistics, and complete paid projects such as writing reference answers, ranking model outputs, red-teaming responses and building reasoning traces for specific domains. The work is remote and project-based, which is why the platform posts a very large volume of freelance vacancies across many languages and specialisations at once.

About the study

Mindrift is conducting an in-person research study exploring how people communicate and interact in everyday group conversations.

We're looking for adults in the Santa Clara Valley (South Bay) area to join a paid, guided conversation session.

We welcome people from all backgrounds, with different accents and first languages. No special experience is needed. Just come as you are!

What you'll do

  • Check in on site with our coordinator, who will guide you through every step.

    Join a small group of 2-4 people for a guided conversation led by a trained moderator.

  • Talk about everyday, non-sensitive topics, such as planning a birthday celebration or making everyday decisions.
  • Take part in a session of about 75 minutes. The conversation is recorded on video and audio for research purposes.

Who we're looking for

  • 18-64 years of age
  • Living in or able to travel to Santa Clara Valley (South Bay), California.
  • Comfortable holding a conversation in English. Non-native speakers and all accents are welcome!
  • Comfortable being recorded on video and audio during the session.
  • Able to attend one in-person session on a weekday between November 2026 and March 2027.
  • Have not taken part in this study before. Each person participates once.

Students, working professionals, and people from all walks of life are welcome to apply.

No previous experience is required.

Compensation

$110 for one 75-minute session, paid through Mindrift after you complete the session. Travel costs are not covered.

Simple and transparent

Participation is voluntary and covered by a signed consent form that explains exactly what's involved, including how recordings are used and stored. You can ask questions at any point and choose to withdraw from the study.

How to apply

Register on Mindrift and complete a short screening questionnaire. If you meet the eligibility requirements, we’ll invite you to book a session at a time that works for you.

Research sessions will take place from November 2026 through March 2027.
