Toloka AI is a crowdsourcing and AI training data platform originally developed by Yandex. It connects a global workforce with micro-tasks that power machine learning systems for major technology companies and research institutions.

Workers (called Tolokers) complete tasks on a task-by-task basis with no long-term commitment required. The platform uses a skill-based progression system — reliable, accurate workers gain access to higher-paying tasks over time.

Typical tasks: Image classification, object detection, audio transcription, search quality evaluation, data verification, content moderation.

Pay: Per-task pricing. Earnings vary significantly by task type and complexity. Payments are made via PayPal or Papara.
