Hear from other experts
- Great for PhDs to earn extra income. I joined Outlier a few months ago and have been active there in the last two months. It is a great place for a side job, and it is possible to earn upward of 1500$ per week if you are assigned to good projects. I especially recommend it to PhD students and graduates who are looking for some extra income.

- What I like most about Outlier.ai? I can work whenever I want, late in the evening or early in the morning. When a project is done, I automatically receive other projects when available. Also, if you show high quality, you can move up the ladder from contributor to reviewer, quality control too.... Quality is appreciated and you can earn bonuses regularly depending on the project you are in.

- I view Outlier as a great opportunity for contributors to work flexibly, improve their skills, and earn more money at their own pace. Working with other contributors on Outlier makes the experience even more engaging, offering a perfect mix of collaborating and earning.

- As an engineer, I often use AI models to get the right answers, but this experience is the opposite: I need to make the models generate wrong answers. It is strange, exciting, and unforgettable.

- The result is fewer tasks returning to the queue for all contributors, higher-quality tasks being completed correctly on the first attempt, and happier contributors thanks to easy access to high-touch, technical support channels.
