The data behind better AI

Everyday human activity becomes training data.

Models learn from what they are shown. Kernel collects what the internet doesn’t have: ordinary people doing ordinary things, recorded on purpose and with consent.

  • Egocentric video

    First-person recordings of everyday tasks: cooking, assembling, repairing.

  • Speech

    Read and spontaneous speech across accents, ages and rooms.

  • Images

    Objects and scenes as they actually appear in people's homes.

  • Documents

    Receipts, forms and letters in the formats the world really uses.

  • Computer interactions

    Screen recordings of people completing real tasks in real software.

  • Spatial data

    Walkthroughs and multi-angle captures of rooms and objects.

  • Human preferences

    Comparisons and ratings that tell a model what good looks like.

  • Need something that isn’t here?

From one contribution to a better model.

Every sample in a Kernel dataset can be traced to a consented contribution, the checks it passed, and the person who reviewed it.

  1. Contribute

    Pick a mission. Capture, upload, label or evaluate from your phone or laptop.

  2. Kernel verifies

    Automated checks, then human review. Every file is hashed, every decision recorded.

  3. Datasets are created

    Accepted work is assembled into versioned datasets with full provenance.

  4. AI gets better

    Labs train and evaluate on data that reflects how people really live and work.

  5. You earn

    The reward is shown before you start and paid when your work is accepted.
