We collect and provide video training data for AI models to learn from.

Perit is a training-data company. Everything is recorded by the people who actually do the job, labelled by our own team, and licensed to you — including embodied data for robotics.

QA-sample accuracy, checked against WER

Speech is our biggest line of work — 9 locales, audio delivered every working day, and a quality report with every batch. The same team, the same checks and the same reporting run our video, image and text work.

Transcription
3,000+ hours250 transcribers

50 on fixed-term contracts, the rest freelance — and hiring against every open sector.

Word alignment
1,000+ hours400 aligners

Freelance bench, timestamped to the word so a model can be scored on when it heard something, not just what.

How buying works

Four steps, and the first one is a phone call.

No dataset catalogue to guess from. You describe the failure; we scope, pilot and deliver against it, with the contributor rate on the quote.

    Tell us the failure

    Not the dataset — the input your model gets wrong. A clip, a photo, a paragraph is enough to start.

  2. 0248 hours
    Written spec and quote

    Quantity, locales, devices, conditions, annotation depth — and the contributor rate you will be paying, stated as its own line.

  3. 031–2 weeks
    Pilot batch

    Five percent of the volume, or ten to thirty episodes for embodied data, delivered first with a quality report. If the spec was wrong, the re-run is on us.

  4. 04ongoing
    Weekly delivery

    Drops into your bucket in the region you chose, with the manifest, consent references and reviewer chain on every item.

Physical Intelligence

Embodied data, collected by people who do the task.

Egocentric video, depth, teleoperation and handheld-gripper demonstrations, recorded in real homes, shops and workplaces across nine locales on the same recruiting, consent and QA machinery as our speech work.

What lands in your bucket

This is a delivery, not a description of one.

Lowercase, fillers kept, one written convention for every tag, and a timestamp on every word — so accuracy and latency can be scored apart.

  • Everything lowercase, punctuation only where it changes meaning.
  • Fillers, repeats and false starts stay — they are what the model has to survive.
  • [pause], [overlap], [keyboard] and other tags follow one written convention.
  • Every word carries a start and end timestamp, so latency can be scored separately from accuracy.

Who does the work

Operators, not a crowd.

The bench is built from people who worked the floor, the ward and the claims desk — ex-contact-centre QA leads, claims handlers, ward clerks, shopkeepers. They are recruited for the sector or the locale a program needs, not pulled from a general pool.

Two crafts, one bench. Transcribers write what was actually said, fillers and all. Aligners put a start and end time on every word. A rubric author is someone who signs off on these calls at work, and every rubric has to be applicable by a stranger.

Recruited for the sector
The credential is checked at intake and attached to everything that person produces.
Tested before they are paid
A calibration set on every project, however long someone has been on the bench.
Paid per approved unit
The rate is on the listing before they start, and it is a line on your quote.
Re-checked every week
Reviewers are scored against the same gold set on a schedule, because graders drift too.
Coverage

Crews on every continent, recruited to the locale you need.

Contributors record on their own phones, in their own rooms, in the accent and the light they actually live in. Blue is where the bench runs deepest today — 9 locales across Europe, Asia and the Americas — and anything beyond it is recruited to order against a locale quota.

Record, film, photograph, write

Whatever we collect, we pay the person who made it.

Pick a task on the workspace, do it on your own device in your own space, and get paid once it passes review. The rate is on the task before you start, and it is the same rate whoever the buyer is.
