Changelog

​

Highlights this week

​

New

• Warmup practice question — AI trainers now get a short, unscored warmup question before the scored AI interview so they can settle in, check their audio, and hear what a real prompt sounds like before it counts. See AI interview.
• In-call volume control and “can’t hear” helper — The AI interview panel now includes an in-call volume slider and a “Can’t hear?” helper that walks candidates through quick audio fixes mid-interview. See AI interview.
• Resume in Stripe from payout settings — When a payout account is awaiting Stripe verification, AI trainers now see a Resume in Stripe button in payout settings to jump straight back into Stripe and finish onboarding, alongside the existing Refresh Status option. See Payouts.
• Payment-policy support auto-reply — Support questions about payment-related privacy and data handling now get an immediate, on-topic auto-reply with the right policy info instead of waiting in the queue.

​

Updates

• Find Jobs only shows currently accepted external roles — Find Jobs now filters external listings to those backed by the latest accepted job audit, so AI trainers don’t see external roles that have since been revised or pulled. See Finding jobs.
• Sharper signup terms hint — On the signup role-selection step, a clear inline hint now tells you to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before continuing, instead of a silently disabled button. The selected role is also remembered if you navigate back.

​

Fixes

• Voice interview answer detection — Endpointing no longer cuts AI trainers off mid-sentence, typical answer turns end faster, and a new inactivity backstop keeps interviews moving when transcript signals stall. See AI interview.
• Voice quality watchdog — A background voice-quality watchdog now monitors interview audio for truncated answers and other quality issues so problems get caught and addressed faster, with a recalibrated threshold to avoid false alarms.
• Voice interview preflight recovery — The mic and speaker preflight check now recovers cleanly from transient browser worker errors instead of getting stuck before the interview starts. See AI interview.

​

Highlights this week

​

Updates

• Refreshed employer Proposals tab — A cleaner layout for reviewing and comparing candidate proposals, including an updated bulk message composer. See Review proposals.

​

Highlights this week

​

New

• Stripe preview-country payout notice — AI trainers in preview-supported payout countries now see a clear in-product notice during payout setup explaining what’s available today and what’s coming. See Payout country availability.
• Employer payment settings access guard — Access to employer payment settings is now gated by stricter role checks, so only authorized teammates can view or change billing details. See Team members.

​

Updates

• Steadier AI voice interviews — Voice playback uses a deeper jitter buffer with underrun concealment and a speaker pre-check, and a new compression path reduces bandwidth for cleaner audio on slower connections. Interviews also recover better from brief reconnects without ending early. See AI interview.
• Resume autofill for data-labeling roles — Resume parsing now extracts data-labeling experience and tooling more accurately, so AI trainer profiles autofill with the right skills. See Profile setup.
• Stronger matching for specialized roles — The matcher now enforces primary evidence requirements for specialized job plans, so AI trainers see specialized roles that genuinely match their proven skills. See Finding jobs.

​

Fixes

• AI trainer profile completion — Country corrections, Brazil phone validation, state selection, skill dropdown completion, and profile overview persistence all work reliably during onboarding. See Profile setup.
• Benin country selector — Benin is now available in the account location country selector.
• AI interview reliability — Blank voice turns and stale reconnects no longer end interviews prematurely, and voice recordings upload reliably at the end of a session. See AI interview.
• Phone confirmation rate limits — Phone confirmation surfaces a clear message when SMS rate limits are hit, instead of a generic error.
• Support launcher overlap — The support help launcher no longer overlaps the message composer on smaller screens.

​

Highlights this week

​

New

• Share projects with teammates - Employers can now open Share from a job or folder header, add existing teammates who should have project access, and review the access list in Job Settings. Owners keep access, and non-owner teammates can only share projects they can already open. See Share projects with teammates.

​

Updates

• More accurate job matching for language and specialized roles — The matcher better distinguishes language-driven data tasks, professional and advisory roles, and domain-anchored requirements, so AI trainers see jobs that fit their actual skills. See Finding jobs.

​

Fixes

• AI trainer resume autofill — Resume parsing and profile autofill recover gracefully from timeouts and parser issues during onboarding. See Profile setup.
• Ended contract compensation view — Compensation details on ended contracts load reliably for authorized viewers. See Managing work.
• First milestone refund invoicing — Employer billing records now stay accurate after a first-milestone refund. See Invoicing and payouts.
• Messaging spam protection — OpenTrain blocks known scam messages before they reach job-channel inboxes. See Job channels.

​

Highlights this week

​

New

• Switch active contracts from hourly to pay-per-label — Employers can now change a live hourly contract to pay-per-label for future milestones. Existing funded milestones keep their original hourly terms. See Milestones.

​

Updates

• Find Jobs improvements — Job cards are easier to scan on desktop and mobile, with clearer descriptions, badges, and application status. See Finding jobs.
• Contract and messaging filters — Ended contracts are easier to spot and filter across contract lists, inboxes, and job messages. See Managing work.

​

Fixes

• Message edit expiry — Messages edited after the edit window now show a clear expiry notice instead of a generic error.
• Job search, profiles, and onboarding reliability — Job search, job details, employer dashboards, profiles, AI trainer onboarding, and resume autofill are more stable.
• Public job detail header — Public job detail pages now have cleaner header spacing and layout.

​

Highlights this week

​

New

• Proposal message safety screening — Proposal and bulk messages are screened for abusive content before delivery, helping keep conversations safe. See Proposal Messages.
• Agency marketplace free trial — Agencies can self-serve a 30-day free trial to access the marketplace without entering payment details up front.
• Provider invite access — Employers can invite external annotation providers directly into a job, granting scoped access to candidates and deliverables without sharing their full workspace.

​

Fixes

• AI trainer dashboard stability — The AI trainer dashboard is more reliable when contract data is temporarily unavailable.
• Public job detail — Candidates now see clearer job status before applying.
