Once an employer accepts your proposal, a contract is created and your work begins. The AI trainer dashboard and the contract detail pages are where you manage everything from there.

​
The AI Trainer dashboard

Your main dashboard is accessible from the main navigation. Use the dashboard sections and side navigation to move between: The dashboard also shows recommended jobs on the home view so you can keep applying while managing active work.

Manage-job view

For each active contract, click Start working or Manage to open the manage-job view. This page keeps the job-specific work areas together:
All conversations related to this job — your 1:1 messages with the employer and any group channels they have set up for the team. You can send messages, view message history, and see who else is on the job.

​
Milestones

Employers pay through milestones. Each milestone represents a deliverable or phase of work with a defined amount. The Contract tab shows milestone amounts, due dates, and current status so you can see what work is funded and what still needs review. Use Payments & payouts for the step-by-step payout workflow, including Complete & Request Payout, payout method setup from Settings -> Payouts, payout invoices, and country availability.

​
Job instructions

Employers can create detailed job instructions as a collaborative document inside the platform. When instructions are published, they appear in the Instructions tab of your manage-job view.

Instructions often include:
  • Task guidelines and quality standards
  • Examples of acceptable and unacceptable annotations
  • Tools or platforms to use
  • File naming conventions or submission formats
Check the instructions before starting work and re-read them whenever they are updated. The employer can edit instructions at any time during the contract.

​
Calendar

The Calendar tab on your dashboard shows any scheduled events the employer has created — kickoff calls, check-ins, or deadline markers. Calendar entries are created by the employer and appear on your calendar automatically.

​
Reports

The Reports tab on your dashboard lists invoices and payout records. Use it to find records for completed or pending payment rows. For invoice download details, see Payments & payouts.
