# AI Trainer overview

> What AI trainers can do on OpenTrain AI — from building a profile to landing global projects.

OpenTrain AI connects you — the AI trainer, annotator, data labeler, or RLHF specialist — directly with employers worldwide who need your skills. You set your own availability, apply to projects that match your background, and get paid through the platform.

## What you can do

As an AI trainer on OpenTrain AI, you can:

* **Label and annotate data** across image, video, text, audio, document, code, and more
* **Perform RLHF tasks** — ranking, rating, and evaluating model outputs
* **Complete fine-tuning and SFT work** — prompt/response writing, function calling, red-teaming
* **Do transcription, translation, and localization review**
* **Work as a freelancer or agency** — individuals and teams of AI trainers are both welcome

The platform matches you with relevant jobs based on your skills, languages, and experience, so you spend less time searching and more time working.

## Finding work

When you open `/find-job`, the platform surfaces a **Recommended** tab powered by the job-matching engine. Recommendations are ranked based on your skills, labeling experience, languages, and location. The more complete your profile, the better your matches.

You can also use the **Search** tab to browse all open jobs with filters for software, data type, label type, experience level, budget, and project length. Save jobs you want to revisit from any tab.

## The application flow

1. Open a job listing and read the full details.
2. Click **Apply** to start your proposal.
3. If the employer has enabled AI screening, you complete a short AI interview before submitting.
4. Your proposal is sent to the employer for review.
5. If hired, a contract is created and you manage all work from the **Manage job** view in your dashboard.

## Working with agencies

If you represent a team of AI trainers, you can onboard as an agency through the agency onboarding flow. Agency accounts unlock team-level job access and subscription plans that control how many jobs your team can see and apply to.

## Getting paid

Payouts go to the bank account you connect in **Settings → Payouts**. OpenTrain uses Stripe-hosted payout setup to securely collect identity, tax, and bank details. You do not create a separate Stripe account on stripe.com.

<Note>
  Payout support varies by country. Some countries are not yet supported. See [Payments & payouts](/trainers/payments-payouts) for details.
