Paid App Usage & Data Contribution Study — US, $75–$145

Paid research study to help advance AI. Earn $75 up to $145 for ~30 minutes of your time by sharing app usage data. Your data is PII-removed, encrypted, and used ethically for reinforcement-learning research.

HOW THE PAYOUT WORKS

This bounty is posted at the maximum payout of $145. Your actual payout depends on how many of your apps pass QC:

• Exactly 5 approved apps (including 1 email/calendar + 1 social media) = $75
• Each additional approved app = +$10
• Maximum payout at 12 approved apps = $145

Each contract is funded with a refundable $15 deposit; the remainder is paid upon minimum 5 apps approved. The $15 is a deposit — NOT a guaranteed payment for 1 app. It's 5 apps minimum approved or nothing is paid.
