Description
AI video-generation models need huge amounts of real video footage to train on, and getting that footage ethically and at scale is its own logistics problem. RecipeBook, built by Shofo, is a self-serve platform addressing that: contributors submit video, and the platform pays an hourly rate (advertised at $3/hour at launch) for usable training data.
The site itself is a search-and-filter interface for browsing and managing submissions, with rating and ordering functionality — the interface reads like a marketplace where requesters can review, rate, and select from submitted footage. Because the site is a client-rendered web app, detailed pricing tiers and full feature documentation weren't independently verifiable beyond what the product announced at launch.
💬 Our review
The short version: this sits in the growing category of paid data-contribution platforms for AI training, where the value exchange is straightforward — your time and footage for a per-hour rate — so it's worth knowing going in whether $3/hour matches what you'd earn elsewhere before committing meaningful time.
Against a general gig/freelance platform, RecipeBook is narrower and more specific: it only wants video contributions for AI training rather than a broad range of freelance work, which could mean a lower barrier to entry but also a much smaller total earning ceiling. Since the product is new (launched via Hacker News Show HN) and pricing details beyond the headline rate aren't fully published, this is one to treat as an early-stage platform — worth checking current terms directly before contributing footage at scale.
