About this role
From the Claru listing
As a Kitchen Capture contributor, you record first-person video of cooking, meal prep, cleanup, and kitchen tool use in your home kitchen. The footage trains AI systems used in cooking assistants, recipe tools, and kitchen robotics.
Scenes include knife work, stovetop cooking, oven loading, dishwashing, and food storage. Each capture is one full cooking task (a single recipe or meal prep block), typically 20–60 minutes.
This is one of our most popular sub-categories — flexible scheduling, work-from-home, and the cooking you'd be doing anyway.
This variant is open to contributors based in the United States. Pay is $15/hour USD, fixed flat rate, paid via direct deposit (ACH) on a bi-weekly cadence. US contributors typically run two to four captures per week and complete the first paid batch within 7–10 days of approval.
Claru contractors are independent — no fixed hours, no minimum commitment. You take captures that fit your schedule and skip the ones that don't.
Requirements
- Must be eligible to work in United States
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection

Common questions
What counts as a usable capture for kitchen and cooking work?
You film knife work, stovetop cooking, oven loading, dishwashing and food storage, recorded first-person with a phone on a head mount. On this category each capture is one full cooking task, typically 20 to 60 minutes. Claru records at 1080p in landscape with the camera at its widest zoom, angled slightly down so your hands stay in frame for most of the clip, and asks you to work normally without narrating or staging anything. The footage trains cooking assistants, recipe tools and kitchen robotics.
Why does this listing pay $15/hr?
Claru prices capture work by market rather than by skill, and this variant is open to contributors in United States. The published tiers run $5/hr across its Asian markets, $6-$7 across LATAM, $10 in Canada and $15 in the United States, for the same filming spec. Applying to a higher-paying variant from outside its listed countries will not get you that rate, so apply to the one matching where you live.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
No. Claru engages capture contributors as independent contractors with no fixed hours and no minimum commitment, so you take the captures that fit your week and skip the rest. US contributors typically run two to four captures a week.
Do I need filming or acting experience?
No. Claru wants ordinary, unstaged footage of tasks you were doing anyway, which is why it asks you not to narrate or perform for the camera. The requirement that matters is access to the setting being filmed, along with the phone and mount.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most use an online assessment or a test task instead of a live interview. When the listing says which, it's in the role details on this listing.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Short, hands-on tasks such as recording videos, sorting images, rating AI answers or checking data. Most take 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Generalist work look like for a Kitchen & Cooking Video Capture — United States?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Kitchen & Cooking Video Capture — United States, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
