About this role
From the Mindrift listing
Mindrift is running a research study on how people use their phones, apps and everyday digital tools, and how that differs across languages and cultures. We’re looking for native Portuguese speakers in New York to join a paid, 3-day in-person study in Midtown Manhattan. Why your language matters Most technology is still designed with English speakers in mind. This study helps researchers understand how people who communicate in Portuguese actually use their devices, so future products work better for them. What you’ll do Spend 1-3 days with our research team in Midtown Manhattan. Walk us through how you use your phone and favourite apps in daily life. Share examples of your everyday phone activity with the research team. You decide what’s included. Fill in a short questionnaire about your habits. Who we’re looking for 18+ and currently living in NYC. A native Portuguese speaker who grew up in Portugal. You use Portuguese in everyday life: texting friends, email, notes. You’ve used a smartphone as your main personal phone for 3+ years. Comfortable communicating in English. Available for 3 consecutive days (Mon–Wed or Thu–Sat), starting October 16 on Friday. Not currently employed by a tech or AI company. Great fit for international students, people new to NYC, and anyone between jobs or with a flexible schedule. Compensation $1,200–1,600 for the full study. Simple and transparent Participation is voluntary and covered by a signed consent form that explains exactly what’s involved. You can ask questions at any point and stop whenever you like. How to apply Register on Mindrift and complete a short screening questionnaire. We’ll confirm your session dates once you’re shortlisted. Apply now

Common questions
How much does Mindrift pay?
General evaluation tasks, such as fact-checking and tone checks, pay $15-30/hr and don't need an advanced degree. Verified experts can earn $40-100+/hr on specialized projects, so you can start as a generalist and move to a specialist track.
What does a typical Mindrift task involve?
Read a scenario, write a short prompt for the AI (around 100 words), evaluate two AI responses to it, fact-check the outputs, then write a brief explanation (around 50 words) on which response is better against the project rubric. The focus is clarity, safety, and rule-following, not creative writing.
Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?
Some. You're hired for your talent, but most projects follow strict style guides, such as a neutral tone or a technical-manual style, so the work stays consistent.
What equipment do I need for creative AI training roles?
Voice and audio roles at this pay level usually need a home studio: an XLR microphone and a quiet, treated room. Quality checks usually reject phone and laptop recordings.

You check AI answers to Languages questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As an European Portuguese Speaker Study Participant - NYC, $1,200-1,600, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Languages experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?

Do I need to be fluent in English, European Portuguese, or Portuguese?

Can I apply from outside the United States, Europe, or Portugal?
This role is open only to people based in the United States, Europe, and Portugal. The limit is usually about where the platform can legally hire, so applying from elsewhere rarely leads to an offer.
