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 Canada. Pay is $10/hour USD, fixed flat rate, paid via international wire or Wise transfer on a bi-weekly cadence. Canadian contributors typically run two to four captures per week.
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 CA
- 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 $10/hr?
Claru prices capture work by market rather than by skill, and this variant is open to contributors in Canada. 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.
Do I get paid for footage that gets rejected?
No. Claru pays per hour of accepted footage, so clips that miss the spec on framing, resolution or hand visibility do not count toward your total. Film one short clip and get it reviewed before recording several hours you might not be paid for.
When does Claru pay capture contributors?
On a bi-weekly cadence once your footage is accepted. Contributors in the United States are paid by ACH direct deposit and typically see a first batch land within 7 to 10 days of approval; other markets are paid by international transfer through Wise, Payoneer or a local equivalent.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
Do task-based AI training roles require an interview?
Most skip a live interview entirely and gate access through an automated assessment or qualification task instead. Where we've confirmed the specific requirement for this listing, it's called out above in What We Know About This Role.
What does Generalist work look like for a Kitchen & Cooking Video Capture — Canada?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Kitchen & Cooking Video Capture — Canada, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
AI Training and Content Review are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $10/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Claru's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside CA?
This specific role is open only to people based in CA. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply.
Who is behind Claru?
Claru is the contributor-facing brand of Reka AI, which collects human data for frontier AI labs across text, vision, video and robotics. Its board splits into regional video capture work and desk-based annotation and evaluation, and the apply link on this page is an affiliate link that does not change your pay or what you are offered.
