About this role
From the Terac listing
What We're Researching
We're hiring AI evaluators to assess the accuracy and helpfulness of a new digital shopping assistant. This project focuses on understanding how well the system handles real-world e-commerce queries and where it falls short in its logic. Your analysis will directly feed into improving the underlying model and its response quality.
How It Works
You will review real interaction traces between users and the shopping assistant within our custom platform. As you analyze these conversations, you will pinpoint specific failures, logical errors, or unhelpful product recommendations. From there, you will create structured rubrics and verifiers to consistently judge future response quality. This is an ongoing remote engagement requiring 20+ hours per week.
Who This Is For
This opportunity is ideal for quality assurance specialists, AI data evaluators, and e-commerce professionals with a strong eye for detail. We welcome applicants with prior experience in prompt engineering, complex data annotation, or software testing. You should be comfortable analyzing text interactions deeply and building structured evaluation frameworks from scratch.
Why this role
This AI Evaluators: Assessing a Shopping Assistant opening pays $30/hr and draws on Generalist knowledge you've already built. Onboarding covers the AI training process itself.

Common questions
Is Terac legitimate?
Yes. Terac is a funded, US-based marketplace with real AI-lab and market-research clients, not a task-mill. It verifies your identity and professional background before matching you to any paid work, which is stricter screening than most open task queues use.
How does Terac decide who gets matched to this listing?
You complete a short AI-driven interview, identity verification, and a domain-specific screening test once. After that, Terac matches verified candidates to paid studies that fit their profile instead of running an open queue, and pay is released once your submission on this listing is checked against the requirements above.
Is this kind of AI-training work on Terac steady, or does it come and go?
Project-based, not steady. Terac opens listings like this in bursts when an AI lab requests a specific batch, categorizing data, writing or validating coding tasks, creating expert-level problems, and closes them once the batch is filled or complete. Treat it as recurring gig income you requalify for each time, not a standing job.
Why does pay vary so much across Terac's AI-training listings?
Pay tracks verified expertise, not a platform-wide rate. Generalist labeling sits at a few dollars an hour; work gated behind a passed domain screening, like software engineering or STEM problem creation, pays task bounties well over $100. Check this listing's own rate above rather than assuming other Terac listings pay the same.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
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.
What does Generalist work look like for an AI Evaluators: Assessing a Shopping Assistant?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As an AI Evaluators: Assessing a Shopping Assistant, 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?
Data Annotation, Coding, and Entry Level 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 $30/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 Terac'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 the United States, the United Kingdom, or Canada?
This specific role is open only to people based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. 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, since they can differ by country.
