How Chipo works

From a voice on a phone to data you can train on

Four steps turn real human contributions into consented, rights-cleared datasets.

A contributor recording a voice task on their phone
  1. 01

    Collect

    Verified contributors around the world complete short, well-paid tasks — recording their voice, labelling images, answering surveys — straight from their phones.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Every submission passes multi-layer quality review and is wrapped in a consent record, so the data is clean, accurate, and rights-cleared from day one.

  3. 03

    License

    AI teams browse a catalog of consent-verified datasets and license exactly what their models need — ready to download and train on.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Need something bespoke? Our partnerships team sources custom pipelines to your exact specification, in any language or modality.

Why Chipo?

Human

AI needs real human context, not only scraped content.

Consented

Every contribution starts with permission and clear usage terms.

Representative

Underrepresented languages, accents, and environments, by design.

Verified

Contributors, submissions, metadata, and quality are all checked.

Rewarded

Rates visible before you start every task — not buried in terms.

Global

The model starts in Africa and is built to serve AI teams everywhere.

Starting where the need is greatest.

Built for the data the world is missing.

The most valuable training data isn't found by scraping the web. It comes from underrepresented languages, real-world environments, and communities that existing datasets have barely touched. Chipo starts where the need is greatest and scales globally.
