Prolific
Real human data. Ready in minutes.

Prolific is a platform that connects AI developers, researchers, and organizations with verified human participants for data collection, AI training, and research studies. It enables tasks like preference tuning, safety evaluations, and benchmarks by sourcing feedback from representative populations. Participants can also join the platform to earn money by taking online studies.
Organizations post studies or data tasks, and Prolific connects them with a vetted pool of diverse participants who complete tasks and provide feedback in exchange for payment.
