Natural Language
Annotation Project
AI language work for linguistics professionals.
Twice-monthly pay · No fees.
PURPOSE
Why AI Needs Linguists
When a user says "cancel my ride" vs. "I don't want this ride anymore" — a linguist hears two different intent structures. AI doesn't. Not yet.
Your annotations convert raw utterances into structured representations of intent — teaching AI systems to understand what people actually mean, not just what they type.
HOW IT WORKS
What You'll Do as a Natural Language (NL) Annotator
You'll analyze real user utterances — the messy, context-dependent language people actually use — and annotate the underlying intent into structured formats AI systems can learn from.
You will:
• Analyze real user utterances and annotate the underlying intent into structured formats
• Apply native fluency to decode colloquialisms, implied meaning, and regional phrasing
• Flag anomalies, identify recurring patterns, and escalate edge cases to improve the broader system
• Work remotely, on your own schedule, within project timelines
Your native fluency is essential. These are signals only a native speaker can decode. All work is performed remotely. No follow-up required.
