[AMA] We’re the Alignerr team, ask us anything!

👋 Hey Everyone!

We’ve been diligently building Alignerr from the ground up to create the best platform for experts like you to help align and improve the world’s leading generative AI models. While there’s still much to do, we wanted to take some time to answer your questions from the Alignerr community.

We've added some FAQs below for you to read through. If your question is still not answered here, feel free to post your questions, and our team will start answering them at 4 PM EST.

FAQs

  1. Will you be extending assessment time? Our assessments are intended to be challenging. The goal is to find the sweet spot between challenging and fair. But we’ve heard Alignerrs loud and clear—we’re currently evaluating increasing the time limits on our assessments! There are some minor engineering challenges we need to work through to make it possible, but something we are looking into!
  2. Do you allow for retests? At this time we are not allowing retests, however we are still brand new and hope to develop more processes moving forward. If you're eligible for a retest in the future, you will be notified.
  3. I passed my assessment(s), when will I receive an invitation to begin onboarding? It depends on the role and our project availability. We launched just 2 months ago, so our team is working hard to source more projects for Alignerrs to work on. Once there is a project available that fits your skill set, you will receive a notification to begin onboarding. We can’t promise specific timelines—it can range from 1 day to a few weeks.
  4. How can I apply for more roles? If you log into the Alignerr app, you should see a menu option for “roles.” In the roles page, you can apply for new positions, and if an assessment is available, take it immediately on the home page.
  5. How can you ensure I will receive payment? We use a third-party platform called Deel to process payments. Even if you lose access to Alignerr or Labelbox, our systems will still submit your time to our third party partner to process your payment. We’ve dedicated months of engineering time to developing a robust time-tracking system in our app. This system ensures you know it’s active while you’re labeling, even providing status updates. Additionally, we have safeguards in place to ensure you get paid correctly even if you lose internet connection. We’re also finalizing an automated system for calculating and processing payments. Alignerr takes the trust placed in us for accurate payments very seriously, and we are committed to maintaining that trust.
  6. Will you lower the minimum score needed to pass an assessment? We’re updating our score requirements based on assessment difficulty—the same way a professor curves a test after it’s been graded. If we adjust the passing score threshold, you will be automatically notified and invited to onboard.
  7. Can I travel to other countries while working for Alignerr? Yes you can! Just give us a heads up before you do!
  8. How can I check my assessment score? We’re going to add the functionality for you to see your score in our app—keep an eye out for it. For now, you can see your score by logging into Test Gorilla as long as we don't have to manually grade it. If we do have to manually grade it, your status will be updated within your dashboard (this can take a few days to update).
  9. Why did my Slack invitation expire? This is a bug that we are aware of. Our engineer team is actively working to resolve this and should be fixed shortly.
  10. Why won't my assessment start button work? If this is happening, please comment below the name of the assessment in which you are trying to start and we will forward to our engineer team to deploy a fix.
