Company Performance Metrics
- Avi Patel: Chief Executive Officer and Founder
Kled is the first app that pays people for their personal data. It recently hit number 1 in the App Store Finance category in four countries, and some users have reportedly earned up to $7,400 per month for uploading their personal data.
The concept is simple. AI and robotics companies need massive amounts of real world human data to train robots,
AI agents, and advanced models to do real life tasks. That data includes every day things like videos of someone taking out the trash, dashcam footage, street conditions, photos of pets, receipts, documents, and more. Typically, these AI companies have stolen this data; instead, Kled allows people to upload it consensually and get paid for it.
Once a user earns at least $25, they can cash out. Payouts are processed every 3 to 4 days. Top earners are making up to $7,400 per month, with others using it as a quick and easy side hustle for a few bucks per month.
The company positions itself as one of the largest opt-in human data networks for AI training. All data is voluntarily uploaded by users and reviewed through fraud detection and quality systems before being licensed to AI labs, robotics companies, enterprises, and research teams.
In short, Kled is trying to change the relationship between people and their data. Instead of platforms taking it, users can choose to sell it.
