For AI and robotics teams
Real-world POV data, sourced on demand
You need first-person footage of real trade and factory work, not another lab demo. Write a short spec, fund a prize pool, and we route it to the people who actually do the job.
The data bottleneck
Most robot and AI learning pipelines are starved for the right kind of data. Simulation is cheap but it never matches the friction, lighting, and clutter of a real job site. Lab teleop is clean but it is collected by a handful of people, on a handful of rigs, in a handful of rooms.
The result is a model that handles the demo and falls apart on the long tail. Real work is messy. A water heater in a cramped closet, a panel with thirty years of wiring, a warehouse aisle that never looks like the last one. That variation is exactly what your policy needs to see, and it is the hardest thing to manufacture in-house.
Inception gets you the long tail directly from the people living it: plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, cleaners, delivery and logistics crews, factory and warehouse workers, carpenters, and appliance repair techs, filming their own hands doing real work.
How sourcing works
You stay on the spec and the budget. We handle the crowd. The flow is simple.
- You write a short spec. What trade, what tasks, what the camera should see, mounting (chest or head), minimum length, and any framing rules.
- You fund a prize pool. That money is the payout to the workers, plus our flat fee on top.
- We run the whole campaign on Pump.fun Go and route it to people who actually do that job. You never touch the crowd or manage submissions.
- Up to five winners per campaign get paid in USDC. You get the winning clips, licensed and ready to train on.
It is open to anyone with a camera and the work to film. There is no application to record, so you reach far more real operators than a closed data vendor ever could.
What you get
Every clip that lands in your hands comes with the basics covered.
- Diverse real sites and hands. Different bodies, tools, homes, shops, and warehouses, not one rig in one room.
- First-person POV of genuine work, chest or head mounted, framed the way you asked for in the spec.
- Consent and on-chain provenance for every delivered clip, so you know where the footage came from and that you are licensed to use it.
- Clips matched to your spec. If a submission does not fit the brief, it does not win, and it does not get delivered to you.
What it costs
The prize pool is yours to set. It is the money that pays the workers, and bigger pools pull better and more footage. On top of that pool, Inception keeps a 10% fee. That is the whole pricing model.
No per-seat licenses, no annual contract, no platform minimum hidden in the footnotes. You fund a pool, we take 10%, the other 90% goes to the people who filmed the work, and everything settles on Solana through Pump.fun Go.
How to start
Start with one campaign for one trade and see the footage for yourself. Write the spec, fund the pool, and we will have it live and routed to real operators.
Running many campaigns, or need a custom spec across several trades? Email teams@inception.training and we will scope it with you.
