Labs pay businesses rather than build sets: real work, at its real pace, cannot be replayed in a lab.

Our role
You say yes. We organise the rest.
The programme pays for the videos, but it does not come to your sites. We link the two, from the first call to the first payment.

The programme
Your company gets paid
Payment arrives 14 days after month end, and we check the statement with you.
One contact follows you from the first call to the first payment, then every month.
The programme pays us: you pay us nothing.
REC00:31:05Your staff and your customers
The camera films your teams' hands.
Your staff
They volunteer, start each recording themselves and receive the share you set.
Your customers
You leave out any job or place you choose. In a private home, nothing is filmed without the occupant’s written consent.
Employment law
Each employee is told in writing before filming, and staff representatives are consulted where the law requires. We prepare these documents with you.
The robots
They are years away, for the hardest tasks. Until then, your company is the one paid to teach them.
Who gets paid, me or my staff?
Your company, every month. You set and pay the shares for workers and team leads yourself; each person sees their hours in the app.
What does "approved hour" mean?
An hour of footage that follows the agreed instructions: the task in view, hands in frame. Your dashboard shows hours filmed and hours approved separately.
Do my teams have to work differently?
No. They wear a phone on a head mount and start the app before each agreed task. Both hands stay free.
What equipment is needed?
One smartphone per person filming, and a head mount bought by your company. No minimum hours, no long contract.
Can I leave out some jobs or places?
Yes. Tasks, areas and the people filmed are agreed before the first recording, and you can change them.
Why a waiting list in Europe?
The programme is open to companies based in the United States. Elsewhere, applications are received and held country by country; signing up puts you first in line when it opens.
How are you paid?
By the programme, which pays us a share of each hour paid. That share does not come out of your payment, and you pay us nothing.
