SourceBae positions itself as an AI workforce platform, and its offering has evolved well past the generic "AI recruiting" label. The company now sells a managed service that supplies AI labs, robotics teams and enterprises with the human labour AI development still depends on: domain experts who write prompts and reference answers, graders who rank competing model responses, red teamers who probe for unsafe outputs, and field teams who capture real-world task demonstrations.
The expert side of the platform covers text, image, audio and video annotation with language and subject expertise matched to the task, which makes it usable for specialised verticals rather than only general web-scale labelling. Deliverables typically take the form of supervised fine-tuning datasets, human preference rankings, benchmark evaluations and safety red-team reports — the same categories most frontier labs now purchase externally.
The newer and more distinctive layer is Physical AI data collection. SourceBae organises structured capture across households, manufacturing lines, warehouses, workshops, commercial kitchens, agriculture, construction sites, laboratories, healthcare and assisted living. Typical activities include cooking, cleaning and folding for home robotics; assembly, inspection and packaging for manufacturing; and picking, placing and scanning for warehouse automation. Pricing is quoted per project, so teams start with a scoping discussion rather than a public rate card.
