Shaip × Airtm: Solving Real-World Payment Challenges for Our Global Contributor Network

At Shaip, contributors aren’t just part of our workforce—they are at the heart of everything we do.

Every labeled image, transcribed audio file, and segmented dataset you deliver plays a vital role in developing responsible, inclusive, and high-performing AI models for the world’s leading companies. From building voice assistants that understand dialects to training healthcare AI with annotated medical data—your work powers real innovation.

And we believe such valuable work deserves to be rewarded fairly, securely, and without delay—no matter where you are in the world.

Why Payments Matter So Much at Shaip

When you’re working on a global AI project, the work is digital—but the impact is very human. We collaborate with thousands of contributors from over 100 countries. Many of you rely on this income for daily expenses, education, and supporting your families.

Yet, for far too long, global payments have been a pain point.

The Challenges

Delays in bank transfers—especially in developing markets

High currency conversion fees that eat into your earnings

Limited access to reliable digital wallets in certain countries

Regulatory restrictions and complicated banking infrastructure

These barriers can discourage participation, create frustration, and ultimately slow down the momentum of our shared work. And that’s not acceptable to us.

Our Commitment: Contributor Experience Comes First

We’ve always believed that AI built with human insight needs to respect the humans behind the data. That’s why contributor experience—from onboarding to project delivery to payments—is a top priority at Shaip.

When we saw the growing friction in how some contributors were being paid, we started asking:

  • How do we make payments faster and fairer?
  • How do we reduce hidden costs and payment friction?
  • How do we empower contributors with more financial control?
