FAQs

Waffle Video is a revolutionary marketplace that bridges the gap between content creators and AI companies hungry for high-quality video training data. Our platform enables creators to capture real-world video content through our patent-pending mobile app and "Missions" system, while earning money every time their footage is licensed to AI companies - shaping the the next generation of visual AI models.

Simple: You film videos to complete missions, you get paid. We relicense those videos to additional AI companies, you get paid again.

All videos must be filmed through the Waffle Video mobile app – ensuring quality, metadata, and legal compliance. Each video package takes just minutes to create and consists of 10-20 second clips filmed from multiple angles and movements.

Two Ways to Earn

1. Paid Missions: Complete specific filming requests from AI companies and get paid for fulfilling those missions

2. Passive Income: Every video you film can be relicensed to multiple AI companies over time, creating recurring revenue from work you've already done

The Details When AI companies license our video catalog, you earn based on the hours of content you've contributed. The more you film, the more you earn. Here's what makes Waffle special:

• Recurring income: Your videos can be licensed to multiple AI companies, meaning you get paid repeatedly for content you filmed once

• Go Crazy!: Film as much as you want – dedicated creators can capture 1,000+ videos in a single day

• Early advantage: Content you film today is available for all future licensing deals

• Referral rewards coming soon: Early members will have exclusive opportunities to earn additional income through our upcoming referral program

• Transparent tracking: Your dashboard shows exactly how much content you've contributed

Payment Structure

• Earnings accumulate from both completed missions and licensing deals

• Payments are processed according to your Service Agreement schedule

• Full transparency through your creator dashboard

You're building a library of assets that can generate passive income for years to come. Every video you film increases your earning potential as more AI companies need quality training data.

For specific payment rates and terms, please refer to your Service Agreement.

For Creatives:

Film → Tag → Upload → Earn

Yes, signing up for Waffle Video is free. Creatives earn money when videos are purchased, while AI companies only pay for the content they license.

Waffle Video promotes environmental sustainability by using real-world, user-contributed videos, which reduce the need for energy-intensive synthetic data generation. Unlike synthetic video production, which requires vast computational resources and substantial water usage for cooling data centers, our model leverages existing devices and cloud storage for minimal environmental impact.
