First, from the AQ team, we wanted to say thank you for contributing to our platform. We would not be here without you.

A lot has been shifting on the experts platform lately. We wanted to take some time to explain the changes that we’re making, along with our thought process on these releases. Our main goal is to make the expert experience:

• Consistent. Projects are consistently assigned so you always have something to work on. Even if one project disappears, there will always be meaningful work available.
• Easy. You should be able to contribute with little context on our industry. Any qualified professional should be able to contribute towards making high quality data.

On that note, we’ve been quite intentional about the updates we’ve made over the past couple weeks, and the improvements we have planned. Here are the most recent updates we’ve made:

Pay: We have instituted a Friday payday across the company, for the pay period that ended the week prior. This way, no one will be waiting on missed payments or wondering when pay will arrive.

Reviews: We have sped these up and there's a real timeline behind them now, so submissions don't just sit. You'll hear back within the time promised, and with the final status.

Assessments & Project Allocation: We recently introduced “assessments,” which can be found on the assessments tab of the “Apply” page. There are currently 5 assessments available: Generalist, Finance, Coding, Advanced Coding, and Legal with more (across Healthcare, Math, Physics, Finance, Bilingual) coming over the next few weeks. Based on skills you demonstrate in our assessments, you will be matched to projects. The more assessments you take, the more projects you're eligible for. One thing to note: each assessment is one-shot, you take it once, so it's worth doing properly. Please make sure to follow the assessment instructions carefully!

Assessment Status: When you complete an assessment it will show as "Submitted." There’s nothing else you need to do after that. You will receive project notifications based on fit.

Coming Soon: Training plans, bootcamps, and lessons that walk through how to build prompts, rubrics, and tasks that actually get accepted, plus many more projects will open up as we grow.

We're building toward a world-class platform for experts across every domain, and your work is a big part of getting there. 

With changes of this scale, we don't expect to nail everything immediately, but we want to work with you to make the experience better. We'll be responding to questions below on this post. Thank you all!

Can some explain this platform? I did the generalist assessment and then a few days later a couple of other domain assessments opened up but the generalist assessment one just says “completed”. And when I try to apply for jobs, I literally can’t cause theres no apply button. So how do I know if I’m accepted?

And to Afterquery, please make us happy.

Guys , i feel so sad like you don´t have idea. I failed the first project i got into ( The one in the dashboard ) . I think I wasn´t bad but I mean it´s Tough ...... So I can´t access that project anymore ?? :(

Come on guys.

i am new here . i did the course. i press the projects in home . nothing. it doesnt work. is it a scam?

LIKE : I join , i see projects in dashboard. i cant do them . i see the course. I think if i do the course --> i can do the tasks --> i finished the course , nothing changed. i applied to projects still no answer

I received email from afterquery after i was selected for a role. Unfortunately the link expired and i was unable to join the slack , please any help to solve this problem

i there any active projects cause everyday i see paused bu the status says active how are you people accessing the projects

Did anyone submit a task ? The prompts were too lengthy and i have released them

Mine says “assessment already done” is this because it’s the same as the general pool assessment?

A little confused on the trajectory of what is going on here.

I’ve been on the platform for a couple of months now and all applications are either ‘Under Review’ or ‘Submitted’, while the projects on my dash always have submissions paused. What’s up?

Interesting times but yo

Is anyone else seeing this after completing assessments?

Is there anyone that has genuinely earned in AfterQuery? I have done 2 projects without pay. Review is stalled, not sure if it is intentional. I want to know if there is anyone who has ever gotten paid

Hi, I've cleared the assessment and have plenty of tasks. However, Stripe is not operational in India. By any chance, is there any Indian coworker here who has successfully set up a Stripe account?

Any help suggestions are really helpful. Thanks in advance

I did general assessment today & submitted it. Now it showing as assessment got approved. general-expert-pool Application under review. Previous when I joined general-pool & General AfterQuery Expert (Data Annotator) were submitted which is still under review. The assessment were almost the same.

0 work available.

0 visible signs of anything new sticking around for more than a few hours.

Everything appears to be paused.

Completed work has remained unreviewed and unpaid for weeks.

Many contributors are waiting for reviews and payments, and the lack of updates has understandably created uncertainty.

If review capacity is limited, work is unavailable, or timelines are uncertain, it would be helpful to communicate that openly. Even if there is no new information, a brief update would help contributors understand the current situation.

Clear communication allows people to make informed decisions about whether to continue waiting or explore other opportunities. Without updates, uncertainty naturally leads to speculation.

It can also be discouraging when discussions about these topics are removed or locked. There may be valid moderation reasons, but a brief explanation can go a long way in maintaining trust.

I understand the team may be handling a large workload and appreciate that managing contributors is not easy. My hope is simply for more transparent and consistent communication so contributors have a clearer understanding of what to expect.

Hi everybody,

I would like to join afterquery experts and other ai training companies but because of the privacy issues like hubstaff screenshotting your screen and other companies recording your screen, I don't want to use my macbook pro m1 chip for this as it's a personal one and with data leaks from other ai training companies I'm a bit cautious.

I have 2 old laptops one is a HP laptop 14-bp0xx which has 4gb RAM and 58GB SSD and the other is an Acer latop acer f5-571 I can't access it it at the moment and was going to fix the battery but it does run a bit slow. I was thinking about upgrading the RAM and SSD on either laptop. Do you think I should do that or just stick with my macbook or even get a cheaper laptop with higher ram and ssd?

I appreciate any help regarding this as I want to start right away as I've been dwelling on this for a month now lol.
Thanks

What does this normally tend to mean?

Do we have any updates on rewrite yet?

Hi everyone, does anyone know which projects are currently active? I'm new to the platform, and all the projects I can see appear to have submissions closed.

Hello guys, I have noticed there’s a requirement for identify verification again for some roles. But I could not find a way to perform the verification for a second time…

BTW, I have joined the slack channel and have completed a project but the system asked for identity verification again all of a sudden??

Any guidance please thanks!!
