Write prompts

Create realistic prompts, questions, and scenarios, the kind a real user would actually ask AI. This is the foundation of most projects, and it appears as a standalone task or as the first step of something bigger.

Evaluate AI outputs

Review AI-generated responses and judge them using your expertise. Rate, rank, compare side-by-side, or flag issues that only a specialist would catch.

Improve responses

Write the ideal version. Rewrite AI drafts, create expert-quality answers, build multi-turn conversations. You set the standard the model will try to reach.
