Looking back — a year with Mindrift

Whether you're new to the Mindrift team or considering joining, this blog will be your special guide into the heart of Mindrift, straight from the horse's mouth (I would say horse's mouth, but I love cats!)

About me

After graduating with a bachelor's in social sciences, majoring in Psychology and English, I became a trauma counselor in 2009. My journey led me through digital marketing and eventually to freelance copywriting. Now, I'm an experienced copywriter, digital marketer, and social media enthusiast.

In the beginning

I discovered Mindrift on LinkedIn in September 2023. As a copywriter, I was initially wary of LLMs like ChatGPT. However, I learned to use them to my advantage, doubling my productivity. Still, I craved more consistency, stability, flexibility and challenge.

Hopping onboard

After completing the onboarding process, I was surprised to be accepted into a team of about 10 people. The fast-paced environment was initially daunting but the supportive atmosphere made it manageable.

Early days

When I joined, Mindrift was quite different. The platform, interface, tasks, and guidelines have evolved significantly. Initially, we focused on creative writing, closed Q&A tasks, and open Q&A tasks to improve AI models.

Embracing change

If you're joining Mindrift, be prepared for change. As teams were reshuffled and new tasks introduced, I had to adapt. It was challenging but ultimately rewarding.

We're in this together

At Mindrift, everyone receives equal respect. I've made amazing friends from different states and countries. Our team and project leads are always there to help, ensuring you're never left to fend for yourself.

What is an AI tutor?

I often joke that I "train robots". Mindrift offers various roles, including writers, editors, coders, and domain experts. While I'm content as a writer, it's great to know there are other options. Our common goal is to make AI better.

Flexibility

As a part-time employee at Mindrift, you can decide how much work you want to do and when. This setup is perfect for students, parents, or those with other commitments.

Show me the money!

With Mindrift, what you put in is what you get out. The more tasks you complete, the more you earn. It's currently my primary income source but I can still take on freelance gigs if I choose.

Mindrift has provided me with the most interesting, challenging and flexible work I've ever done. Looking back on my year-long journey, I see only good things on the horizon. It's exciting to know I'm making a difference in the future of AI.
