PaidHuman feedback and study participants for AI training, evals and research
What is Prolific?
Prolific connects AI developers and researchers with verified human participants who complete studies, rate model outputs and build evaluation data. AI teams use it for preference tuning and safety evals, while academics use it to run surveys and experiments quickly.
For AI work, Prolific offers agentic evals and benchmarks, a human feedback API, access to domain experts such as healthcare and coding specialists, and its HUMAINE leaderboard of human preferences for LLMs. Ai2, for example, used it to cut human data collection for multimodal models from weeks to hours.
Researchers set up a study, pick an audience from the participant pool and pay rewards plus a platform fee, with no contract or subscription required. Developers can connect through the API, a GitHub presence and an MCP server, and managed services are available for larger projects.
