How it works

Three steps.
No experience needed.

You don't need to be an actor. You need to be a human — with all the texture, contradiction, and cultural context that entails.

01
Get a scenario prompt
A situation, a role, and a constraint that makes it challenging. "Be angry in a way that makes the other person feel responsible — without ever explicitly blaming them."
02
Record your response
A 30-second to 3-minute voice or video clip. Or a written response — the passive-aggressive email, the subtly manipulative text. Your format, your device.
03
Get scored and paid
AI and community scoring rates authenticity. Rare behavioral profiles earn more. Build your range, unlock higher tiers, take on better-paying tasks.

The gap we fill

Synthetic data gets this wrong every time.

AI labs can generate infinite text, but they can't generate genuine human messiness. The hesitation before a hard truth. The warmth inside an ultimatum. The way disappointment sounds when someone is trying to hide it.

That's not a technical limitation. It's a data limitation. And it's exactly what LarpingLabs fixes.

What we capture
High-fidelity human behavior
Nuanced emotional scenarios with cultural specificity — the subtle, the adversarial, the quietly complex.
Why it's valuable
The rarest training data exists
We have 40,000 recordings of straightforward anger. We have 200 of quiet dignified disappointment from someone over 55. That's worth 12× more.
Where it goes
Direct to AI alignment labs
Labs submit task requests directly. Your performance becomes the training data that makes AI actually understand people.

The task feed

Challenges designed to be hard.

The constraints are what create value. Easy prompts produce worthless data. Difficult, specific constraints produce training data that can't be generated any other way.

Voice · 60–90s $4.20

You found out your friend took credit for your idea at work. You need to bring it up — but you're not ready to lose the friendship.

Constraint Express frustration without ever using accusatory language. Make the other person arrive at the problem themselves.
🔥 Rare — 147 recordings
Written · 200–400 words $6.80

Write a performance review for a colleague you personally dislike but who objectively does good work.

Constraint Be entirely fair and accurate. Let absolutely nothing of your personal feeling show — but don't suppress your voice either.
💎 Very rare — 34 recordings

The long-term vision

The data nobody else can replicate.

Cultural and linguistic behavioral nuance is becoming the defining quality differentiator as AI goes global. Early communities become permanent moats.

🎭
Behavioral range portfolio
Performers build a reel of demonstrated range. More range unlocks higher tiers and higher-paying, exclusive tasks.
⚔️
Head-to-head challenges
Two performers, same prompt. Community and AI score which was more authentic. Winners earn bonus payout — and generate the preference data RLHF training requires.
🌍
Cultural specificity edge
Non-Western behavioral data is the most underserved segment in AI training. Southeast Asia, West Africa, Latin America, MENA — the community we build now can't be replicated later.
