About this role, in Alignerr's words
What if your voice could help teach AI how to handle a real phone call to a hospital or clinic — in Japanese? We're looking for native Japanese speakers in the Sydney area to hold natural spoken conversations with an AI healthcare receptionist, then evaluate how well it listens, responds, and takes action.
What you'll do
- Hold 4 to 5 minute spoken conversations in Japanese with an AI front desk assistant, playing a fictional patient
- Say natural trigger phrases to test whether the AI makes the correct function calls — for example, checking a patient record, booking an appointment, or verifying insurance
- Review transcripts and classify how accurately the AI understood you and responded

- Follow detailed labeling guidelines consistently and submit high-quality work
