About Turing:
Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.
About the role
We are developing a computer usage dataset to train intelligent systems that understand how users interact with software applications. The project involves recording your screen while performing detailed, multi-step tasks — such as configuring applications, exploring tools, or completing productivity workflows.
Each task may include 100+ individual interactions (clicks, keypresses, and other on-screen events). These recordings will be annotated and used for AI model development related to user behavior and workflow understanding.
Key Responsibilities
• Record your screen activity while completing assigned computer-based tasks.
• Carefully follow provided instructions and documentation to complete each task step-by-step.
