CrowdGen by Appen is the contributor platform of Appen Limited (ASX: APX), a publicly traded AI-data company founded in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, that describes '30 years at the intersection of human intelligence and AI' across speech recognition, machine translation, computer vision, RLHF alignment, and frontier model development, with '80% of the world's leading LLM builders' among its customers. CrowdGen (previously branded Appen Connect — existing users sign in with the same credentials) is where individual contributors register, get matched to projects, complete tasks, and get paid. The platform states it operates in 'over 200 countries' and paid contributors 'over $157 million' in 2022.
Mixed — most CrowdGen projects are remote, but the platform also runs on-site studies (e.g. Project Warhol, an in-person study in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

Monthly cycle for standard contributor work — per CrowdGen's own official payment-status/dashboard documentation, payouts move through Pending Approval → Ready for Payment → Payment Complete → Payout in Progress. Specific dates (invoice submitted in the first week of the month, paid by the 14th) are reported by a secondary source summarizing CrowdGen's FAQ, not independently confirmed first-party in this pass. Individual featured projects (e.g. Touchet, Warhol) instead state their own one-time/per-session payout terms — see current_verified_projects.
