Can You Really Sell Your Phone Footage to AI Companies?
Robotics and multimodal AI models learn from watching how humans actually do things — cook, assemble furniture, use software, drive. Stock footage and YouTube clips are heavily represented already; what's scarce is unscripted, first-person, real-task footage with proper consent and rights to license it.
What typically qualifies: task-focused phone or headcam video (not just talking-head content), screen recordings of real software workflows, and voice samples recorded with clear consent. What doesn't: footage you don't own the rights to, anything involving other identifiable people without their consent, or content that's already been licensed elsewhere exclusively.
A licensing agent like MON$TER handles the buyer relationship and rights paperwork so you don't have to negotiate directly with an AI lab — see the data licensing category for how referrals and payouts work.
