Acendeu / About

We teach machines with the work of people who know how.

Acendeu is a Brazilian data company for artificial intelligence. Professionals record, narrate and review real work to train and evaluate robots and AI models.

What we do

First-person video

Skilled trade work recorded from the worker’s point of view, hands in frame, for robotics, world models and multimodal models.

Narration and annotation

The professional explains what they do and why. Every clip is split into steps, with timing, tools and mistakes.

Expert data

Benchmarks, rubrics and evaluations written by Brazilian professionals, to measure what models know about Brazil.

Why Brazil

The next generation of AI needs to learn from the physical world. Much of the video data available today comes from a few countries and from household chores.

Brazil has millions of skilled tradespeople, in workshops, kitchens, construction sites and labs that differ widely. That way of working barely shows up in the data that trains models. This is the gap Acendeu wants to close.

Principles

Consent

Everyone who records signs terms first, knowing what the videos are for and who gets them.

Privacy

We record hands and work, not faces. Bystanders, screens and plates are blurred before delivery.

Quality

Every video is reviewed by an expert in the same field.

Transparency

The hourly rate is shown before you start. Taking part costs nothing.

What we don’t do

We don’t charge fees to take part, for sign-up, kits or training
We don’t pay commissions for recruiting other people: we pay for work that is recorded and approved
We don’t use your image in advertising, or let anyone else do it
We never ask for passwords, verification codes or card details

Who we are

We are a new company, started in 2026 by three partners in Brazil.

Let’s build this together.
