An exchange for physical-interaction data

Physical AI can't learn to move from the internet. We built the place it learns instead.

01 — The missing corpus

The first great dataset was written. The next one has to be performed.

This corpus is being performed daily but not collected. Eight billion nervous systems, one exchange, paid only when the physics agrees.

02 — Why nobody has finished this

Four things have to be true at once. They never have been.

01

Reach

Hardware people already own.

02

Proof

Physics decides, not a reviewer.

03

Price

Priced by scarcity, not by the hour.

04

Ownership

No tokens, no blockchain.

What we build

One sentence goes in. Verified physical data comes out.

A lab writes what its model still can't do. We turn that sentence into capture tasks, judge every capture against physics as it happens, and return training-ready episodes.

01 / Intake

The swarm

Any sensor, anywhere. Phones, watches, earbuds, headsets, a webcam, a force glove — if it measures motion, pose or force, it can carry a capture task.

02 / Brief

One sentence in

A lab writes what its model still can't do, in plain English. That sentence is the entire brief — no schema, no data contract, no renegotiated scope.

plain englishno schemaone line
03 / Core

The Orchestration Layer

It turns that sentence into capture tasks, routes them to sensors that can satisfy them, and holds the ledger. Everything crosses this column exactly once.

04 / Coverage

The Dimension Moderator

It decides which dimensions the data must span before it counts as an answer. Ten thousand near-identical clips are not coverage, and it names the hole that's left.

05 / Gate

Physics decides

Not a reviewer, not a model, not us. The check is classical, it runs on the device at no compute cost, and a fabricated capture earns nothing.

06 / Loop

The return loop

The verdict reports back into the orchestration layer, not out to a report. Rejections re-price the gap, coverage updates, and new tasks go out to the swarm.

reject → re-pricegap → new task
07 / Delivery

Training‑ready data out

Not a folder of files: aligned, labelled, dimensioned episodes, each carrying a provenance chain your own machine re-walks offline. No tokens, no blockchain.

capture to delivery in seconds priced by scarcity, not by the hour

Proof, live

Two captures. One is real. Physics tells you which.

Priced by scarcity

The rarest capture pays the most.

For the people who capture

You already own the instrument. The part nobody can fake is you.

You perform what only a body can perform. Physics confirms a body did it, and you are paid because it is real.

The loop, from your pocket to your settlement

01 / Pair

Pair what you already own

Your phone alone is already a real instrument — two cameras, an inertial sensor, a microphone and a clock, already calibrated against each other. Add a watch, a pair of earbuds, an old phone propped up as a second angle, and the ceiling of what you can be trusted to capture climbs with every device you pair.

02 / Task

Only what you can actually deliver

The exchange already knows, precisely, what the corpus is missing — not a vague theme but a specific, named gap. What lands in your hands is the intersection of that hole and the sensors you happen to be carrying, so the ask is always concrete and never open-ended.

03 / Capture

Capture is a game, not a job

Twenty seconds inside what used to be an ad slot, or a twenty-minute quest with a score worth chasing. The score isn't decoration bolted on afterward — it's the quality check itself, so playing it well and clearing the gate happen in the same motion.

04 / Verify

Physics decides, not a reviewer

The instant you stop recording, a classical check runs right there on your own device — no upload, no queue, no reviewer's judgment call. A fabricated capture earns nothing under that check, which is the entire reason a genuine one is worth paying for.

05 / Multiplier

Priced by scarcity, not by the hour

Every capture is scored live against how rare it is and how badly a buyer needs exactly that gap filled — never against a clock. The fumble everyone else's quality control throws away is often the rarest thing on the board, and it's priced like it.

06 / Paid

Paid, and you keep a stake

Settlement follows the moment a capture is accepted, carrying a record you — or anyone — can re-walk offline without asking Praana Labs to vouch for it. What you just delivered also shapes what you're offered next, so the loop tightens around exactly the gaps you're good at filling.

How captures scale

Seven tiers, from a glance to full teleoperation

Every tier is optional. Climb only as far as your time and hardware take you.

  • Judgment

    no gear

    Pure perception calls, seconds long. Nothing is captured, so nothing can leak.

  • Reflex breaks

    bare phone

    The ad-slot replacement. A touch or motion trace, distilled on-device.

  • Quest sessions

    phone + motion

    Levels where beating them is the capture: opens, primitives, narrated manipulation, locomotion.

  • Guided capture

    phone + lens

    Not a game you win — a coverage bar you fill. Object sweeps, depth pairs, two-phone multi-view.

  • Real-task capture

    mount · force glove

    A real task with real gear on: long-horizon chores, deformables, contact-rich force work.

  • Teleoperation

    remote rig

    Drive remote hardware yourself. The trajectory itself is the data, gold-standard grade.

  • Directed quests

    whatever it needs

    Overlaid on every tier above — live demand lights up the cells the exchange needs most.

Each tier only ever asks for what its capture actually needs.

The capability ladder

Start with a phone. Climb only if you want to.

Each rung unlocks work the one below cannot reach.

The phone you own

An inertial sensor, two cameras, a mic, a clock — already calibrated.

Unlocks judgment · motion priors · articulated interaction · failure & recovery

No hardware sold. Every rung above the first is optional.

For app publishers

Replace the ad slot with a capture round

Swap the ad slot for a capture round — users opt in and earn instead of wait.
