Help out · San Diego AI Studio

Bring your interests. Let's find a useful fit.

Tell us what you would like to do, what you want in return and how much time you have. These are conversations about possible contributions; specific work and terms still need review and agreement.

This form records your interest. Work, pay, credit, access and use of anything you create require specific written terms, legal review and your agreement before work begins.

How a contribution conversation works

01Interest

Tell us what you enjoy doing and what you want to learn or earn.

Discuss one useful result, the inputs it needs and what is outside it.

03Time

Agree availability and a review point for a specific engagement.

04Return

Discuss pay, credit, access or another return before deciding whether to work together.

05Terms

The terms for a specific contribution need legal review before any work, role or pay offer.

06Agreement

Scope, return, ownership, sharing rights and an exit are agreed before work begins.

Before work begins

Event support, teaching, media and business delivery can involve different arrangements. The terms for a specific contribution need legal review before job, role or pay offers. We then agree the actual scope, time, return and responsibilities with each person before work begins.

Credit, ownership and permission to use footage, photos, graphics or writing belong in that specific agreement. Sending this form does not transfer rights to your work.

Tell us what you have in mind. This records interest only; an actual opportunity needs reviewed terms and a separate agreement.
