About Prolific
Prolific is not just another player in the AI space – we are building the biggest pool of quality human data in the world.
Over 35,000 AI developers, researchers, and organizations use Prolific to gather data from paid study participants with a wide variety of experiences, knowledge, and skills.
The Opportunity
Do you love planning trips and love writing? This one's for you.
We're looking for experienced US-based travel agents who also have a real appetite for writing. Maybe you kept a blog on the side. Maybe you wrote for your university paper, have a half-finished novel in a drawer, or you just find yourself explaining things in painstaking detail because you can't help it. If putting things into words is something you enjoy rather than endure, we'd love to hear from you.
The task: take one long-term process that's central to your work as a travel agent, something like building a complex multi-destination itinerary from scratch, running a large group or wedding booking from first inquiry to final departure, talking a client through a major trip disruption, or putting together a curated package for a niche traveler, and write it up as a detailed, honest account of exactly how it's done. Not a checklist. A proper account, told the way a good writer tells it, with the judgment calls and instincts included.
Once you sign up, you'll complete a short, paid writing assessment (compensated at $9/h). Joining our talent pool for this project also opens the door to similar paid projects in future.
Everything is fully remote and ad hoc, on a freelance basis, with full control over which projects you accept. Payments are made via PayPal.
What you’ll bring
- 3 to 5 years of professional experience as a travel agent, travel consultant, or similar
- A real interest in writing. Any background works here: academic writing, blogging, journaling, freelance work, or simply being the person on the team who writes the most thoughtful client emails. You don't need to be published, just someone who enjoys the craft.
- A preference for depth over brevity. You'd rather explain something properly than gloss over it.
Tasks
- Pick one task. Choose a single long-term task that's a genuine, recurring, critical part of your work as a travel agent.
- Write it thoroughly, in your own voice, from start to finish. Depending on complexity, outlines typically run 5 to 25 pages.
- Stick to one task per outline. This is about real depth on a single process, not a tour of your whole role.
- Include the steps, the tools and information you draw on, the decision points and the edge cases. The kind of detail that makes something worth reading, and useful for an AI model trying to learn from it.
