Contractors connected to OpenAI through partner Handshake AI reportedly received a request to submit real workplace tasks along with the finished deliverables. The idea behind OpenAI contractor real work uploads is to capture how professionals actually complete end-to-end work, using real outputs rather than short explanations.
These submissions reportedly need to include original files such as documents, PDFs, slide decks, spreadsheets, images and code. By gathering this material, OpenAI can compare next-gen AI agents against a human baseline for accuracy, completeness and workflow quality.
What The Submission Package May Include:
- The task prompt or assignment used at work
- The completed deliverable (final version)
- Supporting materials (templates, data tables or code snippets)
- Multiple file formats, not just written descriptions
Contractors are reportedly instructed to remove personal details and sensitive information before uploading anything. Reports mention guidance and a referenced “Superstar Scrubbing” tool designed to anonymize content, especially when files contain names, client identifiers or internal systems.
Even with careful anonymization, OpenAI contractor real work uploads could raise legal and compliance concerns if contractors accidentally share confidential employer or client materials.
