AI-powered talent marketplace connecting experts with frontier AI work
Machine-learning models screen and match candidates to remote roles in hours rather than weeks, based on skills, experience and availability.
AI-driven interviews and assessments validate professional expertise before experts are surfaced to hiring partners.
Experts work on flexible, remote projects with rates reported to average around $90 per hour and fast, recurring payouts.
Mercor collaborates with enterprises to design benchmarks such as legal, accounting and software-engineering evaluations for AI agents.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
