A very different offer has come to the fore for individuals living in New York who have difficulty coping with housing issues. The Shift platform, implemented by the German enterprise MicroAGI, offers housing cleaning service completely free of charge.

The only condition for this service is that homeowners allow the cleaning process to be recorded from start to finish. These images, obtained through special cameras worn by cleaning staff, are used to train the new generation of home robots.

Free cleaning in exchange for data collection

Users who register through the Shift platform can benefit from services such as organizing the refrigerator or pantry, as well as classic cleaning tasks such as sweeping, dusting and washing dishes. The company aims to enable robotic systems to learn tasks in the home environment more effectively by recording the movements of cleaners within the home.

The platform states that it automatically anonymizes documents containing faces, names and personal information in order to protect the privacy of users. Although it is stated that sensitive data such as screens, ID cards and private notes will be blurred, there is no clear information about whether the recorded images can be deleted from the data set later.

The company emphasizes that independent cleaning professionals are thoroughly examined by its business partners to ensure the safety of homeowners. However, the terms of service state that the company does not accept liability in cases such as theft, injury or property damage that may occur during cleaning.

Future plans and expansion goals

MicroAGI founder and CEO Bercan Kilic announced that the project will not be limited to New York only. It was announced that the Shift platform will soon begin its operations in cities such as London, Munich and Zurich.

The company states that it pays tens of thousands of individuals around the world to record repetitive physical work. This system, designed to train future residential robots, draws attention as a new data collection method in the technology world.

This free cleaning service, offered for a limited time, promises a very extraordinary experience for users in New York. Would you allow your personal space to be recorded in exchange for cleaning your home?
