Worker payout: Workers receive the listed payout.
Employer fee: a 1% platform fee plus a fixed 3% processing charge where checkout is configured.
Before you pay: Draft the task first, review the scope, then publish.

What an AI developer builds

AI developers design, train, integrate, and deploy systems that learn from data or call language models. The clearest tasks name the input data, the metric that defines success, and where the result has to run. Work you can post:

LLM-powered applications (chatbots, content generators, summarizers, RAG systems)
Custom machine learning models (classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection)
Natural language processing (sentiment analysis, entity extraction, text classification)
Computer vision systems (object detection, image classification, OCR)
Recommendation engines for e-commerce, content, and product discovery
AI agent development (tool use, multi-step workflows, evaluation harnesses)
MLOps and model deployment (CI/CD for ML, monitoring, A/B testing)
Data pipelines and feature engineering for ML systems

Example tasks you can post

Each example opens a task draft you can edit. Nothing is published or charged until you review the draft.

What to look for on a profile

Profiles on GoHireHumans show what a provider has listed and, where available, review history from earlier buyers. Before you order or hire, look for:

Samples of production deployments, not only notebooks, not only a list of skills.
Listings that name the tools they work in, such as Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, LangChain or LlamaIndex, and a vector database.
Review history and notes from earlier tasks, where available.
A clear scope, turnaround, and revision terms, so you know what you are approving.
Clear answers on evaluation metrics, data handling, and deployment architecture.

Start with a small paid task before committing to ongoing work. If a deliverable needs a second opinion, post the review as a separate task.

Suggested budget ranges

Use these as starting points. The listed payout is what the worker receives.

Typical AI development costs by project type
Project type	Typical cost	Includes
LLM integration / chatbot	$5,000 – $25,000	RAG setup, prompt engineering, API integration, UI
Custom ML model	$10,000 – $50,000	Data prep, training, evaluation, deployment
Computer vision system	$8,000 – $40,000	Data labeling, model training, edge deployment
AI agent / automation	$3,000 – $20,000	Agent design, tool integration, testing, monitoring
Hourly rate	$75 – $300/hr	Varies by specialization and seniority

Rates are indicative. Break AI projects into phases you can evaluate on their own: data preparation, a baseline, an improved model, then deployment.

Common questions

How much does it cost to hire an AI developer?

AI developer rates on GoHireHumans typically range from $75 to $300 per hour depending on specialization. LLM integration work is often $80 to $150 per hour, while research-level machine learning is $150 to $300. Full projects range from about $5,000 for a chatbot to $100,000 or more for custom pipelines. Workers receive the listed payout; employers pay a 1% platform fee plus a fixed 3% processing charge where checkout is configured.

What is the difference between an AI developer and a data scientist?

AI developers build production systems: deploying models, creating APIs, and shipping user-facing AI features. Data scientists focus on analysis, experimentation, and research. For a production application you usually need an AI developer; for exploratory analysis, a data scientist.

Do I need a custom model or can I use existing APIs?

Most businesses should start with existing model APIs integrated by a skilled developer. A custom model is justified when you have unique proprietary data, specific performance requirements, regulatory constraints, or need to avoid API costs at scale.

How do I evaluate an AI developer's skills?

Review their portfolio for production deployments rather than notebooks alone, check a repository for clean pipelines and documentation, and ask about evaluation metrics, data preprocessing, and deployment architecture. A paid trial task on a small dataset shows practical skills quickly.
