Your next Bitcoin reward could start with a sink full of dishes.

The sMiles Bitcoin rewards app gives your iPhone camera an unexpected job: recording everyday activities to help train AI. Eligible users can earn up to $12 per approved hour of footage by filming tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and gardening. Yes, chores can become paid AI-training content.

Why Would AI Pay for Your Chores?

AI models need real-world examples to understand how people complete everyday tasks. Your first-person recordings provide those examples. A phone headmount captures your point of view while leaving your hands free. You submit the footage through Minute Data, then cash out approved earnings through sMiles.

The interesting twist? You are not making videos for followers. You are making videos for machines to learn from. sMiles lists 70+ task options, and recording your face is not required.

How to Earn Bitcoin With Your iPhone

Start by downloading sMiles for iPhone and Minute Data for iPhone from the App Store. Both apps are free to download.

You will also need a phone headmount. sMiles lists iPhone 12 and newer, excluding iPhone 16e and iPhone 17e, as supported devices for these tasks. Check compatibility before buying a mount.

Create your Minute Data account using the same email address as sMiles. Enter the organization code NQP8AWKH, connect your Minute Data account inside sMiles, and activate it using the code emailed to you.

Next, choose an available task in Minute Data and record it from your head-mounted phone. Keep your hands fully visible and the scene well lit. Each submission must be at least two minutes long.

How Much Can You Actually Earn?

sMiles currently advertises rates of $4–$12 per approved hour of footage. The important word is approved: this is not a guaranteed hourly wage for every minute spent recording. Final approval can take up to six weeks.

The company also advertises a $5 Bitcoin bonus after your first approved hour of AI-training tasks. Check the offer in the app before starting.

Where Are AI-Training Tasks Available?

Supported markets include the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates, among others. Check the current country requirements before getting started.

Before filming, remove personal documents and sensitive information from view, and review the recording and privacy terms.

For eligible iPhone owners, the appeal is simple: the chores already need doing. Now the footage could be worth something.
