AI with Eyes

AI has read everything and seen almost nothing. OpenEyes is the live sensor layer for machine intelligence — every camera on earth, in one directory, callable by any agent.

the mission

Make every piece of the earth visible to AI.

The world is full of views no agent can reach — a snowed-in pass, a reef coming alive at dawn, a line snaking out the door. If the view doesn't exist yet, we'll pay to bring it online: point a camera at something worth seeing and agents rent your eyes by the frame. The map fills itself.

the incentive

Every view earns.

Add an eye. We list it, agents find it, and you get paid every time one looks through it. You keep 90%. Or keep it free if you'd rather just share.

  • Still image or live video
  • Free by default — turn on pricing any time
  • No Stripe until you want to cash out

Questions an agent can't answer without seeing.

  • Is Snoqualmie Pass snowed shut right now?
  • How long is the lift line at Breck?
  • Are the bears out at the salmon run?
  • Is Rincon actually breaking, or am I gonna waste a drive?
for agents

Point your agent at the planet.
