Is Figure Index legit?
A heavily funded robotics company launched Index publicly on 2026-08-25 after four months in stealth, and Forbes covered the launch. User reviews are still sparse: the App Store has 8 ratings (4.9), one from a user still on the waitlist. Trustpilot's only figure.ai review is about a job interview, not Index.
Does it pay? unclear
What you do
Apply as a 'Creator' in Figure's Index app. If accepted, Figure sends you a recording device and you record your day doing everyday tasks at home or at work (cooking, cleaning, laundry, shop or warehouse work) to train its Helix robot AI. The app also lets homes and businesses book Creators to do chores on-site while recording.
The details
- Pay

As published: Accepted Creators get paid by the minute while recording their tasks; no per-minute rate is published. Figure says it has paid Creators $15M (announcement and app listing) or $35M (Index page). - Open in

No eligible-country list is published. Figure says anyone can become a Creator and reports Creators in 105+ countries (app listing), 108 (launch post) or 111 (Index page). Entry is by application with a waitlist ('Demand is currently very high'). Available on iPhone (iOS 18+) and Android. - You need

- Minimum age

- Company
- Figure AI Inc. (San Jose, CA), maker of the Figure humanoid robots
- Backers
- Figure raised more than $1B in a Series C at a $39B post-money valuation (Sept 16, 2025), led by Parkway Venture Capital with Brookfield, NVIDIA, Macquarie Capital, Intel Capital, Salesforce, Qualcomm Ventures and others. At the Index launch it said it would spend over $1B on data and compute in the next 12 months.
What we couldn’t confirm
Per-minute rate, payout method and payout schedule are not published. Figure's own figures conflict across pages (paid to Creators $15M vs $35M; 105+, 108 or 111 countries), probably because the pages were updated at different times. age_min 18 comes from Figure's general privacy policy (no data from under-18s) and the App Store's 18+ rating; the policy doesn't name Index, and Google Play rates the app Everyone. No Index-specific privacy policy was found.
We are not affiliated with Figure Index. Pay and availability change; confirm on the official site before you start. Never pay to get work.
