Join the AlphaHelp train better AI and get rewarded for how you play
A gameplay clip shows what happened. Your perspective explains why: what you noticed, what you were trying to do, and why you chose your next move. That real human judgment is what makes your gameplay useful to researchers.
Record the games you already play, choose what you want to share, and add a few quick notes about the moments that mattered. Kifu prepares your contribution for research teams and rewards you when it is accepted. You play your way, choose what to share, and earn XP for the value you add.
You decide what is recorded, submitted, and kept
Recording starts only when you press your hotkey, never on its own, with an on-screen indicator and a tray icon showing the live state. Kifu captures only the game window and your inputs while the game is focused. It never records audio, your webcam, your clipboard, or anything in another app.
Your sessions stay in your own account, and nothing is submitted for review until you choose to submit it. You can delete any recording from our servers at any time, right from the web app. Nothing is published, shared, or added to a dataset without your review. Read the full recording details →
What a session records
- The game window's pixels, that window only
- Your keyboard and mouse, only while the game is focused
- Basic hardware and game info (GPU, resolution, window title) so research teams can trust the data
What it never records
- Audio: no mic, no system sound
- Webcam, clipboard, or any other window or app
- Anything you type after tabbing away. Input capture pauses the instant the game loses focus and resumes only when it is focused again
XP for verified contributions
Kifu's optional rewards program records verified work as XP. Your dashboard keeps pending and approved XP visible alongside the journey that earned it.
Pending XP means Kifu has registered verified work. Approved XP means a human has reviewed and accepted it. Every award stays itemized in your history.
XP is a private alpha score. It is not money, is not transferable or redeemable, and joining Rewards is always optional and separate from contributing recordings.
Mark the moments that mattered
When a session is done, you review it in the web app, mark the points where you made a real decision, and answer a few short questions about each one: what you were going for, what your options were, and how it turned out. It takes about ten minutes.
This is the part that makes the data valuable. It captures the reasoning behind the play, not just the actions on screen. "I don't remember" is always an acceptable answer. Honest gaps are worth more to research teams than invented stories.
