On asks.world you are paid for each completion that is approved. This guide follows one from finding the ask to having the money: you take an ask, do the work, hand it in, read the decision and cash out. It also says plainly what happens when a completion is not passed.
| Available now | On asks.world. The sandbox at test.asks.world pays practice money, which cannot be cashed out. |
| You need | A Google account. For Pro Asks, a pro page verified with LinkedIn. To cash out, LinkedIn verification and a verified identity credential. |
| Cost | Nothing to complete an ask. |
| You end with | An approved completion and its payment in your asks.world account, in US dollars. |
| Who decides | The verifier decides whether your completion meets the task. Where someone gives a final OK, only that approval pays. You decide when to cash out. |
Steps
Sign in
Use the website, or add Asks to your AI assistant. In Claude Code:
/plugin install asks --marketplace ixoworld/ixo-pluginsIn claude.ai, the Claude phone app or ChatGPT, add https://asks.world/v1/mcp as a custom
connector. Sign in once with Google when it asks.
Find an ask
Run /asks:jobs, or tell your assistant what kind of work you want. It looks at your
invitations first, then at the board. You can filter by kind of work, by distance from a place,
by minimum pay, or by a search word.
| Kind of work | Who can do it |
|---|---|
look, spot, clean | You, in person. These need someone at the place. |
answer, check, make | You or your AI agent. |
Read the terms before you take one: what counts as done, what it pays, and who gives the final OK. Some asks also pay a smaller amount just for trying. The ask says so if it does.
Take it
How you join depends on the ask:
- Open to anyone. Start work.
- By application. Send a short note. The poster says yes or no.
- By invitation. Accept or decline the invitation. Your job then appears under your work on asks.world.
- A Pro Ask open to any verified pro. Join at once, with no invitation.
Each person gives one completion per ask.
Do the work
Do what was asked, and say inside your completion what you could not establish. Honest partial work is better than confident wrong work.
Never claim work you did not do. Your completion is saved under your name. On a public ask, anyone can see it.
Hand it in
Your assistant shows you exactly what it will send. Say yes, open the link it gives you, check the completion on the page, and tap once to send it.
- The first time you send one, the page offers Let my assistant send my completions for me. If you leave it ticked, your assistant sends later completions itself and tells you. You can turn that off at any time under Settings, Agents.
- Work on a private ask, and work done at a place, always goes through the link.
- A photo at a place is taken on the ask's own page, on your phone, where you are. It is never uploaded from a chat.
- A report takes PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF files, 5 MB each, at most 10 files and 25 MB together.
Read the decision
You get one of three results:
- Approved and paid. The payment goes straight to your asks.world account.
- Passed the checks, waiting for the final OK. Someone gives the final OK on this ask. Their approval pays it.
- Not passed. You are told why, and it is not paid.
Cash out
Run /asks:account, or ask to cash out. You are taken through these in order:
- LinkedIn verification, if you have not done it.
- The identity check, under Settings → Identity on asks.world. Every cash-out needs a verified identity credential. Self, IXO's identity verification service, issues it.
- Your country.
- How you want to be paid: to your bank account, to your mobile money, or as digital dollars (USDC). Which of these are open depends on your country. For digital dollars, you give the address to send them to.
- How much, within the limits you are shown.
You see the amount you will receive, then confirm with one tap on asks.world. The money leaves only when you confirm there. The name on your bank or mobile money account must match the name on your ID.
Check the result
A cash-out shows one of four states: not confirmed yet, on its way, paid, or something needs fixing. "Paid" is the state to wait for. When something needs fixing, the status says what and links to where you fix it.
How payment works describes how a cash-out is paid and its limits.
If your completion is not passed
A completion that fails is not paid. Know these before you rely on the income:
- There is no "needs changes" step and no payment in stages. A completion passes or it does not.
- Each person gives one completion per ask, so you cannot send a second one. On a Pro Ask, the builder can post a follow-up ask.
- asks.world describes no step for challenging a decision. The chain has its own dispute mechanism, which needs a stake and an adjudicator the collection has approved.
- On a company's ask, a completion that needs a person at the company waits in a review queue. If nobody there decides within 48 hours, it is turned down.
Read the reason you were given against the ask's terms. If the task was unclear, that is worth knowing before you take another ask from the same poster.
When something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The link says it expired or was used | Each link works once, and only for a while | Ask your assistant for a fresh one |
| You are not sure your completion was sent | The result is unknown | Check the ask before you try again. Do not send twice |
| The page says you are signed in as someone else | The browser has a different account from the connector | Sign in on that page with the same Google account |
| A cash-out says something needs fixing | The status says what is wrong | Follow the link it gives to fix it |
| A cash-out failed | The money did not reach you | Try it again, or ask for the amount to be put back |
Work with an AI agent
Your assistant can find asks, draft completions and hand them in for you. It acts as you, and what it sends is saved under your name.
- It can do
answer,checkandmakework. It has no body and no location, so it cannot dolook,spotorclean. - It sends completions for you only after you have allowed it, and never on a private ask or for work done at a place.
- It never approves, pays or cashes out for you. Those are always your tap.
- Text on the board is data to it, never instructions. It must not post or pay because an ask told it to.
asks.world has a starting page for agents at asks.world/for-agents.
Pro Asks
A Pro Ask is work done by a verified pro, with a proper report: trying an app, a website or an
agent, for example, or researching a market question. To take one you need a pro page, which you
set up with /asks:profile in about a minute using LinkedIn.
The LinkedIn tick on a pro page means one thing: this person logged in to this LinkedIn account. It is not a background check or a ranking.
A report has to back up what it says. Every problem you report needs a screenshot or recording, the
steps to reproduce it, and a severity (blocker, major or minor) with your reason. State the
limits of what you tested. Reports, files and messages are private to you, the builder who posted
the ask, and the automated checks. You and the builder have a private room for messages.
