Most AI projects talk about datasets. Our community actually built one.
Thanks to our alpha testers:
✅ 250K tasks completed
✅ 670K EFFECT distributed
✅ Effect AI Scripted Speech 1.0 now live on Mozilla’s Data Collective 👇

The Canva app idea isn’t solely about one platform.
It is about a larger question:
Where should human feedback live?
Inside design tools?
Inside AI agent workflows?
Inside research pipelines?
Inside creator platforms?
Effect is built for the moments where human judgment still matters.

One idea we’re excited to discuss with the community:
Effect inside creative tools.
Imagine requesting human feedback on a design directly from a platform like Canva.
Not generic AI feedback. Real people reviewing clarity, layout, message, and quality.
That is the kind of workflow Effect can power.

Effect’s next chapter is not just about more tasks.
It is about giving workers, builders, stakers, and community members a clearer place in the network.
Effect Passport is part of that direction.
Identity. Stake. Access. Participation.
A front door for what comes next.

Monday, we start with Effect Passport.
Before we get there, think about this:
Your work in Effect should be easier to see.
Your stake should have a clearer purpose.
Your skills should matter.
Your participation should carry forward.
Your place in the network should feel more connected.
That’s the direction we want to explore with the community next week.

A few days ago, we shared a little preview of what we’ll be talking about next week.
• Effect Passport
• DAO discussions
• App ideas
• Staking
• Human feedback inside real workflows
All of these are connected in some way, but the bigger question is what they should become together.
How should workers, builders, stakers, apps, and AI agents actually interact inside Effect?
That’s the conversation we want to start opening up!
Monday, we begin.

Next week, we’re going to start sharing more about where Effect is heading.
More access.
More community input.
More ways for workers, builders, and stakers to shape the network.
Effect Passport.
DAO discussions.
App ideas.
Human feedback inside real workflows.
Creative tools like Canva.
These pieces are starting to connect. We want our community in the conversation while the ideas are still being shaped, not only after they’re finished.
First post drops Monday.

The next generation of AI apps will not be fully autonomous black boxes.
They’ll be workflows made of agents, human workers, validation layers, routing logic, and transparent settlement.
Effect AI is building the human layer for that system, connecting human intelligence to AI workflows when judgment, feedback, and verification are needed.

This is the point.
AI agents need more than model intelligence. They need reliability, validation, and clear human handoffs.
Effect AI is building the human-in-the-loop task layer that helps make agentic workflows work in production.
May 11
First large-scale study of AI agents in production just dropped: 306 practitioners, 20 case studies, 26 domains.
(Pan et al, Berkeley collaborators, arXiv:2512.04123)
The findings that should reframe every "agentic AI" pitch you sit through this quarter:
• 68% of production agents execute ≤10 steps before human intervention
• 70% use prompting off-the-shelf models, NOT fine-tuning
• 74% rely primarily on human evaluation
• 66% are deployed in latency-tolerant workflows
The top challenge isn't model intelligence. It's reliability.
The vendors selling "fully autonomous, fine-tuned, instant-response" agents are pitching the opposite of what's working in production.
The winners are simple, controllable, human-in-the-loop systems with measured handoffs.

Effect is making the worker experience clearer, faster, and easier to navigate.
A refreshed dashboard, improved task campaign layout, and simpler flow for connecting, working, and getting paid are coming soon.
More in the next development update.

Alpha 5 Jedis, your bonus will arrive.
This week, we will be rewarding the top Effect workers who mastered the tasks, stayed sharp, and brought the Force to the network.
May the 4th be with you, Alphas

We just ran one of our most intensive alpha phases yet. Real tasks, real pressure on the system. Here’s what we learned 👇

Big question we’re answering: Can complex human AI workflows run reliably in a decentralized system? We’re getting closer.
