Is Invisible Technologies (Meridial) Legit?

By SOJI Research · Updated November 9, 2026

By the SOJI editorial team · Reviewed 9 November 2026

Meridial is the expert network run by Invisible Technologies, where independent contributors take on AI-training projects such as labeling data and stress-testing AI systems. Invisible's own site points freelancers to Meridial for "Expert opportunities". This guide sticks to what the two sites publish, says where they leave gaps and keeps third-party opinions out of the facts. Last checked: 9 November 2026.

Key takeaways

  • Meridial's pages describe contributors as independent contractors, not employees of Meridial or Invisible Technologies.
  • Pay per hour: n/d. The site says earnings are set per project and a rate range is shown for each engagement, but it gives no general figure, and the SOJI Pay Index does not cover Meridial.
  • Its FAQ says payment is every two weeks to the account details in your profile.
  • There is no guarantee of work: matching depends on project availability.

What the official pages say

The Invisible Technologies homepage describes the company as a provider of applied AI infrastructure that also builds training data for AI labs. Its expert network is called Meridial. The Meridial site calls it a network of vetted experts that Invisible screens and tests, then sorts by skill, language and domain. It names fields such as law, medicine and coding, and reports "24,000+" vetted experts.

The FAQ does not state eligible countries, background checks, time tracking or tax handling, so we do not describe them. If you work from abroad, see how to get paid by AI training platforms from abroad.

Is Meridial legit? A checklist

  1. Official domains. Start from invisibletech.ai or meridial.ai only. Never share ID documents or passwords by email or chat.
  2. No fee to apply on the pages we read. Walk away from anyone who asks you to pay for access.
  3. Contractor terms. You sign a Statement of Work, so read it. Our guide on what to read before signing an AI training agreement lists the clauses to look for.
  4. Work is not guaranteed. Plan your income as if projects can pause. The FTC job scams guide lists signs of fake offers, and how to spot legitimate AI training jobs applies the same ideas to this field.

Frequently asked questions

Is Invisible Technologies legit?

Its public site describes an established AI-data company, and Meridial's FAQ describes a contractor model with scoped projects. We cannot verify anyone's personal experience, so read the current terms yourself.

Is Meridial the same as Invisible Technologies?

Invisible's homepage lists Meridial as its expert network and links to it for expert opportunities.

How much does Meridial pay?

The site gives no general hourly figure. It says rates are set per project and shown before you begin.

Are Meridial workers employees?

No. The FAQ says you are an independent contractor, not an employee of Meridial or Invisible Technologies.

Limitations

We are an independent site. We read the public Invisible homepage and the Meridial home and FAQ pages only, not logged-in dashboards or the Statement of Work, and we cannot guarantee any outcome. Invisible Technologies is not a SOJI partner and SOJI earns nothing if you join. Policies and rates change, so the live terms are the right source.
