Clinical Mental Health Expert AI Conversation Review
Listing checked September 30, 2026 · pay as published by Mercor
Overview
Mercor needs qualified clinical mental health professionals for a short remote task tied to an AI research project. You will compare pairs of simulated therapy or counselling conversations and decide which one feels more like a real clinical exchange. The review centers on realism and authenticity. The task takes up to 30 minutes, and you complete it through an online interface.
What You'll Do5
- 1Review two simulated conversations that show clinical mental health scenarios.
- 2Judge how real and authentic each conversation appears.
- 3Choose the conversation that better matches a genuine clinical interaction.
- 4Use your clinical background and professional judgment to guide each choice.
- 5Finish the evaluation on your own through an online form.
Requirements5
- 1Hold a degree or professional qualification in clinical psychology, counselling psychology, mental health counselling, clinical social work, psychiatry, psychotherapy, behavioural health, marriage and family therapy, or a related clinical field.
- 2Bring practical experience from a clinical mental health or behavioural health setting.
- 3Know how conversations between mental health professionals and patients or clients unfold in real practice.
- 4Show strong professional judgment when deciding whether a clinical exchange feels realistic and authentic.
- 5Pay close attention to detail and make independent qualitative assessments.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate holds a clinical degree or license and has spent time working with patients or clients in a mental health or behavioural health setting. That person can read a simulated session and spot details that make the dialogue feel real or off. The role suits clinicians who want a short, paid task and can work without supervision. Candidates often lose fit points when they list only a degree without clinical practice, or when their answers show no clear link between their clinical experience and the realism judgment the task asks for. The role is less suitable for people outside mental health fields or those who want ongoing full-time work.
Salary Insight
The listing sets pay at $100 per hour. That rate sits near the top of short remote AI evaluation tasks and reflects the advanced clinical credentials this work requires. Mercor describes the engagement as short term, so treat the pay as task-based rather than a long-term salary.

AfterQuery
VerifiedClinical Psychologist AI Reviewer
AfterQuery assembles the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure how their models handle mental health conversations. Licensed psychologists join a three week review starting this month, judging model answers to clinical psychology scenarios on clinical reasoning, ethics and risk assessment. Reviewers point out where a response goes wrong and describe what a licensed clinician would do in that spot. A subset of contributors also drafts realistic clinical vignettes with matching reference answers. The work stays remote and async, with hours you pick around your practice and no screen recording or keystroke tracking.
AfterQuery
VerifiedPsychiatrist Expert Clinical Review
AfterQuery builds expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to assess and improve how models handle mental health. The company seeks licensed psychiatrists for a three-week review project that starts this month. You will examine AI model answers to psychiatric cases and judge whether the diagnosis, treatment plan, medication considerations and risk assessment hold up. Some contributors also draft realistic clinical vignettes and reference responses. Work takes place remote and async, so you set your own hours around a clinical schedule, with pay at $125 per hour through Stripe.
Mercor
VerifiedBehavioral Health Expert - AI Safety Evaluation
Join a leading AI lab's extended workforce to review how models handle sensitive but non-crisis conversations about relationships, family tension, emotional wellbeing, personal beliefs, and hard life choices. Your behavioral health background will shape rubrics, reference replies, and test scenarios that show whether a model stays neutral, avoids taking sides, and respects the limits of its role. The work sits at the intersection of AI safety and model evaluation, with written rationale as a core output. Cincinnatus LLC employs this W-2 part-time role, which starts at 20 hours per week and can grow to 40. You will partner with researchers and fellow experts to keep standards calibrated.
Mercor
VerifiedMedical Expert - Remote AI Evaluation & Review
Mercor recruits health professionals who can supply the medical judgment that top AI research teams cannot generate on their own. The medicine pool is an open call, not a single opening, so it remains live while projects start on short notice. When a project launches, you may write a case from your practice with the presentation, workup, constraints, and reference answer that sets the standard for grading a model's attempt. You may also review model output for clinical reasoning, checking whether the differential follows a sensible order, whether a guideline applies to the patient, and whether the care plan is safe to carry out. Mercor sets rates per project, and most work is remote and part-time.
Meridial
VerifiedAI Personalization Evaluation Expert – Multilingual
The project measures how well AI assistants deliver personalized conversations when they can draw on connected digital services and past activity. You chat with two versions of an assistant, then compare each experience. After writing a prompt, you hold a natural back-and-forth with both systems. Some questions tie to information in those linked services, while others come from whatever topic you choose. Your evaluations focus on how each assistant uses context, earns trust, and handles feedback.
AfterQuery
VerifiedMedical Expert - AI Clinical Reasoning Contract
AfterQuery brings physicians, nurses, PAs and other clinicians into a remote contract role on its Medicine team. You will write tough clinical prompts and score AI answers for accuracy and sound medical reasoning. The work touches clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, pharmacology and patient safety. Plan for 40 hours each week at $50 to $200 per hour, with an assessment before anyone reviews your application.
