Neon operates a mobile app that enables consenting users to monetize their personal data by recording conversations, removing personally identifying information, and licensing anonymized audio and video to vetted AI labs. The app reached the No. 2 spot on the U.S. App Store’s free charts within eight days of launch, and Neon has since expanded beyond voice into studio-grade conversational audio and 720p video call recordings. Since January, the company has licensed over 400,000 total hours of audio to five AI labs and has made over 100,000 payments to users. Neon requires that all participants in recordings are consenting Neon users and strips names and phone numbers before selling recordings. The company positions itself as a marketplace addressing both user compensation and AI demand for diverse training data.
