Talking to an owner in five minutes
What to say, and what to send after.
Tell the owner Colby pays companies for video of their crews' normal work. Then send your link. The owner leaves a number, and Colby calls to explain the rest. There is nothing to sign that day.

What to say
- Colby pays companies whose crews do accepted tasks for video of that work.
- A crew member wears a phone on a head strap, tipped down at the hands. It films the hands, the tools and the work. It does not scan the room.
- AI and robot teams use the video to learn how hands-on work is done.
- Colby sets up the phones and ships them. The crew does the job it already does.
- Colby pays the company for every accepted hour. The rate is in the company's own contract.
Check that the work fits
Look at the list of accepted tasks together. If the crew does work on that list, the company can record it.
What to send
Copy your link from Share in your portal and send it to the owner. The owner opens it and leaves a number, and Colby calls them. There is nothing to sign that day.
If your link has a rate, the owner sees it on the page. Colby confirms it in the contract the company signs.
Pages to print or send
Each one is free and fits on one page.
- Letter to the building manager Asks for an OK to record at a place where the crew works.
- Crew sheet What the crew records and keeps out of the picture, in English and Spanish.
- Ramp-up plan The first six weeks, step by step.
What not to promise
- A rate. Only the rate on your link, and Colby confirms it in the contract.
- Hours. Only accepted hours count.
- A signature from you. You never sign a contract. The company signs its contract with Colby.
