Figure, Introducing Index, 18 Oct 2026- What it wants
- First-person video of household chores and of work "inside businesses such as logistics centers, restaurants, factories, and offices".
- What it publishes about price
- Pays its Creators for their videos, at rates it does not publish: "We’ve paid out $15M to Creators to date that have contributed to our data". A business can book a Creator to come and do tasks; Figure does not say it pays the business.

over $1B the next 12 months on data and compute
Figure launched Index, a paid first-person video programme, after it tried buying data and found vendors could not meet its bar; it says it has paid creators $15 million to date. The $1 billion covers data and compute together, so it is not a data budget alone.
