The Rundown: Freelance service platform Fiverr just launched Fiverr Go, a new suite of AI tools that lets gig workers train models on their work and automate future jobs, while also announcing an equity program giving top performers shares in the company.
The details:
Freelancers can train personal AI Creation Models for $25/mo, allowing them to sell AI-generated versions of their work while retaining ownership rights.
A $29 monthly Personal AI Assistant helps manage client communications and handle routine tasks, using past interactions to provide customized responses.
Access is initially limited to "thousands" of vetted Level 2 and above freelancers in specific categories like voiceover, design, and copywriting.
The company is also launching an equity program that will give top-performing freelancers shares in Fiverr, though specific details haven't been disclosed.
Why it matters: AI is in the process of upending traditional gig work, and Fiverr is attempting to give freelancers a stake in automation instead of competing against it. While the platform could help some creators scale, it also will likely face some backlash from creatives who may feel that opting out of AI is becoming unavoidable.
