Google Task Mate is an app that has the potential to help users earn money for completing certain tasks. The app has tasks that fall under two main categories, sitting and field tasks, which means that the tasks can either be completed from the comfort of home or the user will need to venture outside. On the app, users will be compensated for tasks like recording or transcribing sentences or capturing images of storefronts to support mapping services.
With Task Mate, the experience is gamified and users will be recognized for their completed tasks by earning not only cash but also levels.
Currently in beta mode, Task Mate is limited to selected testers with referral codes. Google Task Mate will be used to "help improve mapping services and bring businesses in your local area online."
