How tasks work on Bookxy: from brief to accepted submission

Every task on Bookxy follows the same shape, whichever category it belongs to. Learning that shape once makes every future task faster.

The brief

Open a task and you see the brief first. It explains what the task maker wants, and it may include a written explanation, a link to an external reference, or an attached image or media file that is the actual subject of the work. Read all of it before you start. Most rejected submissions come from someone answering the question they assumed was being asked.

The response method

Below the brief, the task states how you should respond. Some tasks want a written answer in your own words. Some want a file upload, such as a photo, a recording or a document. Some are multiple choice. Some ask you to pick between two model outputs and say which is better. The response method and the brief are shown together so you can see exactly what is expected while you write.

Doing the work

Take the brief literally. If it asks for three sentences, three sentences is the answer, not one and not ten. If it asks for a photograph in daylight, a dim indoor photo will be rejected even if the object is correct. If it specifies a language, answer in that language. Task makers are usually building a dataset, and consistency is the whole point of the exercise.

Submitting

Submit from within the task. On a long task the submission panel scrolls and keeps its action button pinned at the bottom, so you can re-read the brief while you compose your answer without losing your place.

Review and acceptance

Submissions are reviewed by the task maker or by automated grading, depending on the task type. Accepted work credits your wallet. Rejected work usually comes with a reason, and the reason is worth reading closely because the same task maker often posts batches of similar tasks.

Building a record

Consistent acceptance is what earns access to bigger batches, so treat early low value tasks as the audition they effectively are.
