Neon, a buzzy app that pays to record your calls for AI training data, goes offline to address a security scandal

Neon's premise is simple: You allow the app to record yourself during phone calls. The company said it pays 30 cents per minute for calls with other Neon users, or half of that if the other caller isn't on Neon. In turn, the app says the data is "anonymized and sold to trusted tech companies." "Phone companies profit off your data. Now, you can too," Neon's website reads.

This new app pays you to use your call recordings for AI training - but is it worth it?

Only calls made or received through the Neon app are recorded. Any conversations you have through the regular phone app on your iPhone or Android phone are excluded. Neon will pay you 30 cents per minute when you speak with another Neon user. In that case, both sides of the conversation are recorded. You'll get 15 cents per minute when you speak with a non-Neon user.
