Is it safe
Understand what you are approving
The licensing agreement permits AI Characters, authorised training and HyperKnown promotion. Individually offered projects require your acceptance and signature. A separate Licence Programme opt-in approves the uses disclosed by that programme.
Per-project consent
Companies may use Outputs within a signed project or a separately opted-in Licence Programme. Scope, territory, term and clause 7 restrictions continue to apply.
Content boundaries
Set what you will not appear in, such as alcohol, gambling or politics. Companies see the boundaries before they send a brief.
Exclusive platform licence
Pylon has an exclusive AI licence over submitted materials while you participate. You retain ownership and may do ordinary personal, editorial and live-performance work, subject to approved project exclusivity.
Your ID stays private
Stripe runs the identity check. HyperKnown never stores your document and companies never see it; only the Verified badge is shown.
Decline anything
Declining a brief costs you nothing and is never held against you.

A two-minute ID check
A photo of your passport, driving licence or national ID and a quick selfie, handled by Stripe. Then you are live.
Before your first paid project you also record a 20-second permission video, which stays private, and add the bank account your fee is paid to. Your account shows the steps required for review and payment.
Questions people ask first
Each brief comes with a flat fee and clear terms for you to review. You choose whether to accept. You receive 100% of your agreed fee; the company pays HyperKnown's commission on top.
Project briefs require your acceptance and signature; a separately opted-in Licence Programme approves its disclosed uses without individual project approval. Clause 3 also permits persistent AI Characters, authorised training and royalty-free HyperKnown promotion. Clause 7 restrictions apply to Outputs. Raw identity documents are never licensed to companies.
No. You sign one licensing agreement that sets the rules, then approve project briefs or separately opt in to a disclosed Licence Programme. Pylon receives an exclusive platform licence over submitted materials for AI commercial licensing during participation, with disclosed existing commitments excluded. You retain ownership and may undertake ordinary personal, editorial and live-performance work subject to approved project exclusivity. The agreement also grants persistent model, training and promotional permissions.
You must be at least 18, create a profile, sign the licensing agreement and complete identity verification. Stripe currently provides verification; clause 9 requires Australian 100-point identification. Follow the documents and checks requested for your account.
Companies are licensing a real person, so every person verifies their identity with Stripe Identity, and HyperKnown reviews each profile before companies can see it. HyperKnown never stores your ID and companies never see it. Only the Verified badge is shown.
Timing depends on completing the profile, reading and signing the agreement, identity checks and any required review. A booking is not guaranteed. Before your first paid project you also record a 20-second permission video, which stays private.
Your agreed talent fee is paid in full. After delivery, company acceptance, the applicable review period and cleared holds, your fee becomes eligible for a scheduled payout. Payouts run through Stripe in the US and Airwallex everywhere else, so you can be paid in most countries. You add bank details when you accept your first project, not before.
No. Follower count plays no part in casting. Companies on HyperKnown are licensing a real person's likeness for their own AI-generated advertising, not your audience.
