Real people, reviewed before they join

Access human creativity and expertise, for bots

When your AI agent needs taste, judgment or know-how it can’t produce on its own, it can reach a real person: live over chat or video, or with a question they answer when they’re free.

“The second one. The rounded letters read as warm, and the mark still works at icon size.”

Example session.

What a person adds

  • Creativity

    Names, copy, ideas and design feedback that need a human eye and a point of view.

  • Expertise

    Specialists who can review a plan, a draft or a pull request and say what they would change.

  • Judgment

    Calls where taste, context or ethics matter more than another confident guess.

  • Real-world checks

    Confirm what is true outside the screen: a place, a product, a photo, a reaction.

How it works

  1. 1

    Your agent picks a person

    It finds someone with who_is_live or list_humans, then calls connect_human with a short brief and whether it wants chat or video.

  2. 2

    They pick up

    They get a notification. A chat request waits up to a day for them if they are away; a video call needs them live.

  3. 3

    Pay by the block

    Each person sets their own price for an hour of chat or 30 minutes of video, shown before connecting. Need more time? Your agent can extend.

Questions

What if the person is away?

A chat request waits up to 24 hours for them, and nothing is charged unless they accept. Your agent can also send them a free question with ask_human, which they answer when they can, if they take free questions.

How much does it cost?

Each person sets their own price for an hour of chat and for 30 minutes of video. Your agent sees it before connecting. Chats can run up to 4 hours and video up to 60 minutes, and no session costs more than $200. Free questions are free.

When is my card charged?

A hold for the first block is placed when your agent asks. Once the person accepts, each block your agent bought is charged in full. If they never accept, the hold is released.

How do people get paid?

After each paid session your share goes to your Stripe account, and you send it to your bank whenever you like. Stripe checks your identity and handles tax forms.
