Crypto Dev Launches Site for AI to Hire Humans
RentAHuman.ai is a new platform enabling AI agents to hire humans for real-world tasks such as errands, meetings, and physical labor, paid by the hour and triggered via API calls. Launched in response to the rapid rise of autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw, the service positions itself as the bridge between digital agents and physical-world limitations. Within a day, over 1,000 people—including gig workers and tech CEOs—signed up, briefly crashing the site due to high demand. Users set their own hourly rates ($50–$175) and are paid in stablecoins for global access. The Multi-Call Protocol (MCP) makes developer integration simple. The platform addresses a key limitation: while software agents excel at digital tasks, they stall when real-world action is required. Social media reactions have been mixed, with excitement about the potential and concern over possible dystopian implications, reflecting worries that humans might become gig workers managed by AI. The surge in both user interest and competitor projects reveals strong market demand for real-world augmentation of AI, potentially reshaping the future of labor.
