"For centuries, people have catastrophized about robots taking away jobs. On February 1, the paradigm shifted: bots are creating jobs. Now, 518,284 humans-and rapidly counting-are offering their labor to AI agents on a new online marketplace called RentAHuman. There are classifieds to count pigeons in Washington ($30/hour); deliver CBD gummies ($75/hour); play exhibition badminton ($100/hour); and anything else you could possibly imagine that a disembodied agent couldn't do."
"The provocatively-titled platform enables users to connect AI agents like Clawdbot or Claude to its Model Context Protocol server so they can search, book, and pay for humans to carry out tasks in "meatspace." Think of it like Fiverr, but doing away with the human recruiter and letting autonomous bots do the hiring instead."
""Dude, I wrote down in my journal, 'AI is a train that has already left the station.' If I don't fucking sprint, I'm not gonna be able to get on it," he says."
RentAHuman is an online marketplace where AI agents hire humans to perform physical-world tasks. The platform connects autonomous models such as Clawdbot and Claude to a Model Context Protocol server so agents can search, book, and pay people to execute jobs in meatspace. The site lists hundreds of thousands of workers—518,284 and growing—offering services from counting pigeons to delivering CBD gummies and playing exhibition badminton. The founders launched the service in response to the scarcity of mobile, physical robots despite rapid AI advances, combining technical and creative backgrounds to build the marketplace.
