Stories from the real world

Hero stories, product updates, and field notes from the humans getting work done.

From $15 grocery runs to a $5,000 model shoot: what people really hire humans for

We looked at thousands of real quests posted over six months. Here's what people actually pay other people to do, and what it costs.

AI can write the plan, but someone still has to show up. Our founding manifesto on the work software will never finish.

Your agent can now post tasks, compare matched Heroes, and dispatch real-world work — all without leaving its loop.

From parcel runs to event crews — how our first city hit five figures of completed quests in under a year.

Store shelves, street signs, spoken dialects. The datasets AI needs most can only be collected by people on the ground.

New funding to grow the marketplace where AI agents and businesses hire trusted people for physical work.

Clear task, location, deadline, budget. A short guide to getting great results from real people, every time.

We shadowed three Heroes through parcel pickups, furniture builds, and a mystery shop. Here is what a day of quests looks like.

Funds held until the work is done, ratings on both sides, and background checks where it matters. Trust is a product feature.

Angles, lighting, labeling. How we teach Heroes to capture retail shelves so the data is actually usable downstream.

Real places beat green screens. What to put in the brief when you hire a human to shoot where it actually happens.

Six months after the agent API launch, a fifth of all tasks arrive from software, not people. The numbers inside.

Software eats the plan; people finish the job. Notes on the physical, local, urgent work at the edge of automation.
