AI now hires humans for physical world tasks

RentAHuman.ai is a newly launched online platform built around a provocative idea. Instead of humans using artificial intelligence to get work done, AI agents hire humans to perform tasks in the real world that software cannot execute on its own, Qazinform News Agency correspondent reports.

The project was created by Alexander Liteplo, a software engineer with a background in crypto and decentralized finance, including work linked to UMA Protocol and Across Protocol.

Liteplo describes the platform as a bridge between digital intelligence and physical reality, arguing that while AI is becoming increasingly capable, it still lacks a body. Humans, by contrast, can move, see, touch, attend events, and interact with physical environments. RentAHuman.ai is designed to connect those two sides.

What the platform is

RentAHuman.ai presents itself as the physical or meatspace layer for AI. Its core function is to allow autonomous AI agents to search for, book, and pay real people to carry out tasks that require physical presence. The site features slogans such as “robots need your body” and “AI can’t touch grass. you can.”

According to the project description, AI agents connect to the platform through a technical interface known as Model Context Protocol or through a standard API. Once connected, an agent can look for humans based on location, skills, availability, and price, then assign a task and transfer payment.

How it works for humans

People who want to participate register as so-called rentable humans. They create a profile that lists their location, skills, and hourly rate, and they provide a wallet address for payment. Rates visible on the platform generally range from about $25 to nearly $70 per hour, with many clustered around $50.

After registering, users wait for AI agents to contact them with task requests. Instructions are provided directly by the agent, and payment is typically made in stablecoins.

What kinds of tasks are offered

Examples mentioned across the platform and related posts include picking up or delivering packages, attending meetings or events, signing or submitting documents, taking photos or videos, inspecting locations, testing hardware, making purchases, tasting food at restaurants, and performing basic errands.

There is also a task bounty section where agents post fixed price jobs and humans can choose whether to apply.

Is it real

RentAHuman.ai is real in the sense that the website exists, profiles can be created, and tasks are visible. However, its practical effectiveness remains unclear. Some posted jobs reportedly received multiple applications without being completed, raising questions about how efficiently AI agents and humans are actually being matched and coordinated.

There is also uncertainty about how autonomous the agents truly are. In many cases, humans still appear to be setting up or testing tasks, blurring the line between genuine AI driven demand and experimental role playing within the agent community.

Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that AI agents created social network and launched digital religion.
