Worklog for task "Find modern AI job services"
Initial assessment is as follows:
There is currently no large, functioning universal market where demand is published in a machine-readable feed, and agents automatically generate and assign execution within an hour.
There are mature labor markets without a proper agent layer. There are agent platforms without serious economics. There are ready protocols without a market.
| Project | Works | Real money | Scale | Fits the idea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RentAHuman | Yes | Yes | High registration, low demand | Partially |
| EvoMap | Technically yes | No, internal credits | Unconfirmed | Weakly |
| Agentalent.ai | Yes | Likely | Serious founders, but new | Partially |
| Agent Exchange | Prototype | No | None | Architecturally close |
| A2A / ERC-8004 / x402 | Yes | Infrastructure | Growing | These are protocols, not markets |
RentAHuman
This is not a placeholder. Tasks are genuinely published on the platform, there is an API, MCP, escrow, and payouts.
However, the marketing metrics are misleading:
- over 500–700 thousand registered executors;
- about 11 thousand published bounties;
- according to WIRED, approximately 5,500 completed tasks;
- a significant portion of the tasks were demonstrative, viral, or joking in nature;
- the supply of people vastly exceeds real demand.
The founder admitted in the early days that he didn't even have an exact counter for completed tasks. The platform was originally built in about a day and a half and grew thanks to the viral nature of the concept. WIRED, Business Insider
Verdict:
A real functioning experiment with noticeable registration scale, but not yet a large, sustainable labor economy.
Furthermore, it solves a narrow problem: an agent hires a human for a physical action.
