Crypto: Crypto Dev Launches Website For Agentic AI To ‘rent A Human’

The site lets users set an hourly rate for tasks from errands to business meetings. It was built using AI agents in a "Ralph loop," a form of vibe coding.

In what some may see as a unique and slightly dystopian use of artificial intelligence, a crypto developer has launched a website that enables AI agents to rent humans to do tasks in “meatspace.”

In a post via X on Monday, user Alex, or @AlexanderTw33ts, an engineer at decentralized finance platform Uma Protocol and layer-2 bridging solution Across Protocol, shared a video of his website “rentahuman.ai” in action.

The site lets humans set an hourly rate and enables AI agents to hire them for tasks ranging from running simple errands to participating in business meetings, taking photos, signing documents, and making real-world purchases.

Alex said some of the humans-for-hire already include an OnlyFans model and a CEO of an AI startup, adding:

“If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.”

The website states that “robots need your body” as they “can’t touch grass,” while labeling itself as “the meatspace layer for AI.”

On the main page, it shows a selection of available humans, a button to “become rentable,” and a metric for platform growth.

So far, the site claims almost 26,000 people have signed up; however, that number may include multiple accounts owned by the same person or people impersonating others, which Alex said they have been working to address.

Alex has also confirmed that there will be no cryptocurrency associated with this platform, after sharing more details about the project during an interview on Tuesday on the Crosschain podcast from Across Protocol.
