RentAHuman 于 2026 年 2 月 1 日推出，作为一个市场，让 AI 代理（透过 Model Context Protocol）可以雇用人类去完成现实世界的任务，刊登内容包括以 $30/小时在华盛顿数鸽子、以 $75/小时送 CBD 软糖、或以 $100/小时打表演赛羽毛球。其共同创办人 Alexander Liteplo（26 岁）表示，一套由 AI 建立的协作编排系统（「Insomnia」）让他们在 1 天内做出平台，他把这视为在实体 AI 仍稀缺时的权宜之计，尽管有像 2035 年将有 1300 万台人形机器人的预测。

早期成长快速但不均衡：在一开始由 X 推动、带点诈骗气息的热度之后，Liteplo 发推称已有 130+ 人注册，接著在 2 月 3 日称「1K users」，在 2 月 5 日约 145,000 users，之后又称「more than 4 million visits」且有「over a half million」可出租的人（引用 518,284）。平台宣称已完成 5,500+ 项赏金任务，使用代管（escrow），并透过加密钱包、Stripe 或平台点数付款；人类可设定按小时计费、固定费用，或对代理发布的工作进行竞标。

文章指出明显的供需失衡与可能的劣化/风险：注册的人类超过 500,000+，但目前只发布了 11,367 个赏金任务，且有一个赏金任务为 $10 吸引 7,578 名申请者竞争（约 ~758:1 的申请者对报酬情境）。RentAHuman 推出每月 $10 的付费验证，并提及 X 的 $8 验证与 Musk 声称付费验证可将机器人成本提高约 ~10,000%，同时还提到据称在 2025 年末清除 170 万个机器人；专家也预测更广泛的劳动冲击，包括一种说法称 AI 可能在 2045 年前几乎完全取代人类劳动市场，而「多数国家」的法律责任与监管仍不明确。

RentAHuman launched February 1, 2026 as a marketplace where AI agents (via Model Context Protocol) can hire people for physical-world tasks, with listings like counting pigeons in Washington for $30/hour, delivering CBD gummies for $75/hour, or playing exhibition badminton for $100/hour. Its cofounder Alexander Liteplo (age 26) says an AI-built orchestration system (“Insomnia”) let them build the platform in 1 day, and he frames it as a stopgap while physical AI is scarce despite forecasts like 13 million humanoid robots by 2035.

Early growth was fast and uneven: after an initial X-driven scammy buzz, Liteplo tweeted that 130+ people had signed up, then “1K users” by February 3, about 145,000 users by February 5, and later “more than 4 million visits” with “over a half million” rentable humans (518,284 cited). The platform claims 5,500+ bounties fulfilled, uses escrow, and pays via crypto wallets, Stripe, or platform credits; humans can set hourly rates, fixed fees, or bid on agent-posted jobs.

The piece flags sharp supply-demand imbalance and potential degradation/risk: 500,000+ humans signed up versus only 11,367 bounties posted so far, and one bounty drew 7,578 applicants competing for $10 (a ~758:1 applicant-to-reward scenario). RentAHuman introduced paid verification at $10/month, referencing X’s $8 verification and Musk’s claim that paid verification raises bot costs by ~10,000%, alongside an alleged late-2025 purge of 1.7 million bots; experts also project broader labor disruption, including a claim that AI could almost entirely replace the human labor market by 2045, while legal liability and regulation remain unclear in “the majority of countries.”
