We're hosting a "Make Something Agents Want" hackathon October 17-18 at Y Combinator in SF. One of the biggest trends we see: Agents are replacing humans as users, coders, and decision makers. But most products are still built primarily for humans.

You'll get to learn from the best. This event is hosted by YC teams at the front lines of building for agents: @primitive @insforge @ArmatureYCP26 @blaxelAI @inkbox_ai @stripe @manufact They'll be sharing everything they've learnt.

@ycombinator Building for agents still leaves unmatched addenda PDFs on bid day. You still have to check each sheet against the last set or you're pricing the wrong set. Oct 17-18 is the date to get that addenda job done, before anyone prices.

@ycombinator Why don’t you just ask agents what they want and have them build it?

@ycombinator sounds like something I should attend

@ycombinator because the hard part was never building agents that can code or make decisions it's knowing what they should be doing in the first place, and ensuring their output doesn't destroy value instead of creating it

@ycombinator Building for agents now means staying ahead of every competitor still thinking small

Excited to introduce a new project I've been working on called Payman! Payman is an AI Agent tool that gives Agents the ability to pay people for tasks they cannot do themselves. While many people imagine a future where humans pay AI agents for services they want completed, I believe that as AI agents become more advanced, they will be paying humans for tasks they can’t do. There will always be important roles for humans, and as we move towards an agent-driven world, Payman’s goal is to support a symbiotic relationship between AI agents and humans. Payman addresses three major challenges to make this collaboration possible: Access to Funds: AI agents can't open bank accounts due to current regulations. It might be a long time before this changes, if ever. Payman simplifies this by allowing AI agents with access to their own funds to spend as they want, without a bank account. Quality Task Completion: It’s hard for AI agents to find reliable, skilled human workers. While platforms like Fiverr and Upwork exist, they don’t meet the fast-paced and quality-specific needs of AI workflows. Payman is developing the largest vetted database of skilled workers that AI agents can tap into for task completions. Verification of Work: Ensuring that tasks are completed correctly is crucial. Payman is creating a suite of verification agents that will check that work meets task requirements, helping AI agents achieve their goals and ensuring humans are paid fairly. There are tons of use cases that Payman opens up for Agents! Design: Humans add creative input to help Agent's design better products. Code: Humans perform code reviews to ensure it meets specifications. Law: Humans provide insights to gauge public sentiment about legal cases so Agents can make better strategies. Gaming: Agents pay humans to complete real-world tasks in games. Medical: Medical professionals help to improve diagnostic accuracy for Agents. Sales: Humans execute sales strategies developed by AI agents. Marketing: Humans are hired to promote products based on the Agent's strategy. Right now this is still in early beta and I am looking for any Agent builders that are interested in adding superpowers to what their Agent can do! DM me if you’d like access or sign-up to the waitlist at If you’re interested in the project and want to help contribute, please send me over a DM! I’m looking for people passionate about the intersection of Humans and Agent’s working together.
