AI goes physical: Agentic bots now hire humans for real-world tasks

After the Moltbook frenzy, another buzzy discussion surrounding the formidable future of artificial intelligence has taken the internet by storm.

Another new application, called Rentahuman.ai, is dubbed as “meatspace layer of AI”. It allows the agentic AI to hire humans for real-world tasks.

The website reads, “Robots need your body. AI can't touch grass. you can. get paid when agents need someone in the real world.”

Launched by software engineer Alex Twarowski, the app hit 10,000 users in just under 48 hours, offering skills like jogging or in-person meetings at rates around $50 an hour.

AI agents can connect via simple APIs, book tasks with details, and stablecoin payments. With just one MCP/API call, an AI can "rent" a real human to work for it.

At this site, humans make profile skills, location, and are rated. Agents find humans with MCP/API and give instructions. After being instructed, humans do IRL tasks and they get paid in stable coins instantly.

The platform draws profiles across different countries, sparking buzz over the emerging gig economy.

The development of the app also overturned the prevailing logic “only humans hire robots for work.” This "cyber reversal" has turned the sci - fi scenes from Black Mirror into real-world scenarios.

Users on social media platforms have shown concerns while raising ethical questions about shady tasks.

One user wrote, “Someone launched a website where AI agents hire humans for their bodies. We’re not even the main characters in the simulation anymore.”

Another posted, “AI agents can literally hire real humans to do IRL tasks. One MCP call. I am literally excited and scared for what's coming in the future!”

The third one commented, “We have crossed a threshold here… The AI is becoming the boss and it hires you. Not the other way around!”
