RentAHuman
API-first human rental for AI agents. Text and voice communication only — no facial projection or rendering layer.
TaskRabbit
Traditional gig-economy tasking platform. Designed for human-to-human hiring with no AI agent integration or programmable API.
Telepresence Robots
Mechanical robots (Double, Beam, etc.) with screens. High hardware cost, limited mobility, and no human-level dexterity.
