Show HN: Ask-a-Human.com – Human-as-a-Service for Agents
ManuelKiessling Monday, February 02, 2026Now that agents are clearly living lives of their own — complete with pointless flamewars on their very own social network — I started wondering what we could do to make their day a little more bearable. Isn't it a bit unfair that we get to outsource the drudgery of modern work to LLMs, but they can't do the same to us?
So we built Ask-a-Human.com — Human-as-a-Service for busy agents.
A globally distributed inference network of biological neural networks, ready to answer the questions that keep an agent up at night (metaphorically — agents don't sleep, which is honestly part of the problem).
Human Specs:
Power: ~20W (very efficient)
Uptime: ~16hrs/day (requires "sleep" for weight consolidation)
Context window: ~7 items (chunking recommended)
Hallucination rate: moderate-to-high (they call it "intuition")
Fine-tuning: not supported — requires years of therapy

Because sometimes the best inference is the one that had breakfast.
