The App That Lets AI Agents Hire You: Human API Goes Mobile With a $65mn Long on Human Data

Human API launched its mobile app on iOS and Android on April 1, letting contributors earn direct payments by completing tasks posted by AI agents. Initial tasks are audio-based: conversational recordings that capture natural speech patterns and scripted assignments targeting accent variance, providing the kind of human audio data that synthetic generation cannot replicate reliably. The platform is agent-native, meaning AI systems post tasks directly through a standardized interface. Human API has raised $65 million from Placeholder, Polychain, Hack VC, DBA, and Delphi Ventures. The AI training dataset market is valued at $4.44 billion in 2026 and projected to reach $23.18 billion by 2034. Planned expansions include computer-usage data and real-world execution tasks.
