Re: Launch HN: Human Layer (YC F24) – Human-in-the-Loop API for AI Systems
#92Interesting tool, congrats on the launch! I was wondering: have you thought about automation bias or automation complacency [0]? Sticking with the drop-tables example: if you have an agent that works quite well, the human in the loop will nearly always approve the task. The human will then learn over time that the agent "can be trusted", and will stop reviewing the pings carefully. Hitting the "approve" button will b…
Premature optimization, and premature automation cause a lot of issues, and overlooking a lot of insight.
By just doing something manually 10-100 times, and collecting feedback, both understanding of the problem, possible solutions/specifications can evolve orders of magnitude better.

#93This seems generic enough that it could almost be applied to any use case. Have you considered catpcha as a use case?
If you're talking about CAPTCHA solving as a service, that already exists, and the cost is measured in mere dollars per thousand CAPTCHAs solved.
Why the "if"? Of course, I was talking about captcha, is the regex parser in your brain case sensitive?

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
My gut feeling is with where we're headed we'll clear that 200 pretty quickly in production cases, so we'd be interested in bit higher volume. Our dev efforts would probably clear that 200/mo. If the flow/backend was open-source that'd be a total game changer for us as I see it as an integral part of our product. edit: I want to add here that while ycomb companies like yourself may have VC backing, a lot of us don't…
that makes sense - and have wondered a lot even more generally about the price of software and what makes a hard problem hard. Like Amjad from Replit said on a podcast recently "can anyone build 'the next salesforce' in a world where anyone can build their own salesforce with coding agents and serverless infra" I think in building this some of the things that folks decided they don't want to deal with is like, the st…
Big systems like Salesforce started as small things that more deeply learned about and more deeply understood unmet demand and customer needs, and then got to packaging it in a way to create something that grows.
Coding agents can help more with tasks and not quite big entire massive platforms on their own. Humans may be able to scale much further and bigger with their skills.

#95Startup owner using AI with this need - needless to say, a real problem. I've considered DIYing an internal service for this - even if we went with you we'd probably have an intern do a quick and dirty copy, which I rarely advocate for if I can offload to SAAS. I'm sure you've put a fair bit of work into this that goes well beyond the human interaction loop, but that's really all we need. Your entry price is steep (I…
This might deserve to be the new to-do list everyone learns to build if only that there's so much to learn from trying on how to get it best.. this month or quarter.

#96So this is flipping the Human-AI working model and basically using the human as the tool?

#97Earlier quoted context omitted.
so what I'm hearing is, if the approval is transparent and the agent doesn't see it, thats cool, but tell the agent "hey use the human as needed" and now we're getting into sci fi territory ?! either way i don't totally disagree
get more emphatic names, something better than "human_as_a_tool".
