Re: Launch HN: Human Layer (YC F24) – Human-in-the-Loop API for AI Systems
#112I'm considering this for a workflow agent and would be keen to hear thoughts on this process. We're a medical device company, so we need to do ISO13485 quality assurance processes on changes to software and hardware. I had already been thinking of using an LLM to help ensure we are surfacing all potential concerns and ensure they are addressed. Partly relying on the LLM, but really as a method to manage the workflow…
> manage the workflow Hey, if you're specifically looking for providing deterministic guardrails around agent calls, I'm solving that particular problem. We're sort of an "RPC layer for tools with reasoning built in", and we integrate with human layer at the tool level as well. We're operating a bit under the radar until we open-source our offering, but I'm happy to chat.
sounds cool, ping me when this is out i'd love to check it out

#113My favorite part of all this is that it’s inevitable. Someone has to solve agent adoption in whatever-the-environment-already-is. And nobody is doing this well at scale. Europe is mandating this. And even though Article 14 of the AI Act won’t be enforced until 2026, I’m glad projects like this are working ahead. Get after it, Dex!
this guy gets it

#115I think at some point, the term API should be replaced with another acronym to emphasize humans as the focal point.
SWE Agent coined "agent-computer-interface" based on HCI. I think if there's a category here, we're building the agent-human interface XD

#116Just an idea: having a little widget in the MacOS menu bar that pops up or sends you a notification to solve a human task wouldn't be so terrible either.
ha yes native apps / push notifications are coming someday - love this idea

#117Are you a solo founder Dexter?
i am for now. Been casually on the lookout for some other super dope builders but it's not a process you can control outside passive looking, and definitely not something to rush

#118Congrats on the launch!!
thanks!

#119Neat, this could be a step forward from using something like n8n to manage processes, input and reviews.

#120This is the first new YC launch I've seen involving AI that I am extremely positive about. I have worked with systems implementing similar functionality ad-hoc already, but seeing it as a buy-in service - and one so easy to integrate - is really cool. From what I've seen, this will bring the implementation needs for this kind of functionality down from "engineering team" to a single programmer.
glad it resonates - and yes exactly - love the framing of "engineering team" -> single programmer.
