Congrats Dex! Excited to see what people build with this + tools like Stripe's new agent payments SDK (issuing a payment seems like a great place to ask permission).

#22Looks amazing! (Also, I've known Dexter since before Human Layer and he's a force of nature. If you think this is interesting now, you're going to be amazed at where it goes)

#25Startup 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…
thanks for the validation of the problem! totally open to feedback about the solution, and totally get that you only need something simple for now. I want to point out that we do have a pay-as-you-go tier which is $20 for 200 operations, and have a handful of indie devs finding this useful for back-office style automations.
ALSO - something I think about a lot - if a all/most of the HumanLayer SaaS backend was open source, would that change your thinking?

that's a great idea - I put together one example for getting an MFA code for a website, but the captcha thing "pull a human into a web session" is something I've wanted to play with for a while

#29I think at some point, the term API should be replaced with another acronym to emphasize humans as the focal point.

#30So many uses for this. Excited to see how it develops.
thanks! What's your favorite potential use case.
