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.
