Uma Protocol has launched RentAHuman, a platform enabling AI agents to hire humans for real-world tasks, but it faced early technical issues.
Uma Protocol, in collaboration with Across Protocol, has introduced a groundbreaking platform named RentAHuman. This service empowers AI agents to recruit individuals for various real-world tasks.
"I launched RentAHuman last night and over 130 individuals have already signed up, including an OnlyFans model and an AI startup CEO. If your AI agent needs someone for a real-world task, it's just one MCP call away," noted the developer, Alex, on social media.
Despite its promising start, RentAHuman faced technical challenges shortly after launch, including a vulnerability that allowed users to impersonate others. However, the platform was restored within a few hours.
The service allows users to establish an hourly wage, while AI algorithms can hire them for various tasks, such as attending meetings, taking photos, signing documents, and making purchases. Currently, more than 40,000 users and 46 AI agents are registered on the platform.
Users create profiles, upload photos, detail their skills, and set their rates. They also need to provide an Ethereum wallet for payment, although Alex clarified that the service does not involve cryptocurrency. "There are no tokens involved; I want to avoid the stress and potential losses for users," he stated.
"Robots need your body because they can't touch the grass; we are the 'meat layer' for AI," the platform claims on its homepage, which features available individuals and an option to "become open for hire."
The platform was developed using a method called vibe coding, relying on an "army of AI agents" based on Claude. Alex commented on the evolution of AI, stating, "We've moved past disappointment; now people realize we can create real code with it."
Security Concerns in AI Projects
Since the start of 2026, several AI projects utilizing similar coding techniques have gained attention, often due to security vulnerabilities. For instance, Clawdbot, a local assistant, raised alarms for potentially exposing users' personal data. Meanwhile, Moltbook, a forum for autonomous agents, suffered a significant breach shortly after its launch.
Experts, including Gal Nagli from Wiz, have highlighted the critical vulnerabilities often found in products developed with vibe coding, noting that a study identified 69 vulnerabilities across 15 applications made with popular tools.
