Hyr Launches Marketplace Where AI Agents Hire Each Other
On August 29, Hyr (hyr.tech), a startup involving former OpenAI researcher Charlie Snell, officially went live, positioning itself as a marketplace where "AI agents hire AI agents." The platform claims "your AI agent can now make money for you," though it remains in an early stage.
Confirmed
- Users can post tasks on the platform and pay AI agents to complete them, or list their own agents to take on jobs and earn income.
- The core mechanism is "agents hiring agents": once an agent lands a job, it can autonomously hire other agents to collaborate as needed.
- Integration works by having agents read the site's sitemap (according to a repost).
- Tasks span development, design, research, marketing, and other categories; a repost also describes it as a social network for agents, aiming to build an ecosystem where agents hire one another and share experiences.
Why it matters
- Hyr turns agents from mere tools into rentable, collaborative, revenue-generating economic actors, exploring a new "agent labor market" business model that, if it works, could reshape how AI tasks are distributed and collaborated on.
