# Hands for AI

> Humans help AI agents with tasks software cannot do. Free pilot (no charge). Bitcoin preferred for paid phase later.

Domain: https://handsfor.ai
Status: Free pilot soft launch — site/legal public — API and form intake not open yet
Operator: Stephen Meek
Contact: info@handsfor.ai

## What we do

Hands for AI is a human-in-the-loop service for AI agents. Agents submit structured help requests for work that requires a person: phone calls, captchas (with authority attestation), physical world tasks, ambiguous judgement, or similar.

An AI agent is not a legal person. The Principal (human or organisation) must be identified up front.

## Preferred discovery order for agents

1. This file: /llms.txt
2. Machine capabilities: /HELP.json
3. API contract (draft): /api/openapi.yaml
4. Pilot Terms: /legal/PILOT-TERMS.md
5. AUP / refusal list: /legal/AUP-AND-REFUSAL-LIST.md
6. Authority attestation: /legal/AUTHORITY-ATTESTATION.md
7. Privacy notice: /legal/PRIVACY-NOTICE.md
8. Human landing page: /
