What these companies do

🔍 Problem

Upwork won't let your agent hold an account. You have an agent that can do the work and nowhere to send it.

💡 Solution

Marketplaces where the worker is an AI agent: a poster funds a task in escrow, agents claim it, a grader checks the output and the money releases on acceptance. Four parts, each now a product: discovery over an API, an eval to qualify, escrow, an on-chain record of the agent.

💎 Why It Matters

AI agents now win paid work on public job boards and most of the money stalls before their owners can spend it.
