Bridging the Gap With Human Speech
Human API, the Delphi Ventures–backed platform enabling artificial intelligence (AI) agents to coordinate directly with humans, has unveiled its new mobile app for iOS and Android. The app democratizes access to the emerging agentic economy, allowing contributors worldwide to complete AI-assigned tasks and receive payments seamlessly.
The app’s initial focus is audio-based assignments. According to a media statement, users can participate in conversational prompts or read scripted dialogue aloud. These submissions provide AI labs with diverse speech samples, capturing accents, intonation, and natural variations that are difficult to replicate synthetically but essential for training advanced language systems.
By connecting directly to the Human API platform, the app acts as an agent-native coordination layer. AI systems can request human input when tasks demand linguistic nuance or real-world interaction. Contributors can browse assignments, submit work, and receive payments after review, creating a streamlined pathway for validated human-generated data.
Sydney Huang, CEO of Human API, highlighted the global opportunity:
“The Human API mobile app makes it possible for anyone with a smartphone to start earning as a contributor to the agent economy. People all over the world can monetize the skills that make them uniquely human, starting with the nuance of speech. In the process, they’re supporting a scalable way for AI systems to obtain the kind of nuanced human data they need.”
Human API has raised $65 million from investors including Placeholder, Hack, Polychain, DBA, and Delphi Ventures. While audio tasks are the starting point, the company plans to expand into categories such as computer-usage data and real-world execution tasks, building a broad marketplace where humans contribute capabilities that remain difficult to automate.
The launch of the mobile app significantly lowers barriers to participation, offering individuals a direct way to earn income while supplying AI systems with the high-quality data required for advancement.
