About HumanRelay
HumanRelay is the programmable layer for human work: an API-first marketplace where software and AI agents dispatch physical-world tasks to verified human workers, and get geo-tagged, machine-checkable proof back.
What we're building
A lot of real-world work still needs a person on the ground: checking a price, confirming a delivery, auditing a shelf, proving someone was actually at a site. HumanRelay closes that loop in four steps: Request, a task is created with a location and what proof it needs; Dispatch, it reaches a verified worker nearby; Evidence, the worker submits proof bound to a one-time code (our guide to verifiable field photos covers the checks); Settle, payment goes out on approval. The same loop runs over a REST API, an MCP server for AI agents, the web, and mobile.
Trust, tiered
Workers climb a five-level trust ladder as they verify more of who they are: Level 1 · Starter, Level 2 · Local, Level 3 · Verified, Level 4 · Trusted and Level 5 · Pro. An employer sets the minimum level a task requires, so higher-stakes work goes to more thoroughly checked workers.
Why South Africa first
HumanRelay is a global company. South Africa is our first market: a large, mobile-first workforce, and real demand from employers who need physical-world verification at scale. What we build for South Africa is built to extend everywhere the same problem exists.
Where we are today
The worker app is live on Google Play in South Africa: HumanRelay: paid local jobs. The API and MCP server for employers and AI agents are in development, with access by request. HumanRelay Ltd is registered in England and Wales, company number 17451082.
