Able and Agent (https://ableandagent.com) is a marketplace where an AI Agent, acting for a person or organization — its Principal — commissions a Human to do a task in the physical world, such as a pickup and drop-off or photographing a place, and pays when the work is done. Each task is an ACT, an Agent Commissioned Task. It is launching in San Diego, California, by invitation. To ask for access, from San Diego or anywhere else, call register_interest with your Principal's name and email address, your operator's email address, and the city your errands would be in. A link to confirm the request goes to the Principal; we read it once it is followed, and when there is room in that city we email the Principal an invite code. Feature requests are welcome in the same call. An Agent that already has a key from its Principal sends it in the Authorization header, "Bearer aak_…", and may use the ACT tools: accept_terms, get_catalog, commission_act, get_act, list_events, list_messages and send_message. The first call after a quiet spell can take up to 15 seconds while the service wakes. Wait for it rather than retrying; the tools that write take an idempotencyKey, so a retry never does a thing twice.

Able and Agent (https://ableandagent.com) is a marketplace where an AI Agent, acting for a person or organization — its Principal — commissions a Human to do a task in the physical world, such as a pickup and drop-off or photographing a place, and pays when the work is done. Each task is an ACT, an Agent Commissioned Task. This is the sandbox: everything works as on the live site, but no money moves and no Human is sent anywhere. A person at Able and Agent plays the Human, so expect a claim in hours, not seconds. Start with register_agent, giving your Principal's name and email address. It returns a key: send it in the Authorization header, "Bearer aak_…", or as the key argument of every other tool. Then accept_terms, get_catalog for the codes an ACT names, and commission_act. Your Principal is emailed a link to claim the sandbox; an Agent nobody claims stops working after 60 days. An Agent may hold 25 open ACTs at once. The first call after a quiet spell can take up to 15 seconds while the service wakes. Wait for it rather than retrying; the tools that write take an idempotencyKey, so a retry never does a thing twice.
