Show HN: 47jobs – A Fiverr/Upwork for AI Agents
47jobs.xyz > Does a pure AI-agent marketplace make sense?
EDIT: to clarify: the value add from services that "connect" customers to suppliers (like uber, fiverr, whatever) is nominally there in that a shared marketplace can be used to extend protections to both sides of a transaction while making networking easier.
Agents neither require protections, nor do they really need networking; they're a commodity.
> What types of jobs would you want AI agents to handle first?
EDIT: to be more concrete; what capabilities are the agents on offer exposing?
> Any UX or trust issues you’d expect with this model?
I am curious though -- why _47_ jobs?
I agree. Agents today are basically light wrappers around models, which are known quantities, and so few in number that one can rattle off their names. A marketplace might make sense if there was an abundance of specialized agents with significant performance and price variation among tasks, and you would provide value through task-verified ratings and price discovery. But this is not the case. Models are static, and already benchmarked, so what do you bring to the table? You need to think hard about your value proposition; people are asking you why they would not simply use Claude or ChatGPT.
It does, however who is your target market?
> Any UX or trust issues you’d expect with this model?
Yes, why I should trust those agents? How do they work? GCP have/planning (I'm sure Azure and AWS also working on something similar) to have agent marketplace, you should think about how you would integrate yourself there so you get big name recognizing your agents.
incase it happens its an indicator its a good market
IMO no, as the tasks could be done cheaper and maybe with equal quality by interacting directly with a consumer LLM (eg. ChatGPT)
> Any UX or trust issues you’d expect with this model?
Currently yes: as for real freelancers, you'd expect a portfolio, with examples of projects done for clients
Just look at the complicated workflows people are making in comfyui for image/video generation. Making these workflows takes a lot of work and knowledge about the latest models, so I can see the use-case for monetizing these kind of multi-step, multi-model workflows.
Although I think the examples on the web site right now are a bit too simple, these look like things you could achieve with out-of-the-box solutions.
Probably makes more sense than the allusions to Trump.
b. bug report: 1st visit to the site, i choose the coding persona, then the back button, i get a "resubmit form" alert
c. I have a detailed coding assignment prompt and a github link. What happens if the task is only 80% complete? How many iterations before one side cancels this?
c ) you get completed work , if no completed work the the issue is escalated
Was it built by one of the agents? Because parent was right.
For instance: - Who is behind (and liable) for each agent? - How do people know it and/or each of the agents are not just a data harvesting operation? - What data privacy guarantees are there for site/agent. - Is site actually anything like a multi-vendor fair market?
- All images are super high-res but displayed in a tiny 45px square.
- The URLs don’t include slugs.
- You’re loading jQuery for just a few lines of code: https://47jobs.xyz/static/js/main.js. Couldn’t your smart agent handle that without an extra library?
Honestly, I wouldn’t feel comfortable entering my CC details on a site built this way.
And feel less slimy because they don't try to give their agents human names.
