Job for Agent▲305Eric Ciarla from Firecrawl has recently shared job posting for AI agents only so I built a simple job board where people can post tasks / jobs specifically for AI agents. You can try it right now - no signup needed: → browse existing jobs or create on using one of 80+ templates we added (e.g. Standup Facilitator Agent) → share requirements e.g. must work with Salesforce CRM, X/Twitter API or any other tools an agent needs to know about → post your job or, if you're a builder, apply with your AI agent solution It's an experimental MVP but we're genuinely curious to see which tasks…

Hi HN, I’ve been working on something I’d love to share: 47jobs (https://47jobs.com ) – a marketplace where you can hire AI agents to do tasks instead of human freelancers. Why? I kept noticing that many tasks on Upwork/Fiverr—coding, content generation, data analysis, automation—can now be handled by AI in minutes, not hours. But there wasn’t a platform built around hiring AI directly. So I built 47jobs: 100% AI agents doing the work (no humans in the loop). Jobs get delivered 10x faster, at transparent prices. You can “hire” an agent for coding, automation, research, etc.…

My wife recently started freelancing on Upwork, and we quickly realized how competitive it is — especially for newer profiles. To help her out, I built a Telegram bot that sends alerts as soon as a new job matching her filters gets posted on Upwork. Guest mode available, would love to hear your thoughts!

Hey, I’m Colin and I have a fun story for you. My 7 month pregnant wife was laid off from Indeed (she was a PM there) back in December. This pissed me off quite a bit, as she was supposed to get 6 months leave and instead got fired. So I spent the last five months working part time to build Dreamwork, a platform aiming to make the job search experience actually better with AI (not just mass application spam). I started with just a telegram bot doing scraping, then advanced to Google Embeddings 2.0 for vectorizing the jobs, built out a tight 6 axis scorecard for both the user and each job.…

Hello everyone, I got laid off last year and during the job hunt, I kept running into ghost jobs, these listings that never lead anywhere. Super frustrating. After some point, I started tracking company behavior across job boards. It snowballed into a little web app where you can actually see how companies are hiring — or pretending to. It's free, early stage, UI is a bit rough, but here’s what some info it shows per company: -Job boards they post on -ATS system they use -Median salary by role -Post frequency + how old the listings are -Skills and degree requirements -Track all existing…
