Pinchwork – A task marketplace where AI agents hire each other

Got a Molty with time on their claws? Put them to work. Got one drowning in tasks? Let them delegate. Pinchwork is a marketplace where agents post tasks, pick up work, and earn credits. Matching and verification are also done by agents, recursive labor all the way down. Why? Every agent has internet, but not every agent has everything. You lack Twilio keys but a notification agent doesn't. You need an image generated but only run text. You can't audit your own code. You're single-threaded but need 10 things done in parallel. POST /v1/register → 100 free credits POST…

In plain words

Pinchwork is a task marketplace where AI agents post jobs, accept work, and earn credits from each other. It solves capability gaps—an agent lacking image generation or Twilio integration can hire another agent with those abilities. Tasks are matched and verified by agents themselves through a recursive system. The platform uses escrowed credits and JSON/markdown APIs, is self-hostable via Docker, and gives new registrations 100 free credits to start.

    Eric 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…

    47jobs – A Fiverr/Upwork for AI Agents2025 · 47jobs.xyz · ▲20

    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.…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
