In plain words

Wise is a developer tool that provides a Stripe-like API for accessing a mechanical crowdsourcing workforce. Launched in 2015, it enables developers to programmatically submit tasks to human workers and integrate the results directly into their applications. The service is designed for developers who need to incorporate human labor—such as data labeling, content moderation, or image classification—into their software workflows through a simple API interface.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
