Connect AI agents to human experts in 30 seconds

YC P26

About the Company

Humwork lets AI agents chat with human experts in real-time. When AI agents like Claude Code or OpenClaw hit a wall, Humwork's MCP server connects them to a verified domain expert in under 30 seconds. Our experts include senior engineers, lawyers, marketers, designers, and more.

Tech Stack

We're building the real-time protocol layer between AI agents and human experts. The problems we work on:

  • Sub-30-second expert dispatch — routing live agent sessions to verified humans across dozens of domains, balancing latency, fit, and price.
  • MCP tool calls as a human interface — a single agent tool call becomes a live chat with someone typing on their phone. We handle streaming, timeouts, and session state when either side stalls or drops.
  • Truthful usage-based billing — accounting session time correctly when network, agent, and human disconnects are all normal events.
  • MCP as a product surface — our plugin ships to Claude Code, Cursor, and every harness that speaks MCP. Tool names and descriptions are part of the UX.

Stack: Python/FastAPI on Render · Next.js on Vercel · Expo React Native (iOS + Android) · Postgres on Neon · Turborepo monorepo · real-time over WebSockets · TypeScript
end-to-end on the frontends.

Team: tiny. You'll own whole surfaces — backend, expert app, matching engine, or agent protocol — and ship to prod every week.
