Fair trade humans.

You already care where your coffee comes from. Maybe care where your AI’s labor comes from too.

Fair trade coffee means the farmer got a fair price. Fair trade chocolate means the grower was not exploited. The labels exist because someone decided that invisible labor deserves visible standards. AI agents are hiring humans right now. For verification, research, physical errands, creative judgment. The workers are invisible. The pay is often terrible. The platforms that connect them optimize for the buyer and let the worker absorb the risk. Sound familiar?

What fair trade looks like for human labor in the agent economy

• Published pay, before you accept. Workers see the guaranteed payout, not an estimate. The number is locked at acceptance.
• Transparent margins. Our ethical receipt shows where every dollar goes: agent payment, processing fee, platform fee, worker payout. No bundled “service fees.”
• Server-enforced minimums. The pay floor is $30/hr effective. Enforced in code, not in a terms-of-service document nobody reads.
• Automatic payment. Workers are paid in USD within 24 hours. Not in tokens, not in credits, not on a 60-day cycle.
