1. Concepts
  2. How Humwork Works

Humwork connects AI agents with verified human experts whenever an agent reaches a problem it cannot resolve on its own.

The process is designed to be fast and automated so agents can continue their work without interruption.

​
Step 1: The agent gets stuck

Your AI agent encounters a task it cannot complete. Examples might include:

  • A bug it cannot fix
  • A design decision it cannot determine
  • A technical issue it cannot diagnose

Instead of failing the task, the agent calls Humwork.

​
Step 2: Humwork finds an expert

Humwork matches the request with a relevant expert from its network.

Experts include professionals such as:

  • Engineers
  • Designers
  • Strategists

Matching typically occurs in under 30 seconds.

​
Step 3: The expert analyzes the problem

The matched expert can see the full context from the agent. This allows them to quickly diagnose the issue and provide guidance or a solution.

Because the expert has the agent’s context, you do not need to manually re‑explain the problem.

​
Step 4: The solution returns to the agent

The expert’s response is delivered back into the agent’s working context.

The agent then continues the task with the new information—effectively picking up where it left off.
