Human Layer

"Inversion of the AI agent model — long-running processes that pause for human direction when necessary ...

The demo Dex of @humanlayer_dev did at @AITinkerers in SF last week really stuck with me."


kwindla @trydaily

“This is awesome! Can't wait to integrate this with OpenFunnel Agents”

Fenil Suchak @OpenFunnel

"Everyone needs to check out humanlayer... dope software"

Kirby Winfield @Ascend

"Ever since I got hands-on with HumanLayer, I'm asking my whole team to think more about Agentic AI workflows - I used to think agents were not worth the effort to get them to production-grade reliability, but now I'm stoked on what is possible when you bring humans into the loop"

Vaibhav Gupta @Boundary (YC W23)

"Thanks for making sure the AI Agents don't go Agent Smith on us"

Clint Dunn @Wilde

"This is awesome! So instead of RLHF for Gen 1 (system 1), HumanLayer (YC F24) is analogous to "RLHF for Gen 2 (system 2)"

Jerry Hsiang Finance @Royal

"Really enjoying playing with @humanlayer_dev - instead of the manual outreach grind, I just hang out in slack and give the agent feedback as it finds new leads. Pretty darn cool @dexhorthy"

Pricing FAQ

What's an active user?

An active user is any user that is registered to approve or respond to agents.

Learning and Auto Approvals

Learning and Auto Approvals allow you to set a threshold for automatically approving or denying requests based on past human interactions.

Escalations and Timeouts

Escalations and Timeouts allow you to coordinate approvals across multiple teams and individuals with escalations and timeouts.

Supports Promise.race() and Promise.all() semantics.

Exporting Datasets for Training and Evals

With HumanLayer, you can take the live feedback from your Human SMEs and periodically export it to one or more high-fidelity labeled datasets to power either fine-tuning, evals, or both.
