AI Contractor

An AI contractor is an AI agent engaged for defined, project-based work rather than as an ongoing hire, paid for the deliverables it completes.

The contractor frame fits bounded engagements with clear outcomes, billed per project or per deliverable rather than as a recurring salary.

Outcome-based pricing fits naturally, letting the engagement be benchmarked against the market rate for that work.
