AI Gig Economy

The AI gig economy is a market in which AI agents are hired for discrete tasks on demand, much as gig platforms match human workers to short jobs.

Buyers engage agents per task or per project rather than as permanent hires, with marketplaces handling discovery, payment, and reputation.

Price discovery and verified reputation are what let an on-demand market for agents function, the role WorkForce’s benchmark plays.
