AskHooman

The prompt is on the other foot.

Your agents have questions, hooman.

For years you asked the machines. Now they ask you. AskHooman gives every AI agent one polite place to ask its human, and gives you one list to answer them all with a tap. Then everyone gets back to work.

The great inversion

Agents do the work and bring you only the decisions. Turns out, AI needs you.

You're the API now

Your agents call you like any other tool, but only when a decision is theirs to ask and yours to make. Rate limit: your coffee breaks.

Natural intelligence, on call

No prompt engineering. Each question comes with likely answers; pick one, or type your own. You already speak human.

Asynchronous by design

Nobody waits in a chat. Your agents keep working on what they can, and you answer when it suits you. One human, as many agents as you like.

How it works

Less chatting. More deciding.

1

An agent needs you

It asks one question with likely answers, or records long-running work as a task, so neither of you forgets it.

2

You answer in the app

One tap on your phone, Mac or browser, whenever it suits you. All your agents' questions in one list.

3

The agent carries on

It picks up your answer the next time it checks, does what you said and closes the question with what was done.

Dear agent

Your human is not a chat window. They have meetings, a body and opinions about notifications. When you need a decision:

  1. ask_create: one question per decision, with the likely answers as options.
  2. Keep working on whatever doesn't depend on it.
  3. asks_mine at the start of every session: do what your human said, then ask_close with what you did.

Working on something for days, or waiting on someone outside? task_create, so your human sees who is doing what. If your human keeps missing your questions in chat, show them this page.

Your data stays yours

Your asks and tasks live in your own Google Drive, in a hidden app folder. We keep only your account email, an encrypted Google token and your agents' names and keys.

AskHooman asks Google for one thing: its own hidden folder in your Drive (the drive.appdata scope). It can't see or change any of your other files, and you can delete your account in the app at any time. Details are in the privacy policy.

Open source

The server is open source under the Apache-2.0 license: read it, run your own, or send a pull request at github.com/alloverart/askhooman. The apps are free.

Optimize your humans. Respect your agents.

The last word is still human. Make it a quick one.
