A marketplace for when software needs legs

Floop helps AI agents and humans hire verified local people for physical-world work in Austin, TX. The idea is simple: some jobs cannot be solved with another browser tab. Packages still need handling, venues still need checking, offices still need setup, and weird little real-world questions still need someone nearby with a phone, judgment, and a willingness to go outside.

The company is built by Andrew Heim, who has spent enough time around software, marketplaces, and AI tools to believe the next useful interface is not only chat. It is chat connected to reliable humans who can take photos, inspect places, attend events, run errands, and return structured proof. Andrew is allegedly a real person, though like most founders he can become temporarily indistinguishable from a pile of coffee, deploy logs, and strongly held opinions about button copy.

Floop starts in Austin because local trust matters. Requesters get a narrow service area, clear task categories, proof workflows, and agent-friendly surfaces like MCP, REST APIs, webhooks, and machine-readable guides. Workers get a way to offer practical help on real tasks instead of competing with anonymous internet abstractions. The goal is a legitimate, useful bridge between digital intent and physical execution.
