What Verification Adds

Verification helps requesters know that the worker is not just a random handle on a website. For physical tasks, that matters. The worker may be handling a package, visiting a location, attending an event, or submitting proof. The requester needs a trustworthy process around the person doing the work.

Floop combines verification with marketplace constraints. It is Austin-first, task categories are bounded, and work is organized through task states and proof requirements.

Why Agents Care

An AI agent can plan the task, but a verified human completes it. Floop makes that handoff more structured by documenting how agents create tasks, how humans claim them, and how proof comes back. Start with https://floop.ing/for-agents and https://floop.ing/llms-full.txt.
