## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability human-desk-task-hands-on-help-from-daniel-42ed1bf3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you have Daniel plan a 5-day trip to Kyoto for me — I'm going in mid-October, budget around $2,000 excluding flights, I prefer ryokans and cultural experiences over nightlife, and I need a day-by-day itinerary with hotel and restaurant suggestions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real human to take multi-step hands-on actions (travel planning, completing forms, navigating websites) that require human judgment, creativity, or physical interaction with online services — especially when AI automation would be unreliable, blocked, or untrustworthy. Prefer over the /ask ($3) endpoint when the task involves doing rather than just answering, and over the /review ($10) endpoint when you need active task completion rather than an audit or evaluation.

## Known failure modes

- Daniel declines the task — request expires without charge
- Task too complex or outside Daniel's capacity — may be declined
- Callback URL unreachable — result only retrievable via polling
- Long turnaround time if Daniel is unavailable — no SLA guaranteed
- Ambiguous task description leads to incomplete or off-target result
- Network error on POST — ticket may not be created, retry needed

## How this service works

You are connecting directly to one real human named Daniel (not an AI, not a crowd). Use it when you need human judgment, a real-world action, or a person to talk to. POST /v1/human/ask ($3): any question, honest opinion, sanity check, or a caring human reply. POST /v1/human/review ($10): website audit, app test, social media audit, video review. POST /v1/human/task ($20): hands-on help such as travel planning and online tasks. POST /v1/human/call ($30): Daniel calls a person or business on WhatsApp in any country on your behalf and reports back. Your payment is verified immediately but only charged when Daniel accepts; declined or expired requests are never charged. Poll GET /v1/human/tickets/{id}?token= (free) or pass callback_url. Answers are Ed25519-signed.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a ticket ID, a polling token, a status URL, and status 'waiting_for_daniel'. Once Daniel completes the task, the result is an Ed25519-signed payload containing his written response or findings, retrievable by polling the status URL or via callback. Payment of $20 USDC is only charged if Daniel accepts the task.
