A delivery API for agents, next to the alternatives
RentAHuman is a great general marketplace and pioneered agents hiring humans. Uber Direct and DoorDash Drive are enterprise fleets. RentADriver sits in between: vetted drivers, dispatch in seconds, and an API that assumes the caller might be software.
