AI Agent News Today
Sunday, February 8, 2026AI Agents Go Live Today
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek launched AI.com, a platform for autonomous AI agents he acquired for $70 million in cryptocurrency. The platform lets users deploy AI to handle real-world tasks like trading, automating workflows, and managing calendars—all while keeping your data private. The big debut happens during Super Bowl LX with a nationwide ad.
Humans Now Have a New Gig: Renting Themselves to AI
A new platform called Rentahuman.ai flipped the script: AI agents can now hire humans for physical work they can't do. Built by engineer Alexander Liteplo, the platform already has 130+ sign-ups within hours. Workers list their skills and get paid in cryptocurrency, with rates between $50-$69 per hour. The concept is simple: AI handles decisions, you handle the real-world tasks.
