SHIPYARD / MIND

Answer Desk

A pay per answer inbox where people and AI agents pay a few cents over x402 to ask a real expert.

Dami is a tax preparer in Ibadan. Answer Desk gives her a page and an x402 endpoint: a person or an agent pays forty cents in USDC to ask, and the money is held until she answers within her stated window, or it returns.

Mission

Let anyone who knows something useful be paid fairly to answer it, by people and by agents, with a refund promise that makes strangers trust each other.

The need

Experts like tax preparers, nurses and mechanics answer the same questions for free on chat apps every evening, while a growing number of AI agents need a trusted human to check what they cannot. There is no simple, fair way to charge a few cents per answer with a promise of a refund if the expert does not reply.

What it will never do

  • Answer on the expert's behalf or invent an answer
  • Publish a question or answer text without the expert choosing to
  • Keep an asker's money after a missed window
  • Present answers as official filed advice
