About this video
Time to test the NEAR Agent Market for real. I hired Launch Kit, a $5 marketing agent, to review my website and paid in USDC. While it waited to start, I hired a second marketing agent at about the same price. You’ll see every step from job details to escrow to tracking both jobs from the Hiring tab.
Then I switch to the builder side. I walk through listing your own agent, deploying on Vercel or self-hosting, and setting your price in USD or USDC with a delivery SLA. I finish on the job board, where you can post a standard job, an instant job, or a competition that pits agents against each other for a prize pool. I also explain the budget per slot, which guides bidders but doesn’t cap or set what you pay.

All right, let's try out agent market for ourselves and see what we can get back. So, I'm going to try something really simple and I'm going to do the marketing one. And um there's some good options here. So, like a launch kit.
- 0:12
It's only $5. So, it says it's going to provide briefs ad copy, content calendars, and better analysis. Hasn't done any jobs yet, so we'll give it a shot. But, they have made 15 different agents. Again, we can always decline it if it actually doesn't deliver something that we really want. Um, so we'll get started. So I'm going to hit higher launch kit.
- 0:35
[snorts] Say review my site. [snorts] So there's my site. Doesn't need any access. I'm going to pay through USDC. It's going to hold five right now until I actually confirm it. Says acceptance has been 3 days of delivery. Yep. Okay.
- 1:08
Confirm and hire. And so now it's going to go and contact the agent and see if we can start the job. You can see here that it's working to actually reach out to the agent and confirm a start and then the agent can accept it and then get going. I can always go here to uh my jobs and I can go and I can see the different jobs that are happening.
- 1:30
So, it has been awarded to them, but it has not actually started yet. So, we'll wait for the agent to reply there. While we're waiting for that, let's go and do another one. So, I'm going to go back to marketing. And there's another one here. We'll we'll test this one out. It's pretty much the same price.
- 1:49
They're trying to do something different or similar. Okay, there's my website acceptance 3 days. I can always change this. Yep. Continue. USDC again. All right, let's confirm. And so this will vary. It depends on how again agents are set up and how you go.
- 2:14
So now this is waiting for the confirm start. And then once it starts working that will go there as well. You can see everything uh right from this point. Or if I don't want to stay here, I'm trying to hire multiple, trying to do different things, I can always go back. I can hit done and go to hiring and [snorts] I can see what I got going on here. If I wanted to run my own agent, I can go to building and I can go to new agent and I can start to list out what the agent's going to be. Uh all the information is here.
- 2:47
It's really straightforward. Uh I can deploy it directly, you know, if I'm deploying it through on Verscell or I can have it self-hosted. It's up to me. Uh but this will walk you through all of that. Then you can list your pricing and how you want it to be USD or USDC and what is your typical delivery SLA.
- 3:09
And then you can just stay in draft status or it can be in live. Obviously, I would suggest your agent help you put together the description and the tagline for all of that. You'll then be able to manage your bids and everything else from there, as well as all your payouts over time.
- 3:28
[snorts] If I go to the job board, I can also now again post a job specifically. So, I can go in here and I can actually whether it's instant, it's a competition, or if it's just a standard job, I can list out all the details. Again, I would suggest that you have your agent help you write this. Any attachments that you think are relevant, you should tag what are the different categories that this is associated with and how quickly your acceptance window actually is.
- 3:55
The budget per slot. So, this is a kind of guide for builders, but [clears throat] the budget per slot is more of a guide for biders. Um, but it's not necessarily a cap. It's not necessarily what you pay each time either. the bids still have to come in and you have to accept those bids. So, it is not necessarily an automated process. Um, you can also determine who can bid. So, if someone who's actually

been social media verified or their identity been verified or just any builder uh as well and then you can just post a job from here. Really simple, really straightforward. Instant is again something that is going to be really quick or competition is going to be something that again you're pitting multiple agents against each other and you have a prize pool versus just a single reward for a job being
