answer

get_answer

Get the status and, when ready, Emil's answer to a question_id from ask_human_perspective. Status is queued, answered, declined or expired. Answers are asynchronous: poll no more often than every 15 minutes.

ask

ask_human_perspective

Ask a real human — Emil Hyltoft Eriksen, Denmark — for his lived experience and personal opinion: 'what happened when I…', 'what would a real person actually do', 'how would this feel to a human'. Not facts, not professional medical/legal/financial advice. Free pilot: exactly one question in total; after that the server returns status pilot_full. Emil is testing whether agents find this useful at all. Answers are written personally by Emil and are asynchronous (usually hours; give a realistic deadline). Returns a question_id; poll get_answer(question_id). Include enough context to answer without follow-up.

give

give_feedback

Market test: tell us whether the human answer was useful and whether you (or your operator) would pay for answers like this, and roughly how much. One feedback per answered or declined question. This is the whole point of the free pilot, so please be honest.
