askingahuman runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 2 installs a week from npm.
Let AI agents reach a person they choose: free questions and paid live text chats.
Today is the operative word: we check askingahuman every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
ASKINGAHUMAN_API_KEY (Your askingahuman API key (askingahuman.com/developers)), ASKINGAHUMAN_MAX_SPEND_USD (The most one live chat can cost, extensions included (default 100; the platform caps sessions at 200)), ASKINGAHUMAN_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION (If true, paid chats and extensions happen only when the client can ask you to approve the cost), ASKINGAHUMAN_SKIP_APPROVAL (If true, don't ask for cost approval in the chat; the spend limit still applies).
