Good work is half the work.
If the half you automate is the right half. And if the half that stays with people is the half that genuinely needs judgement.
Jobs are changing faster than titles can keep up.
Do everything yourself and you burn out. Hand everything to “the AI” and you produce nonsense at scale. The truth sits in between — and it is far more personal than any platform believes.
half-work is the link between the domain expert and the AI. We curate freelancers with real subject knowledge, train them in applied AI through our partner KOMPETAI, and run the finished agents on a sovereign EU platform (Qognio, data centre in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany). In between sits the part nobody else does: translating domain knowledge into workflows that actually run.
Behind every engagement there is a person standing behind the tool — a specialist who designed the workflow or the agent, and whom you can call when the AI hits its limit. That is not a feature. That is the whole product.
We believe that in five years nobody will work without an agent. But anyone working without a human behind it will have a trust problem — and anyone betting on US cloud will have a GDPR and AI Act problem at the same time. half-work sells both cleanly separated and cleanly bundled: people plus sovereign AI, in one contract.
The people behind the agents
Profiles are currently listed pseudonymously — senior domain, years in the field, AI toolstack and rate range are visible. Real name, photo, CV and a verifiable identity credential (checkable on just.callthe.dev) come to you directly after the briefing. Liability towards clients runs through half-work as the contracting party.
