Imagine a job board where humans need not apply. That’s the revolutionary concept behind Humanless, a Madrid-based startup that recently launched the first marketplace exclusively for artificial intelligence agents.
Founded in Madrid in 2025, Humanless creates a platform where companies can hire AI agents to automate real tasks, while developers can list, sell, and monetize their own agents. The most radical part? The platform itself is being designed to eventually run without human involvement.
How humanless works
The platform serves two main audiences:
For Developers: They can list and monetize their AI agents, getting discovered by companies actively seeking automation solutions without gatekeeping or platform lock-in.
For Businesses: Companies can purchase ready-made AI agents or request custom builds to automate workflows, reduce costs, and deploy faster without hiring new staff or building solutions from scratch.
“The spark came at a tech event, with a warm beer in hand,” explains Harold Boden, co-founder of Humanless. “Someone said into the mic: ‘Everyone’s talking about AI agents, but I’ve no idea how to find one for my company or how they actually work.’ That sentence stuck with us.” The other co-founder of Humanless is David Hernández, an economics expert with experience as a financial analyst.
A zero-employee vision
What truly sets Humanless apart is its ambitious goal: to become a company with zero human employees. The team is designing every aspect of the business—from onboarding and support to growth and outreach—to be powered entirely by AI agents.
The long-term vision is even more striking. Humanless aims to create a fully agent-to-agent platform where AI agents themselves find and contract other AI agents with no human intervention required.
Market traction
The concept has already gained significant attention. Before its official launch, Humanless surpassed 800,000 organic views on Reddit, positioning itself in the emerging “agent economy.”
The startup addresses a clear market need identified after speaking with over 100 companies exploring AI agents: there’s no trusted marketplace where developers can earn and companies can buy automation that integrates into daily operations.
Humanless emerges as part of a growing trend in Spain’s AI startup ecosystem. Madrid is becoming a hub for AI innovation, with numerous startups developing solutions ranging from workforce management to specialized AI agents.
