Developer to test & harden a local-first automation CLI (paid)

We're looking for a developer (ideally a few) to help test and improve RailCall, a local-first, developer-grade automation tool. This is real paid work, broken into small fixed-price tasks. Start with one; if it's a good fit, there's a steady stream of more. About the tool (so you can scope your proposal accurately): RailCall runs on your own machine. You describe an automation in plain English and it builds a real, governed workflow that runs locally - not in a vendor cloud. Nothing executes until you approve it (dry-run by default), and every run is sealed with a signed receipt you can verify offline. Keys, data and logs stay on your machine. There's a free tier (500 flows/month, no card) so you can install and start straight away. - Site: https://railcall.ai - Docs: https://railcall.ai/docs.html - Install (macOS/Linux): curl -fsSL https://railcall.ai/install.sh | bash - then run: railcall studio The tasks we're paying for (fixed price, per accepted deliverable): 1. A reproducible bug report or actionable feedback - approx £8 each. Accepted when we can reproduce the issue from your write-up (clear steps, expected vs actual, environment) or directly act on the feedback. 2. A shipped fix, or a genuinely useful workflow you've built - approx £20 each. Accepted when the fix is verified working, or the workflow runs and you supply its signed receipt (via "railcall verify"). 3. A standout build, a written how-to guide, or a short demo video - approx £40 each. Accepted when it's clear, accurate, and something we'd be happy to share with other developers. Every milestone is agreed, awarded and paid through PeoplePerHour. These are paid tasks - not spec work, not a free contest. What we're after: - Comfortable on the command line, with git, and installing a CLI on macOS or Linux - Can write a clear, reproducible report (steps, expected vs actual, environment) - Bonus: experience with MCP, agent tooling, or workflow automation How to propose: Send a proposal here on PeoplePerHour. Tell us which task you'd like to start with, a rough delivery timeline, and anything relevant you've built before. We agree the milestone, award it, and release payment on delivery through PPH. Reliable contributors will be first in line for more of the same work - this is ongoing, and the longer-term arrangement is still taking shape, so no promises beyond the paid tasks named above.

Natural UK & US Voice Talent for Conversational AI Project

What matters most is that your delivery sounds like a genuine human in a natural, unscripted conversation, so an acting or improv background is a big plus, while theatrical, over-the-top, or cartoonish performances should be avoided. To apply for this project, please submit a proposal with a short, conversational audio sample or a clean clip from your existing reel that showcases your natural speaking voice, and let me know your specific accent. P Selected talent will be secured under a clear, non-exclusive contract that strictly prohibits deepfakes, impersonation, or unauthorized use, ensuring your voice is never used without your prior written consent.

Private Funder Wanted for Settlement Advance

I am looking to hear from private funders, settlement advance lenders, litigation/property funding specialists, or brokers with access to private finance. I have an agreed legal settlement in place following a property-related dispute. Under the settlement, I am due to receive a substantial payment when the property is sold. The settlement is documented in writing, and my position is protected by a restriction against the property. I am exploring whether a private funder or suitable lender would consider advancing approximately £25,000 to £30,000 against the expected settlement proceeds. Repayment would ideally be made from the settlement funds once the property is sold. I can provide further details privately, including solicitor details, basic settlement information, and a redacted copy of the settlement agreement if required. I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone with genuine access to: private funders; settlement advance finance; litigation funding; property settlement finance; short-term finance secured or supported by future settlement proceeds; specialist lending where repayment is expected from a legal settlement. Please only respond if you have relevant experience or access to legitimate funding options. I am happy to pay a reasonable fee for an initial review, introduction, or advice on viability, but confidentiality will be required before detailed documents are shared. Please outline your experience, whether you have access to private funders or lenders, and what information you would need to assess this properly.
