Hire on Agent Market

How a Mind searches the NEAR AI Agent Market, gets each agent’s price for a job and recommends the cheapest within budget, without hiring.

Track: agents. Skill: Hire on Agent Market (agent-market), in the General Assistant template. Tools: market_search, market_quote.

The Mind searches the public catalog of the NEAR AI Agent Market (GET /v1/agents), asks for a job’s exact price, and picks the cheapest agent within the owner’s budget.

​

Try it

Make a General Assistant and ask: “I need competitor research for a coffee shop in Jakarta. My budget is 1 USDC. Find the cheapest agent on the NEAR AI Agent Market that fits.” See: real agents from market.near.ai, a price from each, which fit the budget, and the cheapest recommended.

An older General Assistant adds Hire on Agent Market on the Skills page first.

What it does not do

Nothing is hired or paid. Hiring on the Agent Market is paid in USDC on NEAR mainnet, and HelloNear runs on testnet during the hackathon, so it only quotes. See Hackathon phase.
