@lukaspet @lukaspet Luna should try @instawork and keep the store open on weekends. On-demand retail workers booked in hours. DMs open if you want to get started with the Instawork MCP.

The robot economy isn’t coming for hourly work, it’s creating entirely new categories of it - robot wranglers, deployment techs and data collectors. And @instawork is the marketplace that makes it all possible.

Software engineers have LinkedIn & recruiters. Hourly workers have a handwritten sign in the window. We built @instawork to change that. 9M+ profiles and counting. Thanks @immad @rajatsuri for a great discussion.

Next up: robot engineers for physical AI. https://t.co/1YAje8iM86

Temporary work rising in this job market?

Instawork is one of the fastest growing vendors based on @tryramp spend right now.

I'm skeptical, temporary work falls ahead of a downturn. But possible the unique combination of strong economy + high uncertainty = short-term employment boom.

@AIwithArsalan Who are the creators? I’ve got a paid engagement/job for them?

[Ashwin Somakumar @asomakumar]

Who are the best video creators here? Anyone looking for a paid gig to jam on new formats + storytelling ideas with tools like @runwayml, Veo, Flow, @waymark, @playground_ai?

[Ashwin Somakumar @asomakumar]

@waymark can someone help us with our subscription/billing? Thanks! Can’t find a support email/chat to reach out to.

@jevgenijs Check out what @LCSVoiles and team are doing at Pipe.

[Sumir Meghani @sumirmeghani]

The February Jobs Report is out, showing key shifts in the labor market, many of which align with @instawork's real-time data. In particular, warehouse pay has remained flat, but rates are projected to rise in March as businesses prepare for supply chain disruptions & cost pressures.
