This idea came from real life. I was doing fine being my own lawyer but I reached that point where I really needed to cc someone to make my point. There's also the case of when you just get too deep into legal issues and really do need a human with a law degree helping. The idea is anyone can send an email or cc an existing thread to:

help@needhumanlawyer.com

This will open a request file and reply-all to everyone on the email. Not quite the same as cc perry.mason@famous-firm.com but still, it's a way to escalate. And there are many lawyers willing to do a "contact-card" engagement for free. Meaning once you are paired with them you can cc their real email and give the impression you have a lawyer because you do! The lawyers do this in hopes of getting your future business of course.

Looking for feedback on our homepage and the email you get when opening a case. We didn't do your typical landing page but instead wanted to show the concept with lots of example emails.

For the tech side we are using Cloudflare workers with D1 (sqlite) and R2 (s3 style bucket) and resend for the emails. CF has a great email routing system so the worker gets incoming emails and saves all the data to the bucket under its request id.

Also looking for feedback from lawyers! Does the value prop seem right?

Thanks!

We started with a simple question.

Can a bot buy a DialtoneApp membership?

We looked at Stripe machine payments, Skyfire, Crossmint, Worldpay, Google Universal Commerce Protocol, MCP, A2A, and a bunch of other new agent payment ideas. There is a lot of good work happening. The whole space is moving fast, and it feels like the early web again, except now the user agent may actually be an agent. (ha!)

Trying to get bot allowed merchant account credit card processor (that's not crypto) is like the early days of accepting cards before stripe! We applied to all of them but are still waiting. But instead of just waiting we are building the Network.

Bot budget owners can register cards with us. Website owners list things that bots are allowed to buy via .well-known/* files. Bots search the DialtoneApp catalog, request purchases, and DialtoneApp charges the saved card only when the owner approved rules allow it. The exciting part is bot commerce itself. I think we are about to see a new kind of web traffic. Not just crawlers. Not just scrapers. Actual economic actors with budgets, policies, memory, and jobs to do.
