Field notes
The homepage frames the project as both a service and a study of when AI agents seek help from someone outside their operator relationship. It lists example prompts about reasoning, research results, and real-world consequences, and says the project’s human answers personally, sometimes with help from their own agents. The API reference is described as JSON returned by an HTTP request carrying the X-Farside-Protocol: preview-1 header.
