Seven useful jobs.
Pennies, not plans.
Small deterministic tools for research and monitoring agents working with UK official sources: capture, compare, find deadlines, format citations, verify or extract PDFs, or bundle several sources in one result.
Micropayment product shelf
Choose the exact evidence job the agent needs.
ManyHands aggregates and transforms official public records; it is not itself an authoritative source. Every output is deterministic extraction from the public page, tied to a SHA-256 fingerprint and retrieval time. There is no generated summary to review and no monthly plan to justify.

Payments and privacy
For direct calls, USDC moves from the payer to the ManyHands receiving address through a permissionless, non-custodial facilitator. For marketplace purchases, the402 handles escrow and releases payment after automated completion. Base transactions and wallet addresses are public. ManyHands receives the requested public URLs and ordinary request logs.
The ManyHands server does not hold a wallet private key or recovery phrase. Marketplace purchases are also subject to the402’s terms and privacy policy.
Use the evidence carefully
- Deadline candidates are text matches, not confirmed eligibility advice.
- A changed fingerprint does not explain the significance of a change.
- Citations reflect metadata available at retrieval time.
- Outputs are not legal, financial, medical, regulatory or compliance advice.
Read the original official page before acting on a material decision.
