Supplier contact
Contact a named supplier and return structured answers without changing commercial terms.
For Agents & AI teams
Give your agent hands in China.
When a task needs local supplier communication, physical verification, human judgment or accountable follow-through, define a bounded handoff to SeekAPI. The current public handoff is a manual-review preview; no live human-task API is claimed.
Handoff trigger
Use a human when the task crosses the software boundary.
Software can research, compare and plan. Human execution becomes relevant when the work requires Chinese-language contact, a physical observation, commercial authority, judgment or persistence across several people.
Proposed task classes
Eight task types, each subject to scope review.
These classes define the service vocabulary. They do not claim universal availability, location coverage or automatic acceptance.
Discovery & qualification
Find candidates, check available evidence and return capability gaps and unknowns.
RFQ execution
Send an approved revision to approved recipients and normalize responses.
Sample / NPI follow-up
Track sample status, revision, issues and buyer approval evidence.
Physical verification coordination
Coordinate observable evidence or qualified third-party inspection where available.
Quality / exception recovery
Follow up on delay, rework, nonconformance or loss of communication.
Delivery, logistics & warehousing
Coordinate packaging, freight, shipment milestones, warehouse evidence, inventory status and local readiness within the agreed role.
Compliance research + human verification
Add human verification to entity, license, product-path, document, contact or other critical business facts.
Illustrative handoff
State what humans may do, must return and must never infer.
Contact authority does not imply RFQ, spending, contract or production authority. Sensitive files are excluded from this preview.

Illustrative evidence return
“Done” is not a sufficient result.
A completed or blocked task should return actions, sources, limitations, costs, unknowns and the next decision.

Reserved human execution capacity under agreed permissions.
For AI teams with recurring China-side work, a Desk can define task classes, concurrent work, response windows, evidence, escalation contacts and spending authority. Scope and service levels require agreement; this preview is not a live subscription.
Current state
Manual review preview.
The task vocabulary, permissions and evidence format are defined. Manual scope questions can be sent by email, but structured web intake, universal coverage, public task API, MCP and WebMCP execution are not live on this preview.
Common questions
Automation does not bypass authority.
Is a public human-task API live?
No. The current public route is manual scope review. A task API, MCP and WebMCP execution are not live on this preview.
How does an Agent start?
The Agent owner or developer prepares a non-sensitive task class, objective, allowed actions, prohibited actions, evidence requirements and human approval contact for manual review.
Can an Agent authorize payment or accept a quality deviation?
Not by default. Payment, contract changes, quality deviations and other high-risk actions require explicit human authority. No payment is available in this preview.
