Everyone is building for a world of agents and towards a world of free intelligence.. But I imagine, even in that world, there is going to be a human "api" that agents plug into when they need help with things from humans. Wondering what those things will be.

I don't see how intelligence can be "free". In order for something to be free, it has to have no inputs and only outputs. I don't know of a single thing where this applies.
Something could be subjectively free but that just means you're getting subsidized and someone else is paying for it, or you're paying for it in another, indirect way.
I suspect, when intelligence is free:
If internet forums existed when we were hunter gatherers, I can imagine a post titled "What problems exist when food is easy to acquire, cheap, and ubiquitous?"
Our current problems are largely constrained by intelligence, so that's why people are obsessed with creating more of it and can't see beyond it. Once intelligence is free, we'll take it for granted, the game will change, and we'll be constrained by something else.
You seem to be asking what problems exist shortly after though. Free intelligence will precede things like:
That's at least what comes to mind immediately.
rock solid list. Energy feels like the big one. Reprogramming of all sorts feels big too -- humanoid bodies, biological reprogramming of all kinds (aging reversal, disease elimination). In some ways human mind reading/free consciousness is a form of reprogramming our ability to manipulate reality -- and I wonder what more we'll be able to do here.
This answer was motivated by a conversation I had in Pleb Lab today. Space Ted shared an anecdote where a culture answered "food" when asked "what's the meaning of life?" If what we spend most of our time doing is the meaning of life, many of us would answer "refining information."
One problem is that intelligence will be more free for some than for others. We don't all have vast reserves of oil or nuclear power stations with which to power the intelligence.
Also, there is/will be the problem of evil people with lots of money combining it with robotics to form enormous armies where all soldiers are interconnected to each other as well as a super brain.
That will lead other states to do the same in order to be able to defend themselves, which then leads to states with the power to deploy vast robotic armies on their own people if they step out of the matrix
Selection, curation: relevance.

I find the question fascinating. It reminds me of this article, "You Have 5000 Days. How To Navigate The End Of Work As We Know It", which also attempts to answer a similar question: "what will we do “for a living” when we enter [...] The Age Of Abundace?"
The article may as well provide you with the answer to your question about what it means to be human. I believe AI will give us the time and space to think about those things more deeply...
LOVE Brian!
If intelligence is everywhere, then persistence is everything. To be successful you used to have to know something and then be determined to get things done. Now the knowing part is taken care of. Supply vs demand.
What's "scarce" is always the thing that ends up with tremendous value.
People being toxic as fuck already
