Harry Does AI

AI systems for social science and policy

Public AI workbench

I am an economist building AI systems for social science and policy.

My goal is to help social scientists and policymakers navigate research, evaluate evidence, and make better decisions.

AI Radar

The AI Radar is a self-running research system that tracks AI developments that matter to social science and AI implementation.

Every morning, two Claude Code skills scan public sources and save the most useful findings as structured library entries. The daily reports work like a newsletter tailored to specific research preferences, and the library keeps the selected work as a growing source of knowledge.

Running daily since July 2026, with 130+ structured entries and 30+ daily reports in the public repository.

Judgment

Domain profiles define what counts as useful for social science and AI engineering.

Guardrails

Python validators protect reports, paths, queues, metadata, and append-only history.

Archive

Reports, library entries, rejections, source proposals, runbooks, and incidents are public.

AI scans the sources and makes the first review. Before anything enters the library, the code checks that it follows the rules. If a source is unclear, the system sends it to human review.
