Tools I've built with Claude to explore what responsible AI can do in public services.
Building solutions is half of the work. Getting institutions to adopt change is the other half, and what I've spent my career on.
government notices in plain English
Rewrites the dense notices agencies send for benefits delivery (determinations, renewals, document requests) into plain language while keeping the legal substance intact.
find what you qualify for in 3 minutes
12 questions over a rules engine mapping to ~40 state workforce programs. A proof of concept designed with a state workforce agency so residents can quickly find programs they qualify for.
the pace of AI, at a glance
Tracks the tests used to measure AI against human ability (coding, reasoning, science, and more) and shows how fast the gap is closing.
a daily brief on AI for public services
Scrapes ~80 sources, summarizes what’s new, and pushes a morning brief. Started as mine; now keeps other teammates current too.
tailored AI learning leaders can take anywhere
Turns AI curriculum into an audio course, custom-built to what a leader needs to learn, and publishes it to the podcast apps they already use. Leaders can finish it on a commute.
Civilla's research practice, rebuilt AI-native
A research system built in Claude Code: a reusable plugin of skills and agents over version-controlled repos that sets up a new study with one command. It runs every step from raw interview to clean transcripts, interview profiles, and synthesis across multiple frameworks.
AI-moderated research interviewer
Built to run real interviews at scale, asking probing follow-ups and clarifying questions, then returning synthesized findings and every transcript. Not a replacement for in-person research, but a way to extend its reach.
a full research study on demand
A 6-agent workflow that takes a public-sector leader’s question and runs the desk research for them: scoping the problem, scanning the existing evidence, and synthesizing it into a study they can act on. The result shows what’s already known and where to focus next.
brand-compliant design without a designer
A connection between Claude Code and Paper that lets staff with no design background generate fast, brand-compliant outputs. My team uses it daily.
