Where futures are prototyped.

Open research and field notes from SZD Labs: AI for human-mediated communication, evaluation and reliability, and the agentic systems reshaping how we work.

Scroll

We don't build AI to replace thinking. We build, study, and publish systems that extend it.

Open research, applied.

The threads we're studying and publishing as the work develops. New pieces land here.

Human-mediated communicationActive

AI for Human-Mediated Communication

How large language models reshape the way people write, persuade, and connect when the model sits between them, and how to keep the human voice intact.

EvaluationOngoing

Evaluation & Reliability

Frameworks and evals that make agentic systems trustworthy enough to put in front of real users, not just demos.

DeploymentField notes

Agentic Systems in Production

What we learn shipping autonomous and semi-autonomous AI inside real organizations, from first pilot to daily driver.
