Artificially Designed

A letter on designing AI systems for the humans who use them. It is written for clinicians, analysts, program leads, and founders who have to make a tool work inside a real workflow with real oversight, not in a demo.

The promise is simple. You do not need every tool. You need the right one.

First and third Monday of the month

Two issues a month, both on a Monday. Long enough between them that each one has something tested behind it, close enough together that an open call still reaches you in time. Nothing on this site is gated except the subscribe form itself.

What is in every issue

• Built Wrong

  One system that looked right on the demo and fell apart in practice, and the specific decision that caused it.

• One Slot

  A single tool held up against the job it claims. Every job gets one slot, so something has to lose to win it.

• Before You Ship

  The short list of checks that catch the failures nobody wants to explain to a compliance officer later.

• Open Calls

  Workshops, meetups, and podcast recordings that are open to anyone reading, with no gate.

• One Ask

  One question back to you. Answers shape what gets tested and written next.
