DocETL creator Shreya Shankar launches DocWriter, a UC Berkeley research project targeting long-horizon AI writing agents

Super excited to receive a Laude grant for DocWriter! AI is revolutionizing knowledge work, but AI-assisted writing is still atrocious. So we're building a new harness and UI for writing. Along the way we'll tackle some broadly-applicable challenges: (i) harnesses that natively support async human-AI collaboration, (ii) steering long-horizon (e.g., multi-month) agents, and (iii) open-source frameworks for automatic, continual evals as models and human behavior drift (e.g., new slopwords arise).
