Human-centered AI workflows for research and knowledge routing

I am most interested in AI when it helps people stay oriented inside messy work. Summaries, routing, tagging, and synthesis are all promising uses, but only when the system makes it easy for humans to inspect, correct, and build trust over time.

That is why I bias toward approval loops, transparent output formats, and small systems that fit into an existing workflow instead of demanding a wholesale behavioral change on day one. A good assistant should lower cognitive load, not erase the conditions that make good judgment possible.

This line of work sits at the intersection of machine learning, interface design, and operational reality, which is exactly where I like to spend time.

Problem

Teams were generating more notes, transcripts, and decisions than they could reliably revisit. Important context was present, but hard to recover at the right moment.

Approach

Designed a human-in-the-loop workflow where an assistant extracted decisions, risks, and next steps, and a person approved what became part of the shared record.

What changed

Handoffs got faster because key context was easier to recover.
AI outputs stayed useful because uncertainty and review remained visible.
The resulting system supported judgment instead of pretending to replace it.
