About the Project

You will create complex, realistic tasks that push frontier AI agents to their limits. Think scattered data, conditional procedures, and genuine domain expertise required. You'll build a detailed version with objective scoring, then write an ambiguous version intended to train the agent to succeed with less hand-holding. Real expert complexity only. You're improving the AI tools you'll eventually use yourself.
