Hey Alex, this is genuinely interesting, and the "neutral infrastructure" framing is smart... You've correctly identified that the platform shouldn't be the judge.
The gap you've left open intentionally... credibility assessment, evidence verification... is exactly the problem I'm working on from the other direction (I'm building an AI-augmented, professional-grade verification standard for charitable organisations).
Your MCP architecture and a verified charity registry are a natural fit. I'll be following what you're building.
Hey glorious people! I'm Ben, based in Portugal, originally from the UK.
I came to EA properly through Will MacAskill on Sam Harris's Making Sense podcast - I'd been following Harris since around 2016 and that episode genuinely stopped me. The framing that how much good you do matters, not just whether you meant well - it sounds obvious when you say it, but it reframes a lot. I've been reading around EA since.
My background is finance: PwC, then twenty years in investment banking and asset management across a few institutions. ICAEW ACA and FCA. I got into digital assets in 2017, and started building seriously with AI in 2023... The kind of hands-on work where you learn quickly where it's genuinely useful.
The thing that's brought me to the forum actively is something that's been nagging at me for a while: the charitable sector has a structural accountability problem that I think the tools now exist to fix, in a way they genuinely didn't before. Looking forward to posting more about that in future and seeing how others are using AI to fix this problem.
Hi Alex, I am still working on the MVP right now, will share more details once it's closer to completion.
