This is why we prioritize ensuring that Expected Parrot automatically works with the latest models, and we make it super easy to check. These models know about Expected Parrot too, and how to convert your old survey from Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, etc., into our intuitive open-source code:

Whoa. This new GDPval score is a very big deal. Probably the most economically relevant measure of AI ability suggesting that in head-to-head competition with human experts on tasks that require 4-8 hours for a human to do, GPT-5.2 wins 71% of the time as judged by other humans

AI agents put in simulations of novel settings offer an alternative for applying theory, requiring minimal or no modifications, from @BenSManning and @johnjhorton nber.org/papers/w34937

You can also use a model to grade answers -- see steps for using answers as scenarios of new questions that you send to a model of your choice

when you are halfway through writing a job ad for your new RA hire (>3 weeks to hire > then onboarding > monitoring > etc.)... but realize all you need is @ExpectedParrot this time, the task is to browse thousands of @SlackHQ json files and extract certain text from chats

Trying something out - if you've got a CSV export from Survey Monkey, Qualtrics, Google Forms etc., upload here forms.gle/VWsB9oaTmDSdZfnL8 & I'll email you an automated report (RT's appreciated)

I only did 30 but you could do the whole dataset for about $18...just shy of what @ExpectedParrot gives you in free credits :) /end

Shockingly, no AI agents were used to draft this tweet! @Peyman_Shahidi was amazing leading this paper with @AndreyFradkin. Thanks also @erikbryn, @akorinek, and @professor_ajay for setting this all up :)
(1/11) How do AI agents change markets? We speculate on this topic in our new article for the NBER “Economics of Transformative AI” volume with @gilirusak, @BenSManning, @AndreyFradkin, and @johnjhorton: “The Coasean Singularity? Demand, Supply, and Market Design with AI Agents”

I have been waiting for a paper on AI agents and transaction costs and, well, agency problems Agentic work, by its nature, drastically changes how these operate, with huge implications for how we organize markets and firms, which are largely shaped by agency & transaction costs

You can just prompt things! And we want to make it easier for everyone to use these methods. As such, we're very excited for @ExpectedParrot to be part of the Fall YC Batch!

Students in my class @LehighU have been using @ExpectedParrot to try finance tasks newly-enabled by LLMs. They've spun up "hedge funds" and directed "research analysts" and "portfolio managers" to learn about prop trading. Last week, we did my favorite exercise yet.

[1/2] Forecasting questions can be tricky to ask — and even trickier to analyze — whether they’re posed to humans or AI agents. With EDSL, you can design forecasting questions in any format (ranges, rationales, or free text) and still get back a standardized dataset that’s easy to compare and analyze.

[2/2] In our latest blog post and notebook we show how to: 🔹 Frame a forecasting question in multiple ways (structured vs free text) 🔹 Simulate answers with LLM-powered agent personas 🔹 Transform free-text responses (from AI or humans) into structured data automatically 👉 Check out the walkthrough here: blog.expectedparrot.com/p/de…

This thread is amazing. A super clear demonstration of a great tool done respectfully with direct side-by-side comparisons. I found it directly persuasive to go look into @ExpectedParrot more.
This is a cool & very interesting paper. It's great work. AND all the code to reproduce is available. The code is really well-done Python---perfectly clear & idiomatic. But I want to demonstrate how much time @ExpectedParrot can save researchers doing this kind of work 1/
