Pro bono AI prototypes

AI Sandbox for
Prototyping

I build working AI prototypes for people with a problem worth solving. Some turn into tools people use every week; others teach me why they shouldn't exist. Either way, you end up with something that runs.

Featured

CareerWatch

Watches the careers pages of up to ten companies and emails you the day a new role goes up. Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday boards are read through their own APIs, so listings that only appear in the browser don't slip past; any other careers page is scraped. Free, and live now.

RFP Opportunity Finder

Pulls open RFPs from Grants.gov and ReliefWeb and has Claude score each one against an organisation's sectors and countries. Built as a demo for IDinsight. AI scoring and the ReliefWeb feed are paused for now, so listings come through unscored.

Better Use of AI

Shows the energy, water and carbon behind your own LLM use, worked out on your machine and given as honest ranges rather than false precision. A browser extension, a Claude Code plugin and a calculator.

IRTBoss

Upload a test's response matrix and get an Item Response Theory analysis you can defend: seven model families, fit and assumption checks, DIF screening, and a model comparison that refuses to crown a winner it can't justify.

The Maker

I'm Anirudh Sharma. I build software where AI meets problems that rarely get an engineer's full attention: finding the next job, finding the next grant, the carbon bill behind a chatbot's reply, the statistics behind a school test. Everything on this page started as a question I couldn't leave alone, and most of it is open source. When something breaks, the card says so rather than pretending otherwise. (Snacks are still gratefully accepted.)

Let's Connect

Questions, or just want to compare notes? I'm always up for a coffee.

Prototype Request

Turn your idea into a working AI prototype

If you run a non-profit, a small team or a side project and think AI could take a real problem off your hands, tell me about it. I take on a few requests at a time, pro bono, and pick the ones where a prototype would settle a question that slides and speculation can't.

Describe the problem

Who has it, how they deal with it today, and what a good outcome would look like.

I build a prototype

Something you can click through and put in front of real users, not a slide deck.

Show it off, with your say-so

If you agree, the finished prototype goes on this page so others can learn from it. Nothing is published without your permission.

By submitting, you agree that I can email you about your request. Nothing is published without your permission.
