Consultant Aniket Panjwani revealed he spent a week at Harvard in July training economists at Opportunity Insights on agentic coding with Codex and helping build an organization-wide AI strategy.
- OI's constraints: large teams with varied roles; restricted data that rules out frontier models in RDCs; research communication (e.g., Opportunity Atlas) matters as much as publication.
- Approach: org-wide Codex agentic coding workshops, plus rethinking research workflows step by step.
- Commenters noted every research org needs this kind of deep rethink of how research is produced and collaborated on.
