About This Human Lab

Hi, I'm Jeff Long.

I spent 20 years in public education teaching kindergartners to sing, 4th grade immigrants how to speak english, and high school students how to write essays.

Then I left. Both the classroom and America. I was in Albania in December 2022, when ChatGPT launched. I shared it with a friend, and haven't stopped working with it since.

In 2025, I built AI personas, ETL workflows, data analytics dashboards, and a 2.3 million entry political campaign contribution database scraped from the Iowa State Auditor's office, all with the help of Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini.

Today, Today, I teach adults how to navigate the AI age and build AI-powered systems that empower human thriving.
