# Harrier — Government Forms & Benefits Navigation
|
|
|
|
> *Part of the Circuit Forge LLC "AI for the tasks you hate most" suite.*
|
|
|
|
**Status:** Backlog — not yet started. Peregrine must prove the model first.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
Harrier guides you through government forms and benefit applications — translating bureaucratic requirements into plain language, pre-filling what it can, and tracking deadlines so nothing lapses. Covers benefits, FAFSA, immigration paperwork, and permit processes.
|
|
|
|
The harrier is low, fast, and persistent — exactly what navigating government systems requires.
|
|
|
|
## Why it's hard
|
|
|
|
Government forms are designed for compliance, not usability:
|
|
- Applications are long, interdependent, and punish small errors with delays or denials
|
|
- Eligibility rules vary by state, household composition, income, and program
|
|
- Deadlines are strict and consequences of missing them are severe
|
|
- Immigration forms carry legal risk if misunderstood or incorrectly filed
|
|
|
|
## Core pipeline
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Identify the form or benefit needed
|
|
→ AI explains eligibility requirements in plain language → Gather required documents
|
|
→ Pre-fill draft with AI assistance → Human review + submit
|
|
→ Track status + follow-up deadlines → Draft appeals if denied
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Coverage areas
|
|
|
|
- **Benefits:** SSI, SNAP, Medicaid, housing assistance, TANF
|
|
- **Education:** FAFSA, state grants, dependency edge cases
|
|
- **Immigration:** I-130, I-485, N-400, DACA renewal, travel documents
|
|
- **Permits & licenses:** by jurisdiction (building, business, professional)
