I am delighted to pass along this notice from Rafael Romeu, President and CEO of Dev Tech Systems, Inc, and the President of the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy on the board of trustees of which I serve as a member. Thr5ough his efforts, the entire repository of research papers and reports produced since the 1990s  for the Association for the Study of the Cuban economy are now available. The Press Release explains the project this way:

For more than three decades, ASCE CUBA has been studying one central question: what would a transition from dictatorship to a market economy and democracy in Cuba actually look like? Since 1990, that work has produced over 1,000 research papers, creating one of the most comprehensive bodies of scholarship on Cuba’s economic future. Today, Cuba faces perhaps its most severe economic crisis in decades — energy shortages, collapsing infrastructure, and a rapidly deteriorating economy are forcing serious conversations about the country’s future. That makes this repository more relevant than ever.

What DevTech Systems, Inc.'s SAGE does is turn 36 years of research into something interactive. Instead of manually digging through hundreds of papers, researchers and policymakers can explore the archive, ask questions, and see exactly where the evidence comes from. The platform is currently in beta, but given the urgency of the moment we felt it was important to make it available now and begin sharing it with the research and policy community. If you work on Cuba policy, economic transitions, or Latin American development, I encourage you to explore the platform — and welcome feedback as we continue to improve it.

The Press Release and links to the ASCE Repository follows below.

DevTech is proud to announce the launch of DevTech SAGE, an AI-powered research and discovery platform designed to help users search, analyze, and extract insights from complex knowledge repositories.

DevTech SAGE now provides a home for the ASCE Cuba Repository, a curated archive from the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy (ASCE) containing more than 1,000 research documents on Cuba dating back to 1990. This resource comes at a significant time for Cuba - as immense change looms and policymakers and scholars look to plan and research developments.

Users can explore the archive through traditional keyword search and filters such as author or year. The platform also features Ask DevTech SAGE, an AI research assistant that scans the repository, surfaces relevant sources, and highlights the exact pages used to generate answers, making it easy to verify and cite evidence.

By combining AI-powered analysis with transparent, source-based research, DevTech SAGE transforms decades of scholarship into an interactive knowledge engine for researchers, policymakers, and analysts.
