What we'd love to explore together
Before we start
Proposed agenda · 30 minutes
Intention, who we are, why we started
Our approach, a free first workshop, and real examples
The women you have in mind, and what they need
AI literacy, five live sessions, then Q&A
What we heard, and one concrete next step
Two founders with consulting backgrounds, building a better future alongside our peers, not just for them.
Brings a coaching and human-centered product design approach to learning AI. Enjoys connecting people across cultures and turning ideas into things people can explore and use. Her projects range from a personal digital universe at randing.net to a recovery companion app for a parent in China.
Consults in healthcare. Passionate about tech since childhood, and a feminist by doing. Has lived in Beijing, Munich and now London. Enjoys vibe coding: this website, the Lab's weekly AI news pipeline and its guides were all built with AI.
We saw a gap that isn't fair, and we want to help close it.

of U.S. women use AI chatbots. Trying it is no longer the gap.
use them daily. The gap is depth, confidence and trust.
AI looks more complicated than it is. Our vision: women using AI confidently, on their own terms, to move toward the lives they want.
We help women use AI to make something that matters to them, while building the confidence and judgment to keep going on their own.
Our method
Try it first · free 90-minute workshopOne real thing from work or life, not a tool.
A first version, made live with guidance and the group alongside.
Check what AI got right, decide what stays human, pick a next step.
Our starting idea: an eight-week small group, five live sessions, a project of each person's own, and support between sessions.
We did our research. What we'd most like is to hear what you see.
Who were you thinking of in your network?One or two examples, nothing private. What are they working on or navigating right now?
What have they said about AI?Has anyone already tried it for something?
What would they genuinely want help doing?What would make this feel worth their time?
How do they like to learn and get support?What might make it hard to join something like this?
Which of these feels closest to the women you know?
66%
of women 50+ in work say older workers face age discrimination.
8 in 10
working U.S. women are in jobs highly exposed to generative AI.
3 in 5
of America's 63 million family caregivers are women.
9 in 10
women going through menopause have symptoms.
59%
of women voters 50+ aren't confident they'll have enough to retire.

Years of putting everyone else first, and a question about what they want now.
Generative AI use among U.S. adults 50+ rose from 18% to 30% in a year.
AARP · 202515% of women feel very confident using AI chatbots, compared with 22% of men.
Pew · 202668% of women think AI is moving too fast. Women 50+ worry more about privacy.
Pew · AARPWhat this means
The barrier isn't access. It's trust, confidence, and seeing how AI fits their own lives, which is what a small, human-led group is for.
A first draft built on our fall cohort, to shape together with what we just heard.

Proposed format
For experienced women, AI is a new tool, not the source of their value.
Decades of decisions, mistakes and instincts help them evaluate what AI produces, instead of accepting it blindly.
Professional knowledge, interests and lived experience are raw material no generic prompt library can provide.
The goal is not to automate anyone's humanity, but to use AI deliberately, on their own terms.
Capability and agency grow together. Branches are what someone can do with AI; roots keep them steady.
