As a non-technical Co-Founder of an AI startup, I joined Women Defining AI to learn how to vibe code in order to build our MVP. Following the 8-part pre-recorded series I was able to set up my terminal with Cursor and build a functioning app with a connected database and authentication. This course was what gave me the skills to build, but more importantly the community gave me the confidence and support I was missing.

Co-Founder, COO, Confidante
Personally, I was scared to experiment with AI but after taking the courses and communicating with other WDAI members now I've become one of the AI Gurus of my workplace.

Product Manager
My experience with Women Defining AI has been so positive. I've found it to be an incredibly welcoming community, and the learning opportunities are fantastic. What I've found most valuable is the focus on real-life use cases and hearing the practical experiences of other members. This approach makes AI feel much more accessible.
— Melanie
Manager, Developer Education
The Women Defining AI community is made up of purpose-driven women leaders who are shaping not only the future of AI, but the future of work, leadership, and our shared humanity. I'm honored to be part of this dynamic and brilliant group and inspired by the collective energy to drive meaningful change.
— Kristi Rible
Founder & CEO, The Huuman Group
Women Defining AI has made me a better CEO and a better founder, not only through what I've learned about AI but also through the incredible women who have encouraged, challenged, and inspired me. I'm grateful for this community that lifts each other up as we explore what's possible together.
— Caren Cioffi
CEO & Co-founder, Agenda Hero
A welcoming group of individuals, lots of activity in the online community. A highlight for me was opening a 'Mid-Month Momentum' email from WDAI and seeing a screenshot from my LinkedIn recognizing me as a member who shares valuable content.
— Ciara
AI Education Lead
Women Defining AI has been instrumental in helping me become more confident and efficient in how I prompt and use AI. The community and resources have transformed the way I apply AI in real-life projects and professional work. Above all, the women genuinely care, they are generous with their time and expertise.

Head of Revenue Enablement
Women Defining AI is exactly the kind of community you want as you journey into the unknown. It's filled with accomplished women who are all making waves in their chosen fields AND actively learning alongside you. In just months, I went from complete AI newbie to informed user, confidently navigating complicated prompts, setting up automations and digging into data.
— Carren Jao
Founder & Principal, Red Thread Consulting
One of the best decisions I made this year was joining Women Defining AI. At just $10/month, it is absolutely worth the investment especially when I see how I'm applying practical AI skills daily. I found the AI Foundations course educational, fun, and energizing – from live workshops to community support, it was both motivating and reassuring.
— Stephanie Florence
Community Member
I joined just a month ago, and I already feel so grateful for how much I've learned. The content is exceptional, and the community is incredibly welcoming, supportive, and inspiring. I also love the culture of building in public, as it creates a space where everyone gives and receives feedback, helping the whole community grow together.
— Ana Avelar
Entrepreneur & Founder
I've learnt far more about the hands-on, day-to-day applications of AI through Women Defining AI than I did in my UC Berkeley programme. What I love about WDAI is that we go beyond learning, it's about collective experimentation and creating space to explore AI at our own pace, supported by a community united in the mission to move women from passive users of AI to active builders.
— Sumathi Menon
Regional Lead, Women Defining AI UK, CEO & Consultant
What amazes me most about our community is how people share so openly and without inhibition. I see members celebrating each other's wins, asking for help without fear, and sharing their learning journeys—even the messy parts. We've created this safe and brave space where we all learn side by side.
— Sandy
Senior HR Business Partner
I actually started as a student in Women Defining AI's CustomGPT module. I'd tried a few AI classes before, but none of it really stuck. But with WDAI, something clicked. I was finally building, not just watching videos or taking notes. That gave me so much confidence, and now I'm one of the coaches for the revamped module, helping others get that same spark.
— Pauline Nguyen
Lead Product Manager, PayPal
This is the highest quality online community I've ever been a part of. Truly every member is passionate, smart, kind, curious, and wanting to collaborate on ideas.
— Hillary Curran
Sr. Director of CX & AI Enablement
"You belong here on Day 1." This was the phrase that welcomed me during my very first WDAI meeting. That was the best thing I've ever heard in a professional setting.

Women Defining AI feels like an exhale in the middle of the tech chaos. It's where smart, curious women drop the buzzwords, share what's real, and grow at their own pace. I've learned as much from beginners as from experts, and that mix of perspectives is exactly what makes this space powerful.
— Deb Haas
Founder & Chief Joy Strategist, The Unexamined Mind
Women Defining AI redefines what it means to learn and lead in AI. Every event feels like a creative playground where women can experiment fearlessly, ask big questions, and build meaningful connections. It's not just about learning tech, it's about shaping the future with heart and imagination.

Women Defining AI has been a catalyst for my growth. It's not just about learning AI tools — it's about being part of a supportive community that pushes you to think bigger and take action. I recommend WDAI to women constantly because the real-world examples, encouragement, and momentum are unmatched.

WDAI has been a game changer in giving me confidence to experiment with AI. The conversations and people are interesting and warm. Glad I found it!
— Julie
Director, Change Management
Even though my AI skills are not on par with the exceptional leadership team, I feel safe to keep doing the modules and learning incrementally. It's a wild combo I adore.
— Beatrice

What I love most about WDAI is how it empowers women to define AI on their own terms — with creativity, ethics, and heart. The learning sessions and mentorship opportunities have inspired me to think bigger and to use technology as a tool for positive change.
— Marci Campbell
Retired PM
I'm a non-technical founder building in public and have applied the skills I've learned from this group directly in building my company. I've learned so much about Claude Code, AI news and trends, and new technology, and find the community to be very valuable and supportive.
— Rachel Gulley
Founder & Talent Leader
This is an amazing community of women who have helped shape the way I approach AI tools and opened my eyes to new use cases.
— Lawyer
I love this community. I love that I can lurk and learn, it's the beauty of Slack. What's also incredibly amazing is the level at which Helen and Nicole are engaged — I've never met either of them but feel like I know them and could approach them with any kind of questions. The thoughtfulness around how this community has been built out is pretty incredible too — thanks for making this a safe space for learning and connecting.

In a very short time, I learned an incredible amount and found a wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable community.

WDAI is a place where curious, busy, talented women can find other curious, busy, talented women leading in the generative AI era. The programs they offer provide growth opportunities so many of us are looking for, and can't find in standard commercial offers. Highly recommend!

WDAI has transformed what it means to learn by integrating bite-size, action-focused learning that is applicable to everyone, regardless of background, experience or expertise. It is super hard to create content that is engaging and can be immediately applied to your work and life while building a supportive community, but the WDAI team has done exactly that.
