Ruqaiya led one of the best agentic AI sessions I’ve attended. The workshop was clear, easy to follow, and immediately applicable. In ninety minutes, we built working agents from scratch. Her instructions were simple. Her examples showed what is possible without overwhelming anyone. I walked in with only a vague idea of how to build an agent. I walked out with one I created myself, ready to use every week. It was a valuable and energizing experience, and I’m grateful Women in Technology Austin brought her in.

The ZRF Group's training on Prebunking AI-Generated Health Misinformation was engaging and well-researched. I really appreciated how they integrated specific case studies and examples to demonstrate concepts (e.g., the 5 ways AI can misinform). The training leaves participants with clear action steps and strategies for pre-bunking (or preventing people from falling for misinformation in the first place), which I found really valuable! I highly recommend this team if you're looking for training on AI health literacy.

Excellent and simplistic explanation of a relatively complex topic for someone like me who is fairly technologically illiterate. LOVE how you talk about different tools (whether for writing, images, videos, etc) that are available, no matter what the field of your work. Chuckled surprisingly when I learned how AI tools can be used to help everyday mundane tasks like shopping lists. Would love to continue this path of learning about AI, especially because I feel threatened by how it is going to replace me at work!

- Nooriyah Kheyroolla • Director
Zainab S's avatar

I have have some basic understanding of AI and AI tools, but the Amplify Your Amazing with AI workshop was still very valuable for me! It is rare to have something so tailored to the needs of moms, so was very validating to have the unique challenges and mental load of moms addressed and how AI can help. Very intimidating concepts are broken down in easy to understand ways, and it feels amazing to know about all of the cutting edge technologies as well as tips for maintaining privacy and safety when using them.

Working with Ruqaiya from ammi.ai has been one of the highlights of my journey in the AI and parenting space. From co-hosting events to building community together, she has been an exceptional collaborator and thought partner. Ruqaiya is one of the most insightful voices in AI literacy today. She is sharp, grounded, and deeply committed to making this space more inclusive and accessible. She challenges me in the best ways, makes me want to do better, and brings so much joy and curiosity to every interaction. I always walk away having learned something new. I’m grateful for her partnership and inspired by her leadership.

Ruqaiya was incredible to work with. Her knowledge, empathy and passion speaks strongly through her work at ammi.ai. Through the Internet Street Smarts microgrant program, Ruqaiya created an incredible space for community members to come together and speak about digital safety issues that most concern them. As well, Ruqaiya facilitated the opportunity for the community members to take the Internet Street Smarts course. The impact of this event was outstanding, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her!

From start to finish, she was professional, communicative, and truly understood how to connect with our audience. Her presentation was engaging, packed with knowledge, and delivered in a down-to-earth style that resonated with attendees across various age groups. It was clear that she knows her subject inside out and has a real talent for making complex topics accessible. The collaboration with Johar’s Place was seamless, and we truly appreciated her thoughtful approach to marketing and outreach. This workshop was a valuable addition to our initiatives, and I highly recommend partnering with Ruqaiya at ammi.ai for organizations looking to empower women through AI education.

As an absolute novice in the world of AI, I really appreciate that ammi.ai focuses on how AI can help in in various aspects of your life (personal or professional) therefore making it easier and quicker to complete tasks that are otherwise time consuming. As a business owner, I am constantly racing against time and using some of the tools that are recommended can be used very effectively. The best part was the focus on real-world applications of AI, showing how it can be used specifically in my industry. Ruqaiya's passion and enthusiasm were contagious during the workshop and she busted a lot of my myths. The content was well-structured and simplified, making it perfect for a beginner like me. I have invited co-workers to attend the workshop with me and will continue to do so! Thanks so much ammi.ai! You have opened my eyes to a whole new world.

We collaborated with Ruqaiya from ammi.ai to deliver a 90-minute workshop on creating AI Agents to our members and prospective member audience after she graciously attended one of our in-person events as a panelist the previous month. Working with Ruqiaya and ammi.ai was such a joy. Ruqaiya is one of the most genuinely warm individuals you will meet and her ability to communicate seemingly complex concepts in an accessible and applicable way is impressive.

From start to finish, she was professional, communicative, and truly understood how to connect with our audience. Her presentation was engaging, packed with knowledge, and delivered in a down-to-earth style that resonated with attendees across various age groups. It was clear that she knows her subject inside out and has a real talent for making complex topics accessible. The collaboration with Johar’s Place was seamless, and we truly appreciated her thoughtful approach to marketing and outreach. This workshop was a valuable addition to our initiatives, and I highly recommend partnering with Ruqaiya at ammi.ai for organizations looking to empower women through AI education.

The AI world is progressing at a dizzying rate and sometimes it feels like I can’t keep up. Thanks to ammi.ai, I’m able to keep track of all the good things it has to offer and what to stay away from, in a humorous, easy to understand, ammi friendly format!

Reading Ammi.ai is a highlight of going through my email inbox. I love learning about new AI tools to integrate into my personal and professional life, and ethical and policy considerations of AI given its increasingly significant role in our world.

Every email is like reading a letter from a friend. I enjoy learning about new technology that's easy to swallow and being used by someone who is similar to me.

Ammi.ai is a newsletter that I always open right away! I can expect relevant AI tips for me as a mom, a better understanding of how AI works, and lots of humor mixed in. I've become more open and confident using AI tools while also being aware of some of their pitfalls. I recommend the newsletter to anyone who needs to know about AI and wants to laugh—aka everyone!

As an absolute novice in the world of AI, I really appreciate that ammi.ai focuses on how AI can help in in various aspects of your life (personal or professional) therefore making it easier and quicker to complete tasks that are otherwise time consuming. As a business owner, I am constantly racing against time and using some of the tools that are recommended can be used very effectively. The best part was the focus on real-world applications of AI, showing how it can be used specifically in my industry. Ruqaiya's passion and enthusiasm were contagious during the workshop and she busted a lot of my myths. The content was well-structured and simplified, making it perfect for a beginner like me. I have invited co-workers to attend the workshop with me and will continue to do so! Thanks so much ammi.ai! You have opened my eyes to a whole new world.

Excellent and simplistic explanation of a relatively complex topic for someone like me who is fairly technologically illiterate. LOVE how you talk about different tools (whether for writing, images, videos, etc) that are available, no matter what the field of your work. Chuckled surprisingly when I learned how AI tools can be used to help everyday mundane tasks like shopping lists. Would love to continue this path of learning about AI, especially because I feel threatened by how it is going to replace me at work!

I appreciate the tried and trusted recommendations for AI apps or services that are particularly useful for women and mothers. Even if I'm not ready to use all of them yet I like that I know what tool to use when the time comes. Also appreciate getting bite sized information on the development of AI so that we can stay educated.

I have have some basic understanding of AI and AI tools, but the Amplify Your Amazing with AI workshop was still very valuable for me! It is rare to have something so tailored to the needs of moms, so was very validating to have the unique challenges and mental load of moms addressed and how AI can help. Very intimidating concepts are broken down in easy to understand ways, and it feels amazing to know about all of the cutting edge technologies as well as tips for maintaining privacy and safety when using them.

I like the sense of humor embedded in the nuggets of knowledge. Makes learning AI that much more fun. Also proves, perhaps, that this newsletter was not written by GenAI? :)
