In this episode, Tim welcomes Sumathi Menon, founder of Mave Social, to explore how everyday efficiencies and inclusive design are reshaping the AI experience. With a focus on practical impact, Sumathi shares how tools like AI generated presentations are streamlining once tedious workflows while emphasising the importance of human oversight, expertise and intentional design.

They discuss the shift from blank page paralysis to AI assisted creativity, the risk of quality decay in generative content, and the need for users to remain discerning stewards of output. Sumathi also introduces the mission of Mave Social, democratising AI learning and access for women and non binary professionals, and how the Women Defining AI community is equipping its members with microlearning, peer support and real world experimentation.

This inspiring episode shines a light on the potential of AI to empower, not replace, when it is built and used with inclusion, clarity and care.
