Human-First AI

Human-First AI

Ever feel like you’re: Juggling three calendars at once—work deadlines, soccer practice, the plumber’s visit—while wondering which plate will drop first? Trying to remember Grandma’s meds (and refill dates, and doctor’s appointments) because missing one pill simply isn’t an option? Paralyzed by “simple” household choices—like choosing a paint color or tonight’s dinner—because your mental bandwidth is already maxed out? You’re not scattered. You’re saturated. Human-First AI is your practical antidote. Hosted every two weeks by problem-solver Claire Bouvier, each episode turns one of these real-life pressure points into a mini master-class on reclaiming brainspace with ethical, people-first tech. Expect NPR-style storytelling with Pat-Flynn-level action steps: Relatable stories that call out the real villain—decision fatigue, calendar chaos, medication overload. Five-minute AI hacks (from ChatGPT image tricks to smart pill-reminder apps) that hand control back to you. Brain-science nuggets that validate your stress instead of shaming it. Instant apply-it steps so you finish each episode calmer, clearer, and confident enough to say “done” instead of “later.” Whether you’re a busy parent, sandwich-generation caregiver, tech-curious boomer, or simply a high-capacity human who wants life to feel lighter, this show is your permission slip to let AI do the grunt work while you stay in charge. Hit follow, press play, and breathe easier—because tech should lighten your load, not add to it.
