"Finally a team that understands nonprofits"

Partnering with PLAI to shape our AI strategy was a great choice from Day 1. It was a relief that they understood the nonprofit sector and took far longer than most to really understand our needs. The strategy sessions were really hands-on, which got our whole team involved and I loved their use of the Design Thinking process and AI Canvas. Best choice we've made!

"Their unique approach made all the difference"

The AI learning workshops have given our leaders the practical skills and tools they need to navigate the future of work and also support our team better. Our execs came into this feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. They left feeling supported and optimistic. Their expertise made all the difference and helped us come together to have the tough conversations we had been avoiding.

"Practical, meaningful"

A clear, practical way to take my first steps into AI. PLAI made the technical feel simple, the examples crystal clear, and always grounded the learning in ethics and real examples from the nonprofit sector. I could actually see how the tools and ideas fit into my work and how they could empower my team in practical, meaningful ways. What stood out was how PLAI managed to balance fun hands-on activities with extremely serious conversations. I walked away not just informed, but excited, motivated, and genuinely ready to do something about AI.

"Exciting, energizing, engaging"

The only word I can use to describe the way Kaz taught us how to Master ChatGPT is magic. I have no idea how she does what she does, but it amazed my team and made us realize just how much you can achieve with the tool. So many trainings I've been to are... well boring. This was exciting, energizing and my entire team were actually engaged for once (which is in itself a miracle).
