Abi Awomosu will change how you hear your market.

For 20 years, I led insights, cultural intelligence, and data strategy at Meta, Uber, Apple, and award-winning creative agencies serving Fortune 100 clients.

Traditional research captures what people say. It misses what they feel, avoid, or quietly adapt around.

When generative AI emerged, I didn’t see a productivity tool. I saw a listening partner—one that could help surface collective patterns humans struggle to see at scale.

I founded my insights studio to develop the practice I always wished existed: deep human-centered research using real conversations already happening online, in person, and hidden in the internal data you don't use.

In a world of builders, I teach the craft of listening.

My North Star:
Stop trying to use AI better. Become the kind of human AI reveals better signals to.

Alumni reviews

Abi’s methodology is out of this world, and she generously shares it with you. You leave with more homework to do than work done, she does warn you! It’s short and no wonder people keep enrolling repeatedly to take the course again and again. I think the live sessions with Abi are extremely valuable, and possibly different each time. It’s short and quick, but real value for money. I look forward to enrolling again!

This course provides a great way to think about AI from alternative angles and play with how you can use it differently in your own work.

Abi's methods, mindset and vision form the compass I needed to orient me toward the best uses of LLM for my company. If you're willing to take time with her complex body of work, you will be well rewarded.

Abi is incredibly generous with her knowledge. She shares outstanding resources, tools and real-world examples throughout the course and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand and put into practice. The course completely changed how I think about AI and its potential as a listening tool. This isn't a one-and-done course. There's a lot to absorb, and you'll get the most out of it by taking the time to practice, experiment and revisit the material. I know it will become an invaluable addition to my qualitative research practice. Definitely recommend it!

The whole world is telling us to hand our thinking over to a handful of tech giants. Abi offers something genuinely different: an insider's understanding of the AI industry, and a practical set of tools that put you – the human – firmly in the driving seat of this technology, not underneath it. It's a strategy of hope and empowerment. Through all the tech doom and gloom, Abi brings light.
