        I like how Noelle’s sessions make me feel like I can do anything. I started with no coding or tech experience—this was my first time building anything like a chatbot! I could do it confidently because I understood what I was doing and the big WHY. I would 100% recommend this to a friend!

        Hi. I'll keep it short and sweet. This year, 2024. Everybody's talking about AI, safety, and responsible AI, but everybody's really just talking about it, using it as a keyword. Nobody's going into depth. However, Noelle was a breath of fresh air and actually went into policies that she implemented at the biggest companies in the world.
