First Prompt * An AI Adoption Lab for the Rest of Us *
AI is reshaping work. We make sure women shape it back. Through community-based learning, field research, and advocacy, First Prompt keeps the AI transition from becoming a two-tiered economy.
The Two-Tiered AI Economy
What we do
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where participants use AI on real tasks and leave with concrete outputs and measurable increases in confidence.
Diagnostics
Surveys reveal how people are actually using AI, what they trust, and where confusion or risk is emerging.
Advocacy
Elevating the user experience into policy and industry converstations to prevent a two-tiered AI economy.
Advisory
Strategic guidance to help leaders design responsible, inclusive AI rollout grounded in real-world data.
A different type of AI on-ramp.
Current methods for AI onboarding aren't working for most people. First Prompt takes a different approach: community-based learning, peer support, hands-on experimentation, and a commitment to ensuring AI doesn't deepen existing inequalities. The result is measurable gains in capability, confidence and agency.
What our partners say
The First Prompt workshop was a fan favorite. Mara brought her passion and enthusiasm to the topic. I couldn't recommend Mara enough as a great teacher and as an expert on effectively using AI in the workplace!
Reed Shafer, Founder, Mountaintop International
Meeting Mara made me realize that there is a lot that we have not yet done to incorporate AI tools in our work. Since then, Mara has been invaluable in training our staff and, most importantly, working with us in developing AI policy. I would highly recommend anyone to tap into her experience and expertise.”

WomansplAIning AI
The AI conversation you're not getting anywhere else.
Research-backed. BS-free.
Logan Currie and I wanted to create this podcast because we felt that AI is happening to women rather than with them.
What does it mean to WomensplAIn? To us it means that we don't have all answers but we certainly have lots of questions and we are committed to learning together and enjoying ourselves along the way
