AI adoption for everyone else. AI feels overwhelming. We make it simple, practical, safe and fun. *

Helping women and other new to AI professionals gain confidence and agency in an AI-enabled future. Through workshops, advisory, and policy advocacy, we're building AI on-ramps that actually work.

What we offer

Advisory

Tailored guidance for individuals and organizations on AI readiness, adoption strategy, and responsible use.

Assessments

Readiness assessments that surface risks, gaps, and opportunities for AI adoption with guardrails and policy support.

Workshops

Hands-on, high-energy sessions that build real confidence with AI. Measured impact across four countries.

A different kind 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 confidence and agency - not just skills.

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!

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.”
