Who's teaching this AI goodness?

Meet Nicolle Merrill, your AI-literacy guide. A four-time career changer, Nicolle has worn many hats: study abroad advisor, luxury travel writer, global career coach, author, public speaker/trainer, and now Generative AI Product Designer.

When Nicolle started learning about AI in 2018, she had no technical background. She sat through hours of technical YouTube videos trying to make sense of engineering concepts. Eventually, she landed a role as a chatbot designer, combining her love of language with her curiosity about AI. As she continued building AI products, she noticed the lack of training to teach non-technical teams about AI. 

Frustrated by boring, overly technical AI courses, Nicolle created Boring AI (plot twist: it's not boring) to make AI literacy accessible for non-techies like her past self.

Why are there so many donuts? 

AI branding and visuals are dominated by the same colors and themes: dark blue and neon blue colors, robots and code for visuals. That's boring. So Nicolle took a different approach for her AI branding: bright colors and donuts, which is the opposite of how AI is portrayed normally. All of Nicolle's courses include pictures of donuts and references to donuts when demo'ing concepts. A side effect of taking Nicolle's courses is that many students are hungry for donuts afterwards.
