A few days ago, I was talking with someone who works at a large corporation. He mentioned, almost in passing, that he uses AI to help with parts of his job — not to do the work for him, but...Read More
Imagine That.
With AI, we can reimagine what it means to teach and learn — then build tools, activities, and experiences that make learning clearer, more engaging, and more human.
Let's Get Started with Some Freebies!
(It’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” Kind of Thing.)
For Educators
Have a Course That’s Gone Stale?
With The Course Refresher tool, just paste in your syllabus, answer a few quick questions, and it hands you back a customized blueprint for refreshing a course that is smelling a bit like mothballs.

Field Notes
In a face-to-face classroom, I can do that pushing. (Students in the class can, too.) I can ask, “But how do you know that?” I can say, “Is that really a factual claim, or is it opinion?” I can play...Read More
“It’s exciting to think about all of these amazing things we can do with AI as educators, but what happens if the lights go out on it?” We’re still in the very early days of our AI journey. But —...Read More
I spent much of past academic year building the kind of GPTs I thought students would find most useful. What did they look like? They were big, comprehensive course coaches. I designed one “coaching” GPT per class. The idea was...Read More
AI is scaring the absolute CRAP out of a LOT of people. Maybe you’re one of them. If so, stick around. You might feel a teensy bit better once you finish reading this. I’ll keep it short. Promise. Oh, the...Read More
“Can AI do this?” For a while, this has been the question I kept asking myself: Can it summarize this reading? Can it generate examples? Can it help students get unstuck faster? It’s a reasonable question. It’s also the wrong...Read More
A dear friend once told me a story about taking her young son to a cafeteria for dinner. He stood in line with his tray, completely overwhelmed by the number of choices in front of him. There were entrees. Sides....Read More
I help educators and learning leaders build better learning tools and experiences with AI.
Hi there! I’m Michele Lashley — a college professor, attorney, and entrepreneur who helps people make sense of complex ideas and build useful things with AI.
I focus on how AI can be used to design better learning experiences, not just produce faster content. That means helping educators, teams, and learning-focused leaders create tools, activities, feedback loops, and learning systems that make ideas clearer, practice more meaningful, and human judgment more visible.
My work is grounded in classroom and boardroom experience, legal training, careful experimentation, and a belief that clarity matters more than certainty. Because it does.
