What's different

This is not another AI course.

There's plenty of free AI training out there already. What's missing isn't more tutorials — it's community. A real place to talk with other wāhine about how you're actually using AI day to day, swap what's working, and ask the questions you wouldn't ask a stranger on YouTube.

Users, not technicians

We're wāhine figuring AI out in our own businesses too — not developers. Real scenarios, no tech-bro jargon.

No judgment, ever

Use AI daily and never told anyone? Been called a "cheat code" for it? This is a space built for honesty, not defensiveness.

Sovereignty-aware

Data, privacy, and Māori Data Sovereignty aren't an afterthought here.

What's inside

Built for what wāhine are actually looking for.

Skills

Practical, hands-on AI

Real build-alongs for daily life and mahi — not theory, not a lecture.

Judgment

The calls AI can't make for you

Real kōrero with founders and peers on making judgement calls with AI.

Kaupapa

Values-led growth

Using AI safely to advance kaupapa without compromising values.

Community

Real kōrero, not a script

A place to connect with other wāhine Māori and hear how they're actually using AI, day to day.

Built for wāhine who are done waiting for someone else to make AI make sense for them.

Created by two wāhine using AI daily

Not theorists. Operators.

We started Tuhi Stationery 8 years ago together — we know what it takes to build a Māori ecommerce business. Fast forward to today, we're both actively using AI in our businesses and community, but there's no space for actual users — not techies — to come together and share learnings. So, we built it.
