Hey I'm Steph. I started this community because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful AI can be when it’s used responsibly, creatively, and with purpose. By day, I work with professionals around the world to end child abuse — building tools, trainings, and creative campaigns at Zero Abuse Project. I’ve also spent years helping nonprofits and causes tell their stories with limited resources. Here’s the challenge I kept running into: 👉 The stories that matter most are often the hardest (and most expensive) to tell well. 👉 Nonprofits and changemakers rarely have big budgets, big teams, or big tech. 👉 But with AI, I’ve been able to rewrite that equation. I’ve used AI to: - Turn a dry report into a compelling donor story in minutes - Design campaigns faster and more creatively — on a shoestring budget - Build AI-powered tools (with vibe coding) that help child protection professionals work smarter, not harder That’s what this space is about. 🌍 What You’ll Find Here - Practical AI hacks you can use right away (no jargon, no overwhelm) - Creative workflows for storytelling, design, and campaigns - Behind-the-scenes looks at how I’m building AI tools for real-world projects - A community of people who believe AI should be a force for good, not just profit 🚀 Your Turn Drop a quick intro in the comments: - Who you are - What kind of work you’re doing (or want to do) - One way you wish AI could make your life easier right now Let’s kick this off by learning from each other. I’m excited to build this with you.

AI Tools

💡 My Top 3 Favorite AI Tools Right Now

I’ve been diving deep into AI lately (actually it’s been like the past 10 months) — not just testing shiny new apps, but actually using them to save time, build things, and spark creativity. Here are the three I keep coming back to: 1️⃣ ChatGPT → my daily brainstorming partner, research assistant, and the editor that makes my emails sound 10x nicer. It’s the tool I open first whenever I’m stuck or want to polish my words. Say what you want about, I personally think it’s the easiest and most user friendly LLM.https://chatgpt.com/ 2️⃣ Base44 → this has been huge for me. I’m using it to build and prototype apps for training and storytelling projects. It makes it possible to move fast and test ideas without needing a full dev team. https://base44.com For example: my team is getting ready to build out and offer this intense 4.5 day in-person course for ICAC investigators and prosecutors. It’s insanely complex and the logistics are nuts. So, to make it easier on everyone, I’ve built a web app in Base44 that serves as a virtual training hub for both our admin and trainers as well as the course participants. It’s got everything from the agenda, to travel arrangements, to communication boards, to team portals. I keep adding more stuff because it’s just so easy to do in Base44. The best part is how helpful it will be when it comes time to put this training on and we have every logistic in one place. 3️⃣ Hatch → a visual platform for building AI-powered products. It makes it easier to connect models, design workflows, and go from idea to working tool quickly — without needing deep technical skills. And I’m telling you there’s no limit and no cost. Idk why, but it’s crazy how much I’ve used it and not once been promoted to pay or upgrade. https://hatchcanvas.com/ 👉 What about you — what’s one AI tool you’ve tried that actually stuck for you? Or one you’re curious to try?
