Aged Intelligence Society hosts invite-only AI dinner events to teach midlife women practical uses of LLMs
Cofounders Shoshana Berger and Nina Willdorf run the Aged Intelligence Society, an invite-only events startup that hosts small dinner salons where midlife women bring personal 'quandaries' and learn to use frontier AI tools (including Claude) to solve practical problems. The events have been oversubscribed, attracted press coverage (including the New York Times), and their Substack has grown to over 1,000 subscribers, with attendees now organizing local meetups.
