Hi Reader,
Anthropic released a new model, Claude Fable, and within days Beth Lyons and Anne Murphy had called a pop-up Social Saturday to talk about how people are using it. It was a holiday weekend, and people came anyway. β And then a week later, the two hosted a Fable Debrief, where we shared our Fable fever dreams and questions about what it means to have such powerful technology in our hands.
β I don't have a Fable opinion yet. My week went to speaker dossiers and a Notion rebuild β the kind of jobs where a model proves itself by being uneventful. It was.
(My one finding so far: I pointed it at my own skill library and it caught two of my agents running as the same agent under different names. Thirty years in software testing and I still hired duplicates.) β The women who gather on Saturdays learn fast from one another - join us this weekend, and bring a friend!
β Warmly, Kate She Leads AI β βTiptoeing into your inbox all summer πΎ with The SLAI Effect β talk to you in the next one.
P.S. If the duplicate-agent story made you want to look harder at your own skill library, start with The Claude Skill Creator β the skill that builds and audits every other skill at She Leads AI. The full SKILL.md is on the page, ready to copy and adapt.

ποΈ Social Saturday
BRING A FRIEND TO SOCIAL SATURDAYβ with Beth Lyons and Jen Schwartz β There arenβt enough hours in the day, week, or month to learn all the AI things alone. And you donβt have to.β β Community and friendship create a rapid transfer of knowledge among womenβjust like the olden days, before the internet. Heck, before fire. We have always learned faster by gathering, comparing notes, sharing what we know, and helping one another see what we cannot see alone. β This Social Saturday is an open mic + live think tank for the projects youβre building. β
- Share what youβre building or where you feel stuck
- Get a couch-friend consult with fresh questions, ideas, and perspective
- Listen, take notes, and borrow what applies
- Then help another woman move her work forward
β Bring a friend from the internet or IRL. β Come with a project, a problem, a half-formed idea, or simply a willingness to think alongside other women.
Every Saturday Β· 10 AMβNoon PT Β· Online Β· Freeβ β βGather With Us On Saturdays β β βSocial Saturday is made possible by the She Leads AI Society, our membership program for human-centered AI practitioners.

π’ She Leads AI Society Members Making an Impact β
People have called Ana-Marie Jones "Ms. DuctTape" for 30 years, a nickname earned by her self-described superpower of MacGyvering anything into a solution. She took the helm of CARD, the Oakland nonprofit born from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, in 2000 β arriving to find it weeks from closing β and spent the next decade and a half building it into a national model for a different kind of emergency preparedness, one that rejects fear- and threat-based messaging and treats readiness as community empowerment rather than disaster planning. The approach traveled β the Japanese government brought her to Tokyo and Kobe to share it with emergency leaders there. She teaches readiness through Couch Potato Preparedness, built on the TV shows people already love, and has advised the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's National Health Security Preparedness Index. Now she's looking to help transform vulnerable communities through dynamic use of AI.
Staci Clarke got her first computer at 13 and taught herself to build them from the parts up. Four decades later she's still doing what she started then β showing people how technology serves them. As founder of Systems of Successβ’, she has spent more than 30 years closing the gap most business coaching leaves open: everyone tells owners what to do, almost no one shows them how. Her Systems of Success Academy runs on live learning labs where the how is the whole point. When the mic opened at a spring Social Saturday, she offered the community her multi-AI orchestration workflow β assign one tool as the context authority and route your other tools to ask it, not you. She's also a founding volunteer of Senior Safety Watch, working to make sure seniors and caregivers aren't left behind in an AI-driven world. "Seasoned and marinated," she says of herself, "but not done yet."
Kelly Boseti Primeau spent nearly three decades building CEA Marketing into an established Tampa Bay agency with a specialty most marketers never touch β residential homebuilders and developers. When AI began rewriting how buyers find brands, she didn't defend the old playbook. She rebuilt CEA as an AI-first agency, retooling client strategy around how tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews decide which businesses to trust. Then she started teaching. Her book Future-Proof Residential Marketing helps builder teams modernize without losing their message, and her workshops at Second Sol Studios, the creative studio she founded in Clearwater, have walked women business owners through the AI tools changing how small companies compete. Nearly thirty years in, Kelly is still doing what built her career β spotting the shift early and teaching everyone around her how to use it.

π Worth a Share
When the Destination Keeps Moving
Change consultant Kakie Fitzsimmons asks what happens when AI adoption lands on a workforce that has already weathered years of layoffs and reorganizations. Much of what leaders read as resistance is exhaustion, she argues, and the dashboards tracking output miss the trust and institutional knowledge that decide whether a change holds. Her conclusion is worth sitting with β when the destination keeps moving, adaptation stops being an employee responsibility and becomes a leadership one. β
