I’m excited to partner with @swyx to host a workshop at the @aiDotEngineer World’s Fair with Carole Robin (Distinguished @StanfordGSB Teacher of “Touchy Feely” & Co-Founder of @LITfellows) on developing effective relationships.

Building human relationships (including romantic ones) is a KPI of @aiDotEngineer. While we are celebrating so much AI progress, we also want to foster more human connection. This is an urgent time to ensure we have both the technical skills to develop AI safely and the interpersonal skills to build effective human relationships.

We will do a live demo of connection tools from the Touchy Feely course and @LITfellows programs. You'll then practice the skills yourself. You'll leave with tools to be more effective in your professional and personal relationships.

Public conference passes are sold out, but @swyx is offering a limited number of complimentary Expo passes for this workshop. Request a pass by Thursday, June 25 to attend the workshop: bit.ly/connect-ai-2026
