AI Enablement

AI Enablement is a program run by AI Lab, the team I lead at Automattic. We help people across the fully distributed company learn to build and work with AI.

In practice that means hands-on cohorts that take engineers and non-engineers from curious to capable, office hours and workshops, and the internal tooling and guidance that make AI a normal part of how teams work.

I came to it after years of building AI features myself, so the programs stay grounded in real engineering and experience. There’s more on the team’s internal tooling work and my earlier product work on my Applied AI page.

How the Cohort Program Works

Automattic brings people together in person for a two-week immersive program where AI fluency is the main focus, not a side quest. The core bet is to pull people out of their day-to-day entirely rather than expecting them to pick it up in the margins of a busy week.
