Lisa’s AI Cafe
The sweet spot where coffee meets inspiration
Recently featured at UNESCO Creative Cities Network Annual Conference 2025
Representing Whanganui, demonstrating how small creative cities can lead in human-centered AI innovation.
How do you stand out in a world of AI sameness? Let’s explore that over coffee. Lisa helps individuals, organisations, communities, and cities learn and grow together—one conversation at a time.
From Whanganui to the World
No one left behind. That’s what happens when curiosity meets community over coffee.
Lisa’s AI Café began with a simple invitation: come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s explore what AI means for you and your community. Whether you’re an individual discovering new possibilities, an organization seeking fresh perspectives, or a city planning for the future—it all starts with genuine conversation and shared learning.
From a simple conversation in 2022, each conversation led to the next, until we were invited onto the world stage in Paris. What started as AI BizHub grew into WriteFund Collective, and from these experiences, Lisa discovered her true calling: teaching everyone how to use AI, regardless of age, experience, or background. Lisa’s AI Café was born from this passion—evolving from the initial idea of an online membership learning platform into a go anywhere global café experience.
Find your spark. Follow your curiosity. Build a life that lights you up. The café isn’t just a space—it’s where possibilities unfold through learning together.
