Women Applying AI – Community Guidelines

We’re so glad you’re here. Together, we’re building a global community where women learn, connect, and lead with AI. These guidelines are here to help us create a space that feels safe, supportive, and inspiring for everyone.

👉 Who we are for: Women Applying AI is a safe space for all women and marginalized genders. We welcome anyone over the age of 18, who identifies with she/her or they/them pronouns, trans women, nonbinary people, and anyone exploring their gender identity.

1. Our Community Ethos

Give-Get: Everyone contributes something—whether it’s a question, a resource, or a story of how you’re applying AI.

Learn by Doing: We focus on applied learning. Share what you try, even if it’s messy or unfinished.

Belonging First: We welcome all industries, roles, and skill levels. Everyone’s voice matters.

2. How We Show Up

✨ Empowering – Celebrate each other’s wins, encourage growth
🌍 Inclusive – Respect diverse backgrounds, time zones, and perspectives
🔧 Practical – Share real-world applications, tools, and lessons learned
🔥 Bold – Don’t be afraid to challenge assumptions or bring fresh ideas
🤝 Supportive – Be generous with feedback, kindness, and patience

3. Participation Guidelines

Introduce Yourself: Start in #introductions with your role, what excites you about AI, and one fun fact.

Engage Actively: Post questions, join events, and jump into threads. Lurking is fine, but we grow stronger when you contribute.

Respect Boundaries: Keep any pitching or self-promotion to the dedicated channels. If you’d like to explore partnerships, use our dedicated process.

Stay Constructive: Disagree with ideas, not people. Keep debate respectful and evidence-based.

Protect Privacy: What’s shared in this community stays here unless you have permission to share it outside.

4. What You Can Expect

A safe environment to experiment and learn.

Practical programming—workshops, clinics, peer-led sessions.

Opportunities to connect with peers, mentors, and leaders.

Regular spotlights and recognition for member contributions.

5. Need Help?

Moderators are here to help. DM a moderator if you have concerns.

If you’re unsure whether something fits, ask—we’d rather guide than gatekeep.

💜 Together, we’re shaping a future where women thrive and lead with AI.
