AI Tools That May Help Us Feel Better 🧘‍♀ – Saturday @ 2:30 PM

Last week we dove into side hustles powered by no-code + AI. On Saturday, May 24th we’re turning inward:
How can AI help us sleep deeper, focus longer, and feel more in control of our lives?
This meetup explores how AI is transforming personal wellness—from mindfulness apps to emotion-aware chatbots and personalized health nudges. Whether you’re a dev, a psych nerd, or just trying to build healthier habits, this session is for you. 🌿
