Aged Intelligence Society Draws 1,000 Subscribers for AI Dinners Helping Women 40-Plus Tackle Midlife Problems

Summary
Hundreds of women have sought spots at Aged Intelligence Society’s invite-only dinners, and its Substack has topped 1,000 subscribers as demand spreads beyond the Bay Area.
The startup, founded by former editors Shoshana Berger and Nina Willdorf, targets women over 40 who they say risk falling behind at work if they sit out AI adoption.
At dinners of eight to 12, attendees bring laptops and a “midlife quandary,” then test tools with hands-on coaching focused on practical tasks rather than AI debate.
Examples include using AI to parse a 300-page long-term-care insurance packet and draft an appeal letter, or to strengthen consulting proposals and raise rates.
The founders frame AI as a time-saving tool for women juggling careers, children and aging parents, arguing the strongest product-market fit is with experienced midlife users.
