She shares insights into her project, “Tulsi,” an AI designed to go beyond simple responses, aiming to truly understand and emotionally resonate with users. Her journey through psychology, integrative hypnotherapy, and neuroscience shapes her work in creating an empathetic AI that offers real-time support and coaching, especially for mental health and workplace productivity.
