Building with AI, for every kind of mind.
Hi, I'm Mahdi, co-founder of Humble AI. I champion different kinds of minds. The most talented people I work with often see the world differently, and many of them are neurodivergent.
This is where I share the tools, tips and resources that have helped us as we build with AI. Take what's useful.
Three places to start.

Meet HumbleThe second brain we're building for different kinds of minds. It keeps your AI chats, tasks, notes and people in one place.
-
Resources
Guides, research and slide decks on building with AI. No coding needed.
Tools built for different minds work better for everyone.
Inclusivity is the thing I care about most. When a tool works for people who think differently, it ends up working better for everyone.
That's why we're building Humble AI: a second brain that keeps your AI chats, tasks, notes and people in one place, so you don't have to hold it all in your head.

About me.
I'm Mahdi Shariff, co-founder of Humble AI in London. Humble isn't a corporate initiative or a diversity checkbox. It's built by a neurodiverse, inclusive team who want AI to work for everyone, not just the technical elite.
With the Humble team, I've trained teams at Accenture, lectured at universities across the UK and Europe, and built tools that neurodivergent professionals use every day.
