Every week we sit down with the people doing the human work of healthcare — therapists, dentists, physicians, educators — and talk about what AI should and shouldn't touch. Everything here comes from those conversations.
Long-form portraits of the people behind the practices: where they started, what broke, what they leapt toward, and the tension they're still working out. Written from our conversations, with care.
