## Executive Summary
WIRED spoke with the founders of the Aged Intelligence Society, a fast-growing events startup that brings women together to "solve midlife problems using frontier tools."



## Full Coverage
Berger and Willdorf having a refreshingly practical take on AI. "This is the most formative technology of our generation, and it's here," Willdorf says. "If you choose to sit it out, you are doing yourself a disservice."

That thesis resonates. Their events have been oversubscribed since day one. The second dinner party they hosted was covered by The New York Times . Hundreds of women reached out asking to attend future events. Their Substack, where they share tools and tips, quickly got over 1,000 subscribers, including a New Yorker writer and a small-town mayor. Women outside the Bay Area are now hosting their own Aged Intelligence meetups

They also practice what they preach, especially as they juggle kids entering college, their own aging parents, and their increasingly in-demand business. "The midlife cognitive and emotional labor is so heavy and so intense that we need an assistant," Berger says. "Actually, we need the National Guard, but AI will help in the interim."
