AI for the Mental Load: A Guide for Modern Parents brought a thoughtful, real-world conversation with Christy Shannon, co-founder of Ollie, on what it actually looks like to use AI to support the invisible work of parenting. From personal stories to practical applications, this session offered a grounded look at how AI can help lighten the mental load many parents carry every day.
