✨ AAIP Stories | Darbie Valenti Huff What does AI look like for the person actually running the programs? Darbie Valenti-Huff puts it simply: "I was able to use AI to organize our year-long book studies, assigning facilitators to various months, quarters, and semesters and book titles based on a completed survey.
