Wanjiku Kamau: The Human Guide to AI
Writer, speaker, and consultant helping people make sense of AI, change, and work—with clarity and humanity.
Author of Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm: How I Finally Made Friends with AI, available everywhere books are sold.
Areas of Focus
My work explores six interconnected themes at the heart of how we work, connect, and make sense of change.
Navigating transitions and change
The messy, human process of moving through uncertainty and figuring things out as we go.
Work, culture, and how we show up
How work really works. The relationships, expectations, and unspoken rules that shape our days more than we realize.
Human connection and belonging
How we find one another, build trust, and create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and included.
Storytelling as sense-making
Using story to understand ourselves, our experiences, and the patterns that start to appear when we step back and listen.
Curiosity and continuous learning
The practice of asking better questions, staying open, and letting what we learn change how we think and move forward.
Identity and self-understanding
Who we are, who we're becoming, and how we make sense of the space in between.
How I Work
Writing
My book Out of the Loop, Into the Algorithm explores what it means to make peace with AI as a human being—not a technologist, not an early adopter, just someone figuring it out. I write about personal stories within broader cultural shifts, helping readers understand their own experiences through the lens of larger patterns.
Speaking & Conversation
Through speaking engagements and audio projects, I create space for conversations that go beneath the surface—especially around AI, work, and the questions we don't always ask out loud.
AI Consulting
I help individuals and organizations navigate AI with clarity and humanity. Not the hype, not the fear—just practical guidance grounded in real human experience. Whether you're trying to understand how AI fits into your work or helping your team adapt, I can help.
Across all these forms, the goal is consistent: to help people see themselves and their situations more clearly, so they can decide what comes next with greater confidence and meaning.
