Who's behind the Grai?

Kate Marshall

I’m Kate Marshall - a lifelong learner with a deep passion for technology, productivity, and helping others navigate the rapidly evolving world of AI. I've spent my career supporting technical cybersecurity training and project management.


Over the past few years, I’ve explored hundreds of AI tools, platforms, and training programs. Some were great. Many were... not. My goal is to curate only the most practical, effective resources and strategies to support professionals and teams who want to implement AI.


At The Grai, I focus on supporting AI adoption in a safe learning environment. Whether you’re leading a company or trying to find time to learn, I’m here to help you build the confidence, knowledge, and habits to thrive in the age of AI.

What's with the name The Grai?

Pronounced The Gray. Depending on who you talk to, AI  can elicit either excitement or a deep fear of whats to come - and often  a combination of the two.  Just like life, it’s not black and white - but variations of gray. 


 So that’s the idea behind The Grai – and  spelled with an AI twist. Fun, right?
