Laetitia Andrac - AI that really changes lives

Most AI startups begin with a technical problem. This one started with a deeply personal one.In this episode of Femmebot, we sit down with Laetitia Andrac — founder of Understanding Zoe — an AI-powered platform helping families, teachers and therapists better support neurodivergent children.After leading data and AI initiatives at Telstra, Laetitia shifted her focus to something much closer to home: her daughter Zoe. What began as a way to better support her own child has evolved into a platform transforming how care, communication and advocacy happen across entire support networks. We explore:Why most AI tools fail when they ignore the human behind the dataThe hidden admin and emotional load of raising neurodivergent childrenHow AI can move from generic to truly personalised careThe bias founders face when raising capital — and how to reframe the narrativeWhy the future of AI isn’t just powerful — it’s deeply humanThis is a conversation about technology, yes — but more importantly, it’s about understanding people.
