Where AI Meets Real Life

AI is moving faster than any invention in your lifetime. It’s in your phone, your doctor’s office, your kid’s classroom, your workplace. It doesn’t announce itself. It just shows up.

And most of the coverage about it is written for people who already speak the language.

Almost Intelligent is for everyone else.

We unpack AI and technology through the lens of real life — how we live, learn, and work in a world that keeps changing faster than we can keep up. No hype. No doom. No jargon you need to Google. Just clarity, a little wit, and the occasional thing worth trying.

Stay curious. Laugh at the chaos. Let tech help the life you actually want to live.

We make you almost intelligent. The fun kind.

Connie Connors has spent her career at the intersection of technology and real life — usually arriving a few years before everyone else.

She taught computer literacy before most people owned a computer. She helped launch Amazon and Priceline when “online shopping” still needed explaining. She built a PR firm, founded HitTail, and currently teaches at Fordham University — where she’s discovered that fear of AI has absolutely no age limit.

She also volunteers at her church thrift shop, is building an AI-powered marketplace called ThriftShopper, and recently did motion capture work for Grand Theft Auto 6. Yes, really.

People have been telling her to write a book for years. Almost Intelligent is what happens while she’s thinking about it.

Her mission — in this, and in everything — is to uplift. To help people see what’s possible before it feels impossible. To be the person in the room who makes the complicated feel manageable, and the manageable feel kind of fun.

She’s seen a lot of corners. She’s pretty good at the ones coming up next.
