The AI Movement Podcast (Formerly How I AI)

After experiencing three pregnancy losses, Melissa Ablett-Jordaan couldn't stop thinking about the support she wished existed. She eventually left her COO role and founded Sibyl, an AI companion designed to support women through pregnancy loss. We talk about becoming a first-time founder and the responsibility of building something people may turn to during a deeply vulnerable moment.
Recorded live at eMerge Americas 2026, this conversation goes inside the decisions behind Sibyl. I ask Melissa what "clinically grounded" means beyond the marketing language, how she approaches sensitive data, and where she draws the line between AI support and professional care.
If you've spotted a problem through your own life experience but aren't sure you're qualified to build a business around it, her founder story is worth hearing!
In this conversation
How hundreds of conversations with women and care providers helped shape the product
Why Sibyl draws on a knowledge library developed with doctors and psychologists
How Melissa is designing boundaries that encourage users to take breaks from the app
The differences she's noticed between building a company in the Netherlands and the U.S.
About Melissa
Melissa Ablett-Jordaan is the founder of Sibyl and former Chief Operating Officer of Cambridge Innovation Center, where she helped grow the team from 50 to 300 people. An American based in the Netherlands, she had experience scaling companies but had never worked with AI before starting Sibyl.

How does an enterprise move from experimenting with AI to building it into the way the company actually operates? CMO Nicole Baer shares what that process looked like behind the scenes, from what she calls AI "recess" to a more focused enterprise AI adoption plan.
Recorded live at eMerge Americas 2026, Nicole Baer joins Brooke to share how Carta was turning individual AI experiments into systems its employees and customers could use.
Nicole also explains Carta's work on what it calls the first agentic ERP for private markets. ERP stands for enterprise resource planning, a connected system for managing a company's core operations. She shares how the acquisitions of Accelex for LP reporting and ListAlpha for CRM helped Carta bring more private-market workflows into one platform.
If your company is trying to turn individual AI experiments into systems an entire team can use, this conversation gives you a useful look at what that shift requires.
