SPEAKING
Your audience deserves more than a
slide deck about AI.
Claire Bouvier delivers keynotes and workshops that leave people with real tools, not just inspiration. A licensed teacher who builds AI for a living — that combination is rare.
WHY IT WORKS
Most AI talks leave people inspired and stuck.
Not mine. I teach the way I learned — by doing. Every talk is grounded in tools I use daily, clients I've worked with, and mistakes I've already made for you.
Professional educator
Licensed Ontario teacher with 10+ years designing learning experiences. I know the difference between information transfer and actual skill-building. Your audience leaves able to act.
Hands-on builder
I build real AI systems every day through Sophyx, my AI agent platform. I've tested 500+ tools. Case studies come from actual client work — not hypotheticals lifted from tech blogs.
Audience-first content
Every engagement is tailored to your industry and audience. HR teams get HR examples. School boards get classroom context. No generic AI hype dressed up in your branding.
SIGNATURE TALKS
Four talks. One through line: AI that actually works for people.
Each talk is available as a keynote or workshop. All can be adapted for your specific industry and audience.
Signature Keynote
"AI is Already Talking About Your Industry. Are You Part of the Story?"
Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT and Perplexity to recommend a business, expert, or service. Most organizations don't show up — not because they're not good at what they do, but because AI doesn't know they exist. This talk breaks down how AI decides who to mention, what it gets right and wrong, and what your audience can do this week to change their visibility.

"Practical AI for Your Team"
A hands-on working session where participants leave with at least 3 AI workflows they can use in their actual jobs the next morning. No theory, no vendor pitches. We look at your real work — emails, documents, research, client communication — and build AI into it together. Industry-specific examples included.
Hands-on Industry-specific Team training L&DEducation Keynote
"AI in Education: Practical, Responsible, Right Now"
Built for teachers and administrators who are being asked to figure out AI policy without a roadmap. I'm a licensed Ontario teacher who also builds AI tools — so I understand both sides of the table. This talk covers what AI can and can't do in the classroom, how to build responsible AI guidelines, and practical tools educators can actually use today.
OCT-credentialed School boards Policy + practice PD daysKeynote
"The Human Edge: Why the People Who Thrive With AI Think Differently"
AI adoption fails when it's treated as a technology problem. The organizations that actually succeed treat it as a people problem first. This talk explores the psychology of AI adoption — why some teams build momentum and others stall — and gives leaders a practical framework for becoming the kind of organization where AI actually works.
