    Gentle Gathering: Can AI bring people together? I Season 2 Episode 1 CRAFTED REALITY PODCAST

    In this episode of Crafted Reality, we turn our attention to a project that sits very close to home - Gentle Gathering. Part supper club, part social experiment and part invitation to connect, Gentle Gathering explores what happens when technology, conversation and shared space come together with care. Across a series of prototypes, we’ve been asking simple but layered questions:-  How might AI support, rather than replace, human connection?What does it mean to design a space where people feel able to speak, listen and linger?And how can an experience hold both structure and spontaneity?This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the thinking, testing and unexpected discoveries shaping Gentle Gathering so far.
