AI as a Mirror, Not a Replacement with Michelle Duval of Marlee

On this episode of Work Made Human, hosts Nichole and Jill sit down with Michelle Duval, founder and CEO of the AI coaching platform Marlee. Michelle shares how her near-fatal autoimmune brain disease became the catalyst for her life's mission: to democratize human potential and make deep self-understanding accessible to everyone. Michelle breaks down the core idea behind Marley—that AI, when built with intention, can act as a mirror that helps people understand themselves more deeply, not replace them. She explains why coaching should be the "operating system" of the modern workplace, unlocking the ideas, meaning, and creativity already inside every individual.
