Using AI for positive impact

How can AI be used for real-world crisis response? Join host Nate Brown (Userlytics) as he dives into an inspiring conversation with Cynthia Leimbach and Dr. Jess Mendoza, the minds behind LAHelpNow—a groundbreaking initiative born from the devastating January 2025 LA fires.

What started as an AI-powered hackathon exploring Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Conversation Design quickly evolved into something much bigger: an official NGO dedicated to connecting communities in crisis with real-time, verified resources.

Whether facing wildfires, floods, earthquakes, or other disasters, LAHelpNow is working to ensure AI-driven crisis response makes a real difference.
