How do you make AI less like a background tool and more like a collaborator with personality?  Creative Director and AI Technologist, Rebecca Rowntree introduces her latest creation, Dolly, a personal AI "hype woman" designed to make you shine by analysing your LinkedIn posts, track achievements, spot patterns you might miss, and translate them into confident, accurate storytelling about your work.  Dolly combines data, empathy, and personality to help individuals realise and communicate their impact more clearly.  Rebecca will explain why she built Dolly, how she works in practice, and what character-driven AI like this could mean in the future of the creative industries.
