Here’s the updated tool based on your feedback.
Anne opened the founder segment by introducing the women stepping into new leadership roles inside She Leads AI. Beth Lyons and Jen Schwartz joined as co-hosts of Social Saturday. Pamela Oberg joined the team as Executive Director of Member Advancement and brought the Build, Launch, Scale workshop series with her.
On June 13 they ran the community through the She Leads AI Authority Builder gem — everyone opened it live, fed it their own bios and LinkedIn profiles, and read back what it gave them. What happened when the gem got it a little wrong turned out to be the point.

Pamela Oberg gave the community its first look at Build, Launch, Scale, a workshop series she envisioned and tested. It moves founders from founder mindset into storytelling and offer design. A woman can take a single workshop, like the storytelling one, or join the full cohort for the community around it.
You don’t build a business on an idea, even a side gig. You have to think about what problem are you solving, because that’s where the power is going to be. Pamela Oberg
It launches early July. Watch The SLAI Effect and the community for the registration link.
The She Leads AI Authority Builder is a free Gemini Gem built by She Leads AI. You paste in your professional background or a LinkedIn link, and it reads the arc of your career and gives you back positioning language for the AI economy — a 13-point dossier of your hidden expertise, a full bio suite, and launch assets you can use the same day.
Beth Lyons handed the upgraded version to the community that morning, and everyone opened it live.
The exercise was simple. Each woman opened the gem and fed it her bio or her LinkedIn. Then she read back to the group what it gave her, where it was right and where it missed. Doing it together, in front of each other, is what made the patterns obvious.
The first reads were often a little off. E. gave it her LinkedIn and got back a version of herself she did not expect, cast as someone who builds apps for other organizations. Rather than dismiss it, she decided the wrong read was worth following — the same way she pulls forward skills her own clients have not thought to claim.
That was the pattern of the morning. The gem was most useful when it was a little wrong, because a reflection you can correct beats a blank page. Beth and E. landed there independently, and it became the through line for the whole session.
Maybe this is one of the hidden techniques, that you just need to reflect people back to themselves. Beth Lyons
The Authority Builder lives on the She Leads AI site, and the version below is current as of June 12. It works in a few moves, and you leave with assets you can publish.
Your work history already holds AI expertise. Legacy Re-Indexing digs through your roles and projects to find the connections between your experience and AI leadership, then translates each one into language that positions you as an expert.
Your background gives you an edge in AI that nobody else can replicate. This is where it gets put into words.
The gem maps your skills and your interests against four directions — educator, consultant, entrepreneur, builder — and shows you which one fits first, or how to run more than one at once. You leave with a map you can act on.
The gem builds your dossier from your own experience, mapping your lived experience to the new AI economy. This serves as a source of truth for your personal branding, content, strategy, and authority positioning.
Once it exists, every post and pitch traces back to the same positioning, so your credibility compounds instead of scattering. It is the one document you write from for as long as you are building your authority.
Narratives written for every platform and situation. Each piece positions you as an AI authority without erasing your voice — your LinkedIn About section, ready-to-publish posts, speaking materials, and bios of any length.
Assets designed for action — signature talk titles that book speaking engagements and network announcement messages that introduce your expertise with clarity. These are made to use the day you get them.
Running the gem in front of each other surfaced usable signal fast. Here is what we noticed, captured for the women building it.
It cast a song leader as someone who helps teams find their harmony with AI tools, and reached for beautiful-princess-on-a-cloud energy. V. told it to drop the heyo. E. told it to throttle it back.
V. asked for one step at a time because she would not read a long block. “I am creative, not literary.” A pacing mode would help.
It often did not pull the profile. LinkedIn does not fully expose profiles, since Microsoft wants you on the platform. Pasting your bio is the reliable path for now.
An off first read is valuable, because the user corrects it. That correction is its own technique, and the gem could lean into it on purpose.
L. routed the gem’s output into content buckets and a 90-day plan. That points to a planning mode the gem could offer directly.
The community ran it live and told us exactly what was not working. Here is what we heard.
The Tone Is Too Fluffy
The gem reaches for motivational language that feels cheesy and disconnected from the user’s actual voice. HEYYO — we heard it, and it is already out. J. flagged a line casting her as someone who helps teams “find their harmony with AI tools.” E. said the gem was over the top and needed to throttle it back.
Responses Are Too Long
The gem defaults to large blocks of text rather than building a conversation. V. had to ask it to stop producing walls of text and work through the process one step at a time.
It Over-Interprets LinkedIn Profiles
The gem sometimes draws conclusions that the user does not recognize as her own. E. received an interpretation that did not feel like her. B. also noted that LinkedIn limits what third-party tools can access, which makes incomplete reads more likely.
Returning Users Do Not Get New Value
People who have used the gem before may receive the same general observations again. V. described the experience as “regurgitating the same kind of stuff.” The current process does not account for changes in someone’s work, direction, or goals.
The New Chat Option Is Hard to Find
Several participants did not know they needed to start a new chat when returning to the gem. The option sits inside the three-dot menu, and V. had to walk the group through it during the session.
The version below reflects everything the community surfaced on June 13 — tone tightened, walls of text gone, and the fluffy motivational language pulled. Try it now.
Try the New and Improved Authority BuilderLift any of these straight into the gem or into your own Gemini chat. Each one came out of something a woman tried live on June 13.
From Beth Lyons
At the end of this working session, act as an observer of how we worked together. Tell me what built trust between us, what challenged it, and the working preferences you noticed about how I like to work. Keep it specific enough that I can correct you where you are wrong.
From V. and the group’s feedback
Drop the over-enthusiasm and the flattery. Give me one step at a time, not a wall of text. I am creative, not literary, so keep each reply short and let me ask for the next step when I am ready.
From L.
Take the Authority Builder output below and sort it into content categories. Then build a 90-day content plan keyed to those categories, with one topic and one content type for each day. [Paste your Authority Builder output here.]
From Beth’s exchange with Claude
Explain your reasoning for the choice you just made — the file name or the permission you granted. I want to understand how you decided, not only what you decided.
If you want these to point to a shared Gemini prompt or saved gem conversation, drop the link and I will wire each card to it.
