About

Bookshelf AI Publishing Solutions LLC is a woman-owned, minority-owned AI education and workforce development company headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Founded by Michelle Harris, Certified AI Prompt Engineer, AI Confidence Advocate, and author of BLAQ: The Ultimate Guide to Dynamic Prompts, the company is dedicated to closing the AI confidence gap among minority women entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and professionals aged 45 and older.

Bookshelf AI Publishing Solutions LLC operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence education, workforce readiness, and digital inclusion. The company's core mission is to transform the way underserved communities experience, understand, and integrate AI into their professional and personal lives, not through technical training alone, but through a structured confidence-first framework that makes AI accessible, actionable, and economically empowering.

The Problem We Solve

America's 2025 AI Action Plan outlines over 90 federal policy actions designed to accelerate AI innovation, build physical infrastructure, and establish global AI dominance. Yet the plan creates no concrete pathways for underserved communities, particularly minority women, to build the confidence required to adopt and integrate AI into their work and businesses. Infrastructure without confidence is exclusion. That gap is the precise lane in which Bookshelf AI Publishing Solutions LLC operates.

Minority women, particularly those aged 45 and older, represent one of the most economically significant and yet most underserved segments of the AI adoption conversation. They are experienced professionals with established businesses, community influence, and economic potential. What they lack is not intelligence or ambition: it is a trusted, accessible, culturally informed pathway to AI confidence. That is exactly what this company provides.

Programs and Services

Bookshelf AI Publishing Solutions LLC delivers AI literacy and workforce development programming through multiple channels.

The Confident and Capable Masterclass Series is a sequential paid online learning program designed to equip women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders with practical, immediately applicable AI skills. Each session focuses on one tool, one outcome, and one transformation. Session 1, NotebookLM: From Bookmarks to Brilliance, launched May 14, 2026, teaches participants how to use Google's NotebookLM to organize years of saved digital content into a working knowledge system in a single 60-minute live session. Subsequent sessions cover tools including Perplexity and others, culminating in a premium session on building AI agents and integrated workflows.

AI Confidence: A Conversation is a free in-person community event series designed to introduce minority women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders to AI in plain language, in a welcoming and culturally affirming environment. The inaugural event takes place June 27, 2026 at Library 21c in Colorado Springs, Colorado, offering participants the opportunity to network, connect, collaborate, and leave with clarity about their next step in the AI economy.

The AI Confidence Assessment is a free digital tool that delivers a personalized AI Confidence Score to any user in three minutes. The assessment identifies where the user currently stands with AI, what is slowing them down, and what their next best move is. It serves as the primary entry point into the Bookshelf AI Publishing Solutions LLC ecosystem, connecting users to both free and paid programming based on their individual results.
