Avi Maderer is a coach, speaker, and data analyst dedicated to helping people and organizations explore purpose and meaning in the age of artificial intelligence. With the rise of automation and large language models reshaping how we work, Avi asks a central question: What makes human life meaningful when AI can do much of what we do?

Through his frameworks—such as the “purpose audit” and “meaning portfolio”—he guides individuals toward deeper, more resilient sources of fulfillment beyond their careers. His approach blends critical thinking, practical coaching, and philosophical reflection, making him a sought-after voice for those looking to adapt thoughtfully to technological change.

Avi also hosts the podcast Human in the Loop: ChatGPT for Critical Thinkers, where he teaches professionals how to use AI as a creative partner while maintaining human judgment, rigor, and perspective. Across his coaching, writing, and speaking, he empowers audiences to embrace AI not as a threat, but as an opportunity to reimagine work, creativity, and meaning itself.
