The five questions (Sāṃvāda)
Five questions about your work and AI. Our founder’s answers are already there. Answer in any language, at any length. Skipping a question is also an answer.

AI for ALL · a Leap of Faith Labs initiativeUse AI with your own judgement
AI for ALL helps you think clearly about AI in your own work: where it helps, where it does harm, and what must stay human. It is for one person, a teacher, a parent, or a whole organisation. Saying no to AI is a valid answer here.
At a glance
- What it is
- Help to use AI well in your work — or to decide, with good reasons, where it does not belong.
- Who it is for
- Anyone. One person on their own, teachers, parents, schools, NGOs (non-profit organisations), cooperatives, civic-tech platforms, artisan groups, and the funders who back them.
- What you need
- Your own work, and an honest look at it. You do not need to know anything about AI. No account, no sign-up.
- What is free
- Workbooks, card decks and tools — free to use, copy and share, for everyone, always.
- What is paid
- Guided programs. Every price is on this page. Prices are in rupees, tax included.
- Language
- We work in the language you work in.
- First step
- Send a one-minute inquiry on WhatsApp or by email — or answer five questions about your work. Our founder has already answered them in public.

Things you can use right now
No sign-up, and nothing tracks you. What you type stays on your device.
Svarāj workbook
Ten working days on one piece of your own work: what AI does inside it, and what it never does. Write on screen or print it on A4.
The Staffroom Loop workbook
Ten hours on your own lessons, one hour at a sitting. Every hour leaves you something you can hold. Nothing is scored.
The AI Usage Cards
Nine plain cards to say what AI did in a piece of work, what stayed yours, and what you checked. Fill one in and show it.
Everything here is shared under CC-BY-SA 4.0 — a Creative Commons licence. In plain words: you can use it, change it and share it, as long as you name where it came from and share your version just as freely. More free workbooks are on the Pathika shelf.
How every program works
Four steps, always in this order
Every AI for ALL program — for one person or a whole organisation — follows the same four steps.
Sāṃvāda
A conversation between equals. Whoever asks, answers first. We start by listening to how your work really runs — not the official version.
Viveka
Together we map your work: which tasks AI could touch, where it would help, where it would harm, and what must stay human. We look at the evidence, and at the strongest case against.
Putting it to work
We try the smallest real use that can show whether it works, and check it for harm. If the honest answer is “don’t use AI here”, that is a full result, not a failure.
Sevā
The work is written up so others can learn from it. You decide what happens next — and you judge us.
Programs and prices
One for a single person, four for organisations
Every price is public. Prices are in rupees, tax included, and every engagement runs on a signed letter.
Svarāj
For you if you want to use AI at full speed and keep your judgement. It is deliberately not a course about going faster.
- Free, now: the Svarāj workbook — walk it alone, at your own pace.
- One-to-one: ₹10,000 for ten working days with our founder, workbook included. Want more days? The program grows, and the price grows with it.
- When: one-to-one Svarāj opens after our first organisation case studies are published. We keep to that, even when people ask us to open sooner. The waitlist is open.
Join on WhatsApp — message ready Or start with the five questions
Nāgarika
For you if citizens depend on your platform, and AI is arriving faster than your judgement of it.
₹1.5–4.5 lakh advisory · ₹4–16 lakh embedded
For the first pilots, we write up the work in public in place of a fee. The first pilot is underway.
Sahakāra
For you if your members own the institution, and you want them to own its AI decisions too.
₹1.5–6.5 lakh advisory · ₹4–16 lakh embedded · ₹3–12 lakh train-the-trainer
A small fee always — never free, because what is free is never truly owned. Travel is charged at what it costs.
Vivekī
For you if funders are asking about your AI position, and you would rather have real judgement than a policy PDF.
₹75,000–2 lakh Discernment Lab · ₹5–12 lakh facilitator training (8 weeks) · ₹7–17 lakh both, with six months of follow-up
Padtalani, our AI impact check in line with India’s DPDP Act (the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023): ₹75,000–3 lakh on its own, by the size of your organisation.
Hastakāra
For you if the craft is the asset, and AI should serve the makers rather than describe them. For artisan clusters and networks of women-led MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises).
₹15–30 lakh full program, paid by a funder
This covers field costs too, including paid time for the artisans who take part. We can invoice in US dollars for international funders.
Not sure which one fits? Tell us the size of your organisation and what you are deciding, and we will send you what it costs. Send an inquiry →
Back the work where it becomes real
Hastakāra is paid for by a funder, so the makers do not carry the cost. You can also fund any program as a pilot, through to its first checked result — a real outcome that someone else has verified, not a deck describing one. The documentation is open, and the upside is shared with the communities involved.

How to begin
From first note to signed letter
For schools, NGOs, cooperatives, platforms and clusters. Either side can stop at any step.
- Send an inquiry, or answer the five questions. Use the inquiry form, the Sāṃvāda page, email or WhatsApp. Any language, any length, written or as a voice note.
- We talk about fit. We tell you honestly whether we are the right people to help. We never pass judgement on your work — only on whether we can be useful. A clear “no” from either side is a good outcome.
- We sign a letter. What we will do, for how long, and the price — in writing, before any work starts.
- The program runs. The four steps, in your language, with your own people in the room.
- You decide. You keep what was made, you decide what happens next, and you tell us how we did.
Schools start the same way. Anything that involves children follows our child safeguarding policy.
For parents, students and teachers
Children and young people
Many children already use AI, often with no adult beside them. We work with children through the adults who care for them — a parent, a guardian or a teacher.
- Consent comes first. Before any AI touches a child’s data, we need written consent from a parent or guardian. This is a hard stop, not a guideline.
- No scores, no rankings. We never score or rank anyone, and that includes children.
- Start together, at home. The AI Usage Cards are a good first step with a child or a teenager: fill one in together about a piece of homework. Nothing you type leaves your device.
- A concern about a child’s safety? Write to childcare@lofl.world. It goes straight to our founder, with nobody in between. Read the full child safeguarding policy.
What we promise
The rules we keep
These hold in every program, for every person.
- Saying no is a skill. Choosing not to use AI for something is a respected answer, not a gap.
- Our answers first. We answer every question ourselves, in public, before we ask you.
- A person decides. AI can draft and suggest. It never signs or approves anything. A person does, every time.
- We never score people. We record what people did. We never rank who did it.
- Your people’s data stays with you. We work only with data that has names and personal details removed, or with made-up sample data.
- In your language. We deliver in the language you work in.
- Open by default. What we make is shared under CC-BY-SA 4.0, and we write up the work in public unless there is a good reason not to.
- Human hands for art. Nothing we ship uses AI-made art.
Questions people ask
Plain answers
Do I need to know about AI first?
No. You need your own work and an honest look at it. We start from what you already do.
I don’t use AI, or I don’t want to. Is this for me?
Yes. Deciding where AI does not belong is half the work. Here, refusing is counted as a skill.
Is this a course about working faster?
No. It is about keeping your judgement while you use AI — or while you decide not to.
Do you sell AI software?
No. We do not sell a product, and we do not lock you in. We build on open tools, and what we make together is yours to keep and share.
Can it be free?
The workbooks, cards and tools are free for everyone. Guided programs are paid, because what is free is rarely owned. On your own, one-to-one Svarāj is ₹10,000 for ten working days. For some first pilots, we write up the work in public in place of a fee.
What happens to what I share?
Answers go back to your group as a set — side by side and whole, never averaged and never scored. You choose how you are named: your full name, your role only (for example, “a science teacher”), within the group only, or no name at all.
My child wants to learn about AI. Can they join?
Children take part through a parent, guardian or teacher, and only with written consent. See children and young people.
Who runs AI for ALL?
Leap of Faith Labs (LOFL), a small studio in Pune, Maharashtra. Programs are led by our founder, Mrunmai Patil.
Something did not work for me. How do I tell you?
Use Signal. It takes about three minutes. Telling us what went wrong is the only required part — and your words stay exactly as you wrote them.
