It started with curiosity.
Bonhomme & Company grew from a simple observation: periods of technological change become far more interesting when the conversation moves beyond what technology can do to what people can do with it.
Its perspective is informed by more than a decade of experience working in technology — seeing new tools reshape how people work, communicate, solve problems, and make decisions.
As generative AI began moving rapidly into everyday life, a new set of questions emerged. Where is it genuinely useful? What does it take to use it well? And how do people move from simply knowing these tools exist to understanding how to apply them with confidence and good judgment?
Those questions led to hands-on experimentation: using AI to solve everyday problems, explore ideas, learn new skills, create, and test what the technology could actually make possible.
That experimentation became Everyday Adventures with AI, a place to document what was being learned through use.
Along the way, one idea became increasingly clear:
Access to powerful technology isn’t the same as knowing what to do with it.
That idea became Bonhomme & Company.
A Note from the Founder
The technology is interesting. What people do with it is even more interesting.
I’m Charis, founder of Bonhomme & Company.
Working in technology has taught me that the arrival of a new tool is only the beginning. What matters is what happens next — how people understand it, where they find value in it, and whether they develop the confidence to use it well.
That has become even more apparent with AI.
The tools are becoming more capable at remarkable speed, but capability alone doesn’t create understanding, confidence, or good judgment. Those develop through experience.
That’s what interests me most about this moment.
Not simply what AI can do, but how we learn to work with it thoughtfully — how we ask better questions, recognize where it can genuinely help, experiment without needing to have everything figured out, and know when human judgment matters more.
That perspective shapes the work at Bonhomme & Company.
You don’t need to know everything about artificial intelligence to begin.
You need curiosity.
A willingness to experiment.
The confidence to ask questions.
And enough judgment to know when the answer deserves another look.
For me, AI fluency isn’t about becoming an expert in every tool.
It’s about becoming more capable with them.
Where the adventure began.
Everyday Adventures with AI began as a place to explore generative AI through use — trying the tools, testing ideas, asking questions, and documenting what happened along the way.
It became a space for looking beyond the headlines and discovering what AI could actually mean in everyday work and life: where it was useful, where it surprised, where it fell short, and what became possible with a little curiosity and experimentation.
That hands-on exploration continues today.
EAWAI remains the more experimental side of the work — a place to try things, share what’s being learned, and explore new possibilities as the technology evolves.
The lessons from that experimentation also help inform the thinking behind Bonhomme & Company.
What comes next
Bonhomme & Company is still evolving — intentionally.
As technology changes, so will the questions worth asking, the skills worth developing, and the opportunities worth exploring.
