Community Guidelines

How we show up in the Lab.

Effective May 18, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026

AI Power Lab is a place to learn, build, and get unstuck together. These guidelines describe how we expect everyone to show up, whether you joined through the free pathway, pay for the web app, attend a workshop, or post inside one of our community spaces.

If the Terms of Service are the legal floor, these are the cultural ceiling. Both apply.

Who these guidelines cover

These guidelines apply to everyone in any AI Power Lab space, including:

  • Live workshops, office hours, and events
  • Group chats, comment threads, and forums hosted by us
  • Direct messages between members in AI Power Lab spaces
  • Anything you submit, post, or share inside the web app
  • Any space where you are representing AI Power Lab

If you are interacting with another member because of AI Power Lab, these guidelines apply.

What we expect from you

Show up with respect

Treat every member the way you would treat someone sitting across the table from you. We are a mixed room: different industries, different skill levels, different backgrounds. Assume good faith and ask questions before you assume the worst.

Stay on topic

Conversations should be about AI, building, business, learning, and the work. Off-topic chatter is fine in casual threads, but please keep workshops and structured channels focused.

Share what works

If you figure something out, post it. If a prompt, tool, or workflow saves you time, tell the group. This community gets stronger every time someone shares the thing they wish they had known sooner.

Ask for help clearly

When you ask a question, include enough context for someone to actually help you. What are you trying to do, what have you tried, where did it break.

Give credit

If you are sharing someone else's prompt, framework, or idea, name them. Inside the Lab and outside of it.

Disclose AI

If you are sharing AI-generated content (writing, images, code, video, audio) as part of a question, answer, demo, or post, say so. We use AI together every day. Being honest about what is human-made and what is machine-made keeps trust intact and helps other members judge what they are looking at.

Protect privacy

What is shared inside the Lab stays inside the Lab unless the person who shared it gives permission. Do not screenshot, repost, or quote another member's words outside our spaces without asking.

What is not allowed

The following behavior will get a warning, a removal, or an account closure depending on severity.

Harassment and discrimination

No slurs, threats, intimidation, sexual harassment, or attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, marital status, family status, or any other protected characteristic. This is a one-strike rule for the worst cases.

Doxxing and privacy violations

Do not share another member's personal information (real name if they use a handle, home address, phone number, employer, family details) without their explicit permission. Do not record workshops, meetings, or calls without telling everyone first.

Selling your services without approval

AI Power Lab is a learning community, not a marketplace for member services. You may not promote, advertise, or sell your own services (consulting, builds, coaching, courses, agencies, freelance work, etc.) inside AI Power Lab spaces without written approval from Karima. If you want to share an offer, a collaboration, or a paid resource, email builder@aipowerlab.xyz first. We say yes more often than you might think, but it has to go through us.

Selling from a group admin role

If you are a group admin, host, moderator, or any kind of community leader inside AI Power Lab, you may not use that role to sell your own services to members. The admin role exists to serve the community, not to generate leads. This applies whether you are paid for the role or volunteering.

Unsolicited DMs and pitching

Do not direct message members to sell, pitch, recruit, or solicit them. This includes consulting offers, agency work, “quick calls,” coaching, MLM, affiliate programs, investment opportunities, paid masterminds, and anything similar. If you met someone in the Lab and want to work together, let them initiate, or ask them in a public thread first. Cold DMs to members are not allowed.

Spam and scams

Do not flood channels with promotions, affiliate links, pitch decks, or repetitive content. No scams, phishing, fake giveaways, or financial schemes.

Hate, harm, and illegal content

No content that promotes violence, terrorism, self-harm, eating disorders, or the sexual exploitation of minors. No content that is illegal where you live or where we operate.

Misuse of AI tools

Inside our spaces, the AI Use Policy in our Terms applies. That includes no deepfakes of real people without consent, no non-consensual intimate imagery, no impersonation, no using AI to harass, defraud, or surveil anyone.

Sharing other people's paid content

Do not screenshot, copy, or redistribute paid AI Power Lab materials, including curriculum, recorded workshops, paid prompts, or member-only resources. Do not share login credentials.

Disruption

Do not deliberately derail workshops, troll discussion threads, hijack other people's questions, or pick fights with other members.

Misrepresentation

Do not pretend to be someone you are not. Do not claim partnerships, endorsements, or affiliations with AI Power Lab, Soft Landing Company, or Karima Williams that do not exist.

Workshops and live sessions

Workshops are a working room, not a stage.

  • Cameras are optional, presence is not. If you are in the room, be in the room. Not driving, not in a meeting in another tab.
  • Use your real first name in your display name so we know who is talking to whom.
  • Mute when you are not speaking. Unmute when you have something to add.
  • Ask questions out loud or in the chat. Both work. We will get to them.
  • No recording, screenshots, or live-streaming without permission from the host and the people on screen.
  • If you need to leave early, just go. No need to announce it.

AI etiquette inside the community

A few specific norms because we use AI together all day.

Disclose when it matters

If you are sharing AI-generated content as your own work product, that is fine. If you are sharing AI output as the answer to someone else's question, say so, because they may want to verify it.

Do not paste sensitive client data into shared chats

If you want help with a real client project, scrub names, contact details, and confidential numbers first. The other members in the room did not sign your client's NDA.

Be careful with confident wrong answers

AI can be wrong with great confidence. If you are sharing AI output as advice, especially legal, medical, financial, or anything high-stakes, flag it so the rest of the room can judge it for themselves.

Reporting and enforcement

If something is off, tell us. You do not have to be sure. You do not have to handle it yourself.

Email builder@aipowerlab.xyz with the subject line “Community Report.” Include:

  • What happened
  • Where it happened (channel, workshop, DM)
  • Who was involved
  • Screenshots if you have them
  • Whether you want us to keep your name confidential

We aim to respond within 3 business days.

How we respond

Most issues get a private conversation and a course correction. Serious issues get a warning, a temporary suspension, or a permanent removal. The worst cases (threats, harassment, exploitation of minors, illegal activity, and repeated solicitation after a warning) get immediate removal and may be reported to law enforcement where applicable.

Appeals

If you have been removed and believe it was a mistake, reply to your removal email within 14 days and we will review the decision.

We do not owe anyone a platform. Membership is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to remove anyone whose presence is making the room less safe, less useful, or less honest for everyone else, even if no single rule has been broken.

A note from us

We built AI Power Lab because we wanted a room where small business owners, builders, and curious humans could actually learn this stuff without being talked down to, sold to, or made to feel behind.

These guidelines exist to protect that room.

Thank you for being here. Build well.
