How the President of the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce is using artificial intelligence to help women and local entrepreneurs build businesses from the ground up.
Gwinnett County, GA —
In an era where technology is reshaping every aspect of work and life, Audrey Bell-Kearney stands out as one of the nation’s most dynamic voices in AI-powered entrepreneurship. As the President of the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Founder of the Georgia AI Summit, she’s on a mission to ensure that no one—especially women and older entrepreneurs—is left behind in the age of artificial intelligence.
“I’ve always believed that innovation should be inclusive,” says Bell-Kearney. “AI isn’t just for Silicon Valley. It’s for the everyday person who wants to start a business, build a brand, or create something meaningful.”
From Local Leadership to Global Vision
Under Bell-Kearney’s leadership, the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber has evolved into more than just a networking organization—it has become a hub for innovation and education. Through workshops, community partnerships, and mentorship programs, she’s empowering women to leverage AI to launch businesses, automate workflows, and scale their impact.
Her work extends far beyond the chamber walls. As Founder of the Georgia AI Summit, Bell-Kearney curates conversations and training that bring together entrepreneurs, policymakers, and educators to explore how artificial intelligence can strengthen Georgia’s economic future. “AI literacy is economic literacy,” she explains. “Communities that embrace it will lead the next wave of growth.”
Her influence is felt across multiple platforms, especially through her widely followed Good Morning Gwinnett Podcast, where she discusses local business stories and introduces listeners to practical ways AI can help them start and grow their ventures. The companion Good Morning Gwinnett website houses what she calls “Business Blueprints”—step-by-step AI-generated guides that turn ideas into actionable startup plans.
AI as the Great Equalizer
Bell-Kearney’s approach to AI is deeply human. Rather than treating technology as a replacement for creativity, she views it as an amplifier. “AI allows us to multiply our gifts,” she says. “It gives entrepreneurs the power to bring their ideas to life faster, cheaper, and smarter.”
Her belief in AI’s democratizing potential is not theoretical—it’s proven. She’s helped an 80-year-old woman finish and publish her memoir on Amazon using AI tools. She’s worked with a 79-year-old woman to launch and manage a financial newsletter that reaches hundreds of readers each week. She’s helped and 80 year old bishop leverage AI that has been on paper for 20 years, now it’s about to published on Amazon. “Seeing older adults light up when they realize they can use AI to tell their stories or run a business is priceless,” she says. “It’s not about the technology—it’s about empowerment.”
Through her AI Business Blueprint Series, Bell-Kearney helps local residents turn challenges into opportunities. Each blueprint includes everything from idea validation and business modeling to marketing automation and revenue streams—all generated with AI assistance and refined by her expertise. “I want people to see that AI isn’t intimidating—it’s like having a digital business partner,” she explains.
Building an Ecosystem of Empowerment
Bell-Kearney’s work is rooted in community. She believes Gwinnett County has the potential to become the AI Capital of the South, citing its diversity, entrepreneurial energy, and forward-thinking leadership. “We’re sitting on a goldmine of talent,” she says. “If we can teach local entrepreneurs—especially women and people over 50—how to use AI to solve real problems, we’ll transform lives and our local economy.”
Her dedication to fostering innovation has earned her recognition as a thought leader not just in business circles but also in local government and education. She regularly collaborates with chambers and civic organizations to host AI workshops and roundtables, demystifying topics like automation, generative content, and digital monetization.
Her latest creation, https://ClipVinci.ai, reflects that same commitment to solving real-world problems. “I built ClipVinci because I needed it,” she admits. “I was spending hours editing and repurposing podcast clips, creating memes and wanting to create comic strips. Now, with AI, that process takes minutes. It’s a game-changer for content creators.”
Faith, Focus, and the Future
Despite her many achievements, Bell-Kearney remains grounded in purpose. She often credits her faith and her decades-long entrepreneurial journey for shaping her resilience. “I’ve been in business for over 25 years,” she says. “I’ve had wins, I’ve had losses, but I’ve always believed that every challenge prepares you for the next chapter.”
That next chapter, she believes, is powered by artificial intelligence—but guided by human purpose. “AI can’t replace heart, creativity, or community,” she says. “Those are uniquely human. My job is to make sure people understand how to use AI to enhance—not replace—those qualities.”
As she continues to lead the Gwinnett Women’s Chamber and expand the Georgia AI Summit, Bell-Kearney’s impact is spreading beyond county lines. Her message is clear and timely: the future belongs to those who embrace innovation with integrity and imagination.
“I’m not trying to make people fall in love with AI,” she says with a smile. “I just want them to see that it’s here to help them build something beautiful.”
