Lucy Chen Joins SiliconRoshi AI Academy as Founding Member

BERKELEY, CA — August 31, 2026 — Lucy Chen is Founding Member #01 of SiliconRoshi AI Academy, the AI school founded by Zhibiao-Bill Wu for experienced professionals who want to build with AI. In late August she also took on the role of Founding Partner, helping guide business strategy and partnerships as the academy grows, and supporting workshop and curriculum design, including an AI hackathon for high school students this fall.

Chen began learning AI earlier this year through the academy's own courses, where she went on to lead discussions and start a study group. Since then she has built seven AI agents, without code, that now handle real parts of her coaching and speaking business. She calls the approach expertise engineering. You start with what you already know, and you teach the AI to work the way you do.

The academy's tagline is AI is here, just build it. "That's become my answer to every founder or coach still waiting until they understand AI better before they start," Chen said.
