Ask
Earlier this week: a short voice conversation with my AI advocacy avatar, general education only.
The live demo has ended.
Can I ask for five minutes of your time?
If you feel the work here is good, maybe you can spare $5 for the Invisible Disabilities Association. On Oct 22-23, 2026, Eric offered to match individual donations made to his team page, dollar for dollar, up to $250 total, through Friday, Oct 23, at 11:59 PM Eastern. This offer has ended. I wish I could do more.
Welcome to the week

Play the story
I Am Invisible No More. Meet Sam. You cannot see the pain, but you can explore the choices, support and barriers in Sam’s day. There are no wrong answers.
My advocacy avatar
This was my AI avatar, made for advocacy – not me live. It used my cloned voice, created with Anam, and kept to general education.
The live demo has ended.
Sessions closed Saturday, October 24 at 11:04 PM Eastern. AI avatar, not Eric live. General education only.
