Detroit event links AI and financial literacy to generational wealth

A free Detroit community event on Sunday will launch a new book that ties artificial intelligence to tax education, entrepreneurship and wealth-building. The authors say the goal is to help people spot financial leaks, make better business decisions and build a lasting legacy.

Why it matters: - The event aims to show Detroit residents how artificial intelligence can be used for practical financial empowerment, not just productivity. - The book and launch event are pitched as tools for people trying to better manage money, strengthen businesses and build long-term wealth. - The focus on financial literacy and legacy-building targets a common gap: many people earn income but still struggle to understand where money goes or how to turn it into lasting assets.

What happened: - A free community event will be held Sunday, Nov. 15, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Motor City Java House, 17336 Lahser Road, in Detroit. - The event will introduce Building Wealth and Legacy with AI: A Financial Memoir by wealth strategists Adriane Mayes and Enyka Gaines. - The gathering is open to the public, and no book purchase is required. - RSVP is available here.

The details: - The book connects artificial intelligence, financial literacy and entrepreneurship in a format designed to help readers assess their financial habits and take action. - Mayes and Gaines draw on personal experience and professional backgrounds to connect tax education, business development and AI-powered tools. - Their framework centers on three steps: “Find the Leak. Fix the Plan. Build the Legacy.” - The project evolved from an initial collaboration on tax education and business development into a broader effort that includes AI tools, financial calculators and educational resources. - Attendees who want to buy the book can choose the Legacy Bundle Experience. - The bundle includes a signed, personalized book, limited-edition bookmark, digital book access and a 30-Day Book-to-Action Companion. - The bundle costs $32 for event pickup with code LIVE5 or $37 with shipping.

Between the lines: - The event reflects a broader push to make AI feel usable in everyday financial decisions, especially for entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. - The framing suggests the authors are positioning AI as a support tool for money management and business planning, not as a replacement for financial discipline. - The Detroit launch also doubles as a community-building event for people interested in financial education and technology.

What's next: - The Detroit event will serve as the book’s public launch and a chance for attendees to meet the authors. - Mayes and Gaines are expected to use the event to expand interest in their financial education resources and AI-based planning tools. - The book’s companion materials and bundle offer a next-step path for readers who want more hands-on guidance after the event.
