Ask “Jill” Anything

Diving Into the Darkness—the award-winning documentary about legendary explorer and Scuba Diving’s 2012 Sea Hero of the Year, Jill Heinerth—is now streaming. Dive into her stories of courage, exploration, and the planet’s most invisible places.

Want to go even deeper? Meet AI Jill—a new AI platform built from Jill’s books and a lifetime of interviews. Ask her anything and hear her answers in real time. “I spend a lot of time in classrooms, and I often see students sitting quietly in the back, too hesitant to ask questions in front of others,” says Heinerth. “I wanted to create a way for those students to connect with me privately.” AI Jill is designed to tutor dive students, break down complex concepts and solve equations for dive planning. But the new tech brings up some important environmental considerations as well.

The increasing use of AI necessitates building energy-intensive data centers to handle the onslaught of queries—a fact that Heinerth acknowledges: “We’re closely monitoring our usage to ensure we’re not creating unnecessary environmental impact. In the bigger picture, AI Jill can actually help reduce my carbon footprint—by allowing me to stay grounded instead of flying around the world. When attending an event in person isn’t environmentally justifiable, I can offer AI Jill as a thoughtful and sustainable alternative.”
