Ever since I started working 40 hours a week, I’ve realized that my mother is a superhero. Because, as a single 25-year-old, I don’t want to do…One. Single. Thing after work.

Like everyone I know, I resent the monotony of my life from Monday to Friday. There is barely any time after 5 PM to complete a full day’s worth of chores, errands, and more. And yet, parents must. They have to care for themselves and their children — cooking meals, getting to practices on time, going to the gym, and much more.

Life can be exhausting- whether you have children or not- and you may not have the energy to complete every task on your ever-growing to-do list. On days when you’re just trying to make it to your bed in one piece, you probably aren’t feeling the most inventive.

This is why more and more people are finding innovative ways to use Artificial Intelligence to make their home lives easier. AI can be a helpful tool for cutting corners and saving yourself some mental anguish. If it improves your life, why not?

In fact, many parents have started using AI to relieve some of the mental strain: crafting bedtime stories, finding snack recipes, helping with meal planning, and making home life simpler in tons of unique other ways. Not every parent is Dr. Seuss. Rather than meandering through a bedtime story that’s lacking a plot, there are now tons of sites dedicated specifically to bedtime stories for kids.

While some may say it’s cheating, I call it “protecting your mental health” and saving yourself some time. Here are a few fun ways that AI is influencing home life in 2024!

AI Bedtime Stories

When I read an article in The Guardian about how the writer was “shocked” that her husband was using AI to create bedtime stories for her kid…I was less surprised. I mean, if AI is taking over the jobs of writers in every other industry, why wouldn’t parents be using it for their own story-making benefit?

And while AI certainly isn’t a better writer than the human perspective, there are now specific platforms dedicated to bedtime stories alone. The Guardian writes,

“It’s essential to use ChatGPT as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, your own storytelling”, … overreliance on AI at bedtime might “encourage passivity”, both in the tellers and the listeners. Well, duh. Bedtime is arguably my most defenseless parenting moment of the day.”

I agree that ChatGPT’s writing lacks a certain likeability. It’s a robot, so most of it comes off as pretty robotic. I can see the vision though, so I decided to check out some of the AI bedtime story sites myself.

Sites like bedtimestory.ai craft stories that incorporate family members as characters, where you can control what setting and theme you want the story to have, and more. It gives you more control over your child’s bedtime story and gives you the most realistic-sounding tale I’ve seen so far.

AI Trip Planner

Yes, you can even have Artificial Intelligence become your travel agent for no extra cost. I’ve heard of girls on TikTok using AI to find the cheapest flights, hotels, and rental cars for their selected dates and locations. People are even planning ultimate Disney World trips with AI. The future really is upon us.

Websites like Trip Planner AI will gather everything you need to plan your trip successfully: hotel and flight details, bookings, trip and travel guides, and more. Roam Around and Wonderplan are also popular AI-powered travel sites.

But the point is, you no longer have to waste so much time searching and pining over details when there is now the technology to help you get started. Even if you don’t follow AI’s travel suggestions word-for-word, it’s still a resourceful tool to give you some guidance.

Taylor Swift is a megastar singer-songwriter known for her narrative songwriting, catchy pop tunes, and versatility across genres like country, pop, and indie folk.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become overwhelmingly popular in the past few years. The world has leaned full-force into technology and entrusted AI with, well, everything. You can see AI commercials, AI-powered statistics during sports games, and there was even a whole writer’s strike over the AI Invasion of storytelling and Hollywood. As I’ve watched tens

Ever since the pandemic popularized (or forced) virtual meetings and, countless companies adopted the hybrid work model or went completely virtual. And once the public health crisis was declared over, we remained confined to our desks in our kitchens and attics working from home. And it’s not just work. Doctor’s TeleHealth appointments, therapy visits on

Everyone knows they should probably be saving more money. And while it might seem savvy to skip the occasional impulse buy, don’t be too quick to pat yourself on the back when you refrain from buying yet another pair of ripped blue jeans. In times like these — when the recession is here and a

Recently, I found the perfect gift for my roommate — a sweatshirt of Rocky and Creed fighting, if you must know or needed last-minute inspo. She’s a fan of the franchise, and as a Philadelphia native, I couldn’t resist. Waiting until Black Friday (guaranteed sale), I logged onto PacSun’s website to be met with the

In the words of Ferris Bueller: “Life comes at ya fast.” I learned this when, after graduating college, I suddenly had to get my life together and financially support myself. The horror. But I’m also young and fun (I swear!). I want to go out with my friends, follow trends, and buy myself a little

A few years ago I was at Coachella, buying overpriced, under-seasoned food from a vendor who was particularly kind. Par for the course, all of these events are dominated by Square payments that provide the oh-so-convenient option to tip your gracious server. Oftentimes, the transaction is so quick, you’re wondering if you should even tip
