If you had told us ten years ago that artificial intelligence would be a part of our daily lives, no one would have believed you. However, rapidly developing technology has made this “science fiction” idea a reality. We all use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and applications now, and access to this technology is possible on a global level. In just a few minutes, you can download an AI application or buy a product powered by this technology and start using it in your daily life. So, what will you use it for? Let’s take a look at examples of how AI can make your life easier.
AI As an Assistant
You can use AI as an assistant in your daily life. This doesn’t just mean keeping track of your daily schedule and setting reminders. Microsoft’s Cortana, Google Assistant, Apple’s Siri, and Amazon’s Alexa can do much more than that. They can do research for you, summarize documents, carry out your voice commands, and work without manual input. What’s more, thanks to the technology they use, they are getting better and better, and they can actually get to know you. They can start a task or action for things you do regularly, even if you don’t give them a command.
You can use these assistants not only with your PC or smartphone but also with devices made for this purpose. For example:
- Alexa+, which is no bigger than an alarm clock, is free for Amazon Prime members and can converse with you like a real person. You can even give it complex commands and ask it to plan your daily life;
- Google Home can be used via a tablet and can handle all home automation tasks on its own, thanks to Gemini. It can recognize a person knocking on your door based on the clothes they are wearing – for example, it can identify a FedEx employee and let you know immediately when a package arrives. You can even control it with a Pixel smartwatch.
We can give more examples, but the biggest contribution of artificial intelligence to your daily life may be virtual assistants: you can easily manage both your home and your daily schedule thanks to them.
Of course, you can also use these assistants in your business life. They can remind you of your meetings, summarize a long report, and help you make a certain decision. For example, you can attend an important meeting with an executive summary prepared for you by your AI assistant and use this technology creatively. You can even have them share useful tips by doing specific research if you wish. For example, you can ask them to give you tips that will increase your chances of winning in the casino games on the Kasyno Verde site, or you can learn what to look for when playing at an online casino.
AI for Shopping
Shopping is another thing that AI can help you with. It can be surprisingly effective because, contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t just automatically order things that are out of stock at home. Here’s how AI can help you with shopping:
- You can use it to track and find coupon codes. Your AI assistant can even test these codes and see if they work;
- If there’s a specific product you want to buy, you can instruct your AI assistant to find the best price. It can be done within a certain time frame too. For example, you can say: “Track this product for a month and notify me immediately when its price drops below 1,000 PLN,” – and it will automatically place the order;
- Your AI shopping assistant can even recommend more affordable alternatives. It will be very good at this because it will learn your tastes and habits. You may discover a new product or service that you didn’t even know existed this way;
- If you know what you need but can’t decide on the product you want to buy, you can ask your assistant for help. For example, you can ask: “I have dandruff, what shampoo will work best?”- and see what the top options are.
But that’s just the beginning: if you go to a store that uses this technology, you can also benefit from in-store AI. Some brick-and-mortar retailers are starting to offer this service. AI can let you see how an item of clothing will look on you via smart mirrors – no need to try it on in a changing room. What’s more, it can also give you recommendations based on your body shape, tastes, and trends. Because these are voice-enabled assistants, you don’t have to “touch” anything to use them: you can get help by speaking. Some businesses even add facial recognition technology into this service, allowing you to make contactless payments, without having to use your card.
Getting Started with AI Tools Today
If you want to take advantage of all these services and features, you can do it right now. We’re not talking about things that will be available in the near future: everything we’ve listed here is available right now, and they are easier to access than you might think because most of it is completely free.
For example, if you have a PC with Microsoft Windows 11, an assistant called “CoPilot” can do everything we’ve mentioned here except for home automation. If you’re using a smartphone, you can install the Gemini or ChatGPT apps for Android. This also applies to iOS devices, but the latest models already come with their own AI, which can be accessed via Siri. So, no matter where you live in the world, if you own a PC or a smartphone, you can start using AI right away.
Of course, keep in mind that free versions often come with some restrictions regarding the duration of use. For example, ChatGPT only allows free users to enter a certain number of commands per day. You won’t be affected by these restrictions by purchasing a subscription, which will cost you around $20 per month. But considering what you get in return, it’s not that high price to pay.
