I recently compiled a list of some of my favorite generative AI tools for boosting workplace productivity. But what about life outside of work?
Is generative AI also useful for tracking, organizing, managing and automating those day-to-day tasks that we often find ourselves trying to fit into our busy schedules?
Absolutely. Some clever people have turned their hands to creating AI tools and applications for a ton of every day (and some not-quite-so-everyday) activities, from cooking and cleaning to keeping fit and managing finances.
Here’s an overview of some of those that could be particularly helpful in helping us save time on daily chores and activities, which can then be spent doing things that are more exciting and rewarding.
Five Of The Best Generative AI Tools For Everyday Life
Let’s first look at five outstanding generative AI tools that can significantly improve everyday life, ranging from managing finances and planning meals to optimizing travel. These innovative applications are designed not only to simplify routine tasks but also to enrich your daily experiences, freeing up time for more enjoyable pursuits.
Cleo
Cleo is a personal budgeting app that uses a conversational, generative interface to help users keep track of their finances and spending. It provides insights into spending habits in natural language, which users can query and interact with through the chatbot interface. Designed to be flexible and user-friendly, it offers a “roast mode” that will tell you off for frivolous spending, as well as a “hype mode” that uses motivating language to encourage you to save and invest.
Expedia
Travel search engine Expedia has built generative AI chat functionality into its iOS app, enabling it to act as a virtual travel agent. So rather than having to sift through 1.6 quadrillion combinations of dates, destinations and airlines available via its website, users can get simple answers to holiday queries in straightforward, natural language.
Expedia Group was one of the first major online services to partner with ChatGPT creator OpenAI, and its personalized travel assistant Romie is powered by GPT-4. As well as natural language searching, it lets users create personalized travel itineraries and summarize guest reviews for quicker reading.
ChefGPT
Who doesn’t sometimes get stuck when it comes to thinking of ideas for dinner? Or find themselves looking at a kitchen stocked with random ingredients that don’t seem to go together?
ChefGPT aims to solve these everyday problems by acting as your personal chef and kitchen assistant. ChatGPT is comfortable with diverse diets, such as vegan or keto, and also works as a personal nutritionist, capable of helping users hit specific nutrition goals while keeping within their personal dietary restrictions. It even suggests perfect wine pairings for the meals that it generates.
Remodel
Home improvement and DIY are fun, but visualizing the result of your latest grand design can often be tricky. This app lets you create realistic visualizations for any interior or exterior design or landscaping project you can think of. Simply upload an image or input room dimensions and instantly see how it could look when remodeled in a variety of styles.
FitGPT
AI-powered fitness coach that generates personalized workout schedules, meal plans and motivation. There are several generative AI fitness coach apps available today, but FitGPT stands out from the crowd thanks to its ability to tailor fitness programs around individual user data and its user-friendly approach to helping you hit your personal goals. It also offers dietary and nutrition advice and is set up to help anyone, no matter what their starting level of fitness is. It’s also totally free for users of the basic plan.
