Routines and applications for a more efficient life
Since ChatGPT’s breakthrough two years ago, we have embraced AI as an integral part of our strategy. True to our innovative DNA, we not only research it to boost our business, but we actively integrate it into our professional and personal lives, ‘leading by example’.
Can you imagine having a personal assistant available 24 hours a day to optimise your daily tasks? Well, it’s already a reality!
AI as your personal and professional ally
In a world where time is money, artificial intelligence has become an ally to enhance our capabilities and simplify our daily lives. Although I was initially sceptical about its use beyond basic tasks such as translations or reading emails, my fascination with AI has grown so much that in addition to in-house training, since September I have embarked on an annual daily AI course, which my husband has also joined and even my daughters are ‘aware’ of how we have incorporated it into our daily lives.
Today, AI is part of my routine, especially when I am in front of the computer. Although I am still adapting to its use on mobile and with voice assistants, every day I discover new applications and platforms that boost my productivity and efficiency in surprising ways. Some particularly useful use cases include…
Writing emails: Communicate with style and efficiency
How many times have you drawn a blank in front of an important email? AI can help you compose professional emails, adapt the tone to suit the recipient and even suggest quick responses. Tools like GPT can be your best ‘collaborator’ for clear and effective communication. However, I recommend using Perplexity – which is an intelligent search engine – beyond the fact that we have forged this collaboration in-house, because it offers more contextualised and up-to-date answers, based on real-time information from the web.
Travel preparation: Your personal travel agent
Imagine planning your next trip with a virtual assistant who knows your preferences! From the comfort of your own home, you can create tailor-made itineraries using a variety of AI tools simultaneously. Request recommendations based on the number of travellers and length of your stay, and watch as the AI suggests a complete itinerary.
From there, drill down into the details: what to visit in each place, where to eat, accommodation options… What really amazed me is the ability to get an interactive map for my next holiday, incorporating into the free GPT mode the itinerary generated by a tool that allowed me to visualise and download it with a URL. AI is transforming travel planning into a personalised, exciting and less stressful experience.
Mock exams for your children: Personalised learning
As a mother, I know how important it is to support our children in their education. AI apps used well can be great allies for students to prepare effectively, offering simulations tailored to their levels and needs, as well as providing instant feedback and pinpointing areas for improvement.
In my case, I use these tools frequently, sometimes even discreetly, to complete texts with blanks or prepare plickers for oral exams, as I don’t want my daughters to confuse the use of technology with a lack of discipline in their education. Many of my colleagues also advise me on the advantages of text to speech with tools such as Reader. This type of technology not only offers a ‘storytelling’ mode, but also transforms subjects into more dynamic experiences, as it allows students to interact with the content in a conversational way. This helps them to resolve doubts and concerns, making any subject more accessible and understandable, and through the ‘experiential’ mode they learn while having fun.
Article summary: Knowledge at a click
In the information age, keeping up to date can be overwhelming. AI can summarise long articles, highlighting key points and allowing you to absorb crucial information in a matter of minutes. It’s like having a personal research assistant. My favourite is this one from Google, which offers impressive capabilities:
- It allows you to upload up to 50 sources in various formats (articles, URLs, etc.).
- Facilitates interaction with the content in a versatile way.
- It generates audio in several languages with different voices – yes, as you listen to it, up to 15 min of podcast!
This tool significantly enhances the ability to process and understand large volumes of information, becoming an invaluable ally for learning and research in the digital age.
Advantages of integrating AI into your routine
The incorporation of artificial intelligence into our daily lives offers numerous advantages that can significantly improve our quality of life and productivity
- Time optimisation: AI automates repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on more important or creative activities.
- Personalised experience: These tools adapt to your specific needs, learning from your preferences and habits.
- Constant evolution: AI is continuously updated, offering increasingly accurate and useful solutions.
- Permanent availability: Access help or information anytime, anywhere, from any connected device.
- Informed decision making: AI processes large amounts of data quickly, providing valuable insights.
- Improved accuracy: Helps minimise human error in tasks that require accuracy and consistency.
- Interactive learning: Many AI applications include educational components to develop new skills.
- Stress reduction: By taking on tedious or complex tasks, AI can alleviate work overload.
In short, AI transforms the way we work, learn and live, offering adaptive solutions that evolve with our needs and improve our efficiency in various aspects of daily life.
Recommendations for getting the most out of AI
Start gradually: Identify areas where you need support.
- Explore tools: Try different AI applications.
- Maintain balance: Use AI as a complement, not a replacement.
- Keep up to date: Find out what’s new in AI.
- Customise: Configure tools to your preferences.
- Integrate into your routine: Incorporate AI into your daily processes.
- Share experiences: Join user communities and discuss with your friends and colleagues.
- Evaluate the impact: Reflect on how AI improves your life.
Are you ready to take the leap and transform your routine with the help of AI?
Remember, the path to a more organised and productive life is just a click away. Artificial intelligence is not just a passing trend, but the perfect companion that can help you achieve your personal and professional goals more effectively.
By integrating AI into your daily life, you will not only be optimising your time and resources, but you will also be preparing yourself for a future where the synergy between humans and machines will become more and more relevant. Dare to explore this fascinating world of possibilities and discover how technology can empower your human potential.
Do you dare to dive into the vast ocean of AI? The use cases and fields of application are virtually endless, from creating images and music to solving complex scientific problems. There is no industry or area of knowledge that AI cannot touch and transform. Beyond productivity, AI challenges us to increase our creativity, sharpen our critical thinking and face new challenges without fear.
It is crucial, however, to carefully adjust the configuration of each tool according to its purpose and the profile of the user. I invite you to join the AI conversation on social media, where we share experiences and discoveries on this exciting technological journey. Remember, AI is not here to replace us, but to empower our unique human capabilities. Are you ready for
