Whether it is for your home or your office, AI can really improve the way we live with all the advantages that it provides in automating trivial daily activities that don’t require our full attention since we can rely on these new gadgets that are designed especially to support human living. 

What Is AI and How Can It Support You With Daily Chores?

Artificial intelligence refers to the development of intelligent machines that are designed to mimic human intelligence. Digital algorithms rule AI machines and their ability to make decisions based on digital data, mechanical sensors, and human feedback.

Engineers create smart machines with AI capabilities that take action based on data, fed to them from various sources. Blenders and calculators are examples of passive devices with predetermined, predictable operations. AI machines make operational decisions based on real-time data, and prove to be amazingly intelligent since they study and solve problems. These devices have the potential to change human lives by enhancing the way we do things and live.

Once we’ve gotten past the learning process and grasp how AI machines can help, we’ll be able to take advantage of and rely on their amazing functionalities for all kinds of tasks we want to avoid doing ourselves. And we will enjoy a higher quality of service that promises to make life more comfortable and entertaining.

AI Virtual Assistants 

AI personal assistants, also known as digital or virtual assistants, or intelligent personal assistants, provide a variety of services to users. Some popular options available in the market nowadays are Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Jibo, and Cortana.

Virtual personal assistants work with a natural language interface that allows the user to make voice commands or request information, and the AI assistant can provide answers or perform tasks indicated by the user, such as:

  • Siri, find me the nearest Italian restaurant
  • Is it forecasted to rain today?
  • Alexa, please schedule to start brewing coffee tomorrow at 7:30 am

If that’s not already super practical, you can also pair your virtual assistant to other AI devices in your home, so you can control them just by asking Siri or Alexa with a voice command. And with every new generation of these AI assistants, they continuously get better and upgrade their capabilities to make our lives easier.
