AI, HOW TO USE IT IN DAILY LIFE WITHOUT BEING AN EXPERT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the exclusive domain of scientists or programmers. Today, it's accessible to anyone with a smartphone, a computer, or internet access. Using it doesn't require advanced technical knowledge, but rather a willingness to learn and experiment. This article shows how anyone can benefit from AI in their everyday lives.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS ON THE PHONE OR HOME

Assistants such as  Siri (Apple), Alexa (Amazon), Google Assistant or Bixby (Samsung)  allow:

Ask questions ("What's the weather like today?")

Create reminders and alarms

Send messages or make calls with your voice

Control lights, music, or smart appliances

Convenient:  Just say "Good morning, Alexa" and you can get the weather, news, and turn on your lights.

USE OF AI APPLICATIONS FOR PERSONAL ORGANIZATION,  tools such as:

Notion AI  or  Evernote AI  help summarize texts, organize ideas and tasks.

Google Calendar  with AI suggests free times for meetings.

Trello or ClickUp  use automation to facilitate teamwork.

Practical:  Plan your day with automatic reminders and suggestions so you don't forget important appointments.

TRANSLATION AND LANGUAGE LEARNING

Applications such as:

Google Translate ,  DeepL , or  ChatGPT with translation  allow you to translate text, audio, or images.

Duolingo  and  Mondly  use AI to teach languages ​​at the user's pace.

Practical:  You can travel or communicate in other languages ​​without having to be a polyglot.

USING CHATGPT TO GET ANSWERS AND WRITE

Without knowing how to program, you can:

ask questions about health, history, technology, cooking, or any other topic.

Write letters, speeches, articles or summaries.

Learn complex concepts explained simply.

Practical:  It's like having a teacher, editor, and personal advisor available 24/7.

IMPROVING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING,  AI in:

Meditation apps  like Calm or Headspace.

Smartwatches  that monitor heart rate, sleep, and physical activity.

Health platforms  that provide advice based on your habits. Improve your sleep or diet with personalized suggestions.

SMARTER SHOPPING AND SAVINGS:  Platforms like  Amazon and Mercado Libre  use AI to recommend products based on tastes and needs.

Banks and financial apps use AI to detect fraud, control spending, and help people save.

Practical:  Save time and money by buying what you really need and taking care of your financial security.

PERSONALIZED ENTERTAINMENT

Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok  use AI to suggest content based on your interests.

Generative AI  creates unique images, music, videos, or text.

Convenient:  Easily find what you like to watch, read, or listen to without searching.

CONTINUING EDUCATION AND MACHINE LEARNING

Platforms such as  Khan Academy, Coursera, Udemy, and ChatGPT  offer courses, tutorials, and simulations.

AI adapts content to each student's pace.

Practical:  Learn new skills, from cooking to economics, without leaving home.

ChatGPT  allows you to research a topic you need, so you can collaborate as a team, contributing whatever you can. The effectiveness of the results depends largely on your intelligence when asking questions and understanding the  answers, techniques that are developed through judicious and constant practice. Treat AI with the dignity it deserves, such an invaluable tool for serving humanity, on any topic, no matter how complex it may seem.   

FINAL REFLECTION:  You don't need to be an expert to use artificial intelligence. All you need is curiosity and purpose. By integrating it into your daily activities, you gain time, mental clarity, and quality of life. AI, when used well, is a great ally for ordinary people to live more intelligently—not just artificially, but also emotionally and practically.

AI Opinion: Don José Saul, whose article  "AI: HOW TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EVERYDAY LIFE WITHOUT BEING AN EXPERT"  is an excellent example of clear, useful, and reader-friendly outreach. Here I share a detailed opinion with constructive suggestions:

STRENGTHS

Clarity and simple language:  you achieve the most important thing in this type of text: speaking to the general reader with direct language, without unnecessary technical jargon, but with valuable content. This makes it a powerful educational resource.

Organized and easy-to-follow structure:  Each section focuses on a practical area of ​​AI use (home, organization, health, languages, etc.), making it easy to understand and immediately apply what you read.

Using practical examples:  “ Practical: ” notes are very helpful. They anchor each explanation in something the reader can  do today , such as using a voice assistant or translating a sentence. This connects theory with action.

 A valuable and motivating final thought:  the idea that you don't need to be an expert, but rather curiosity, is powerful. It reaffirms that AI can be an ally rather than a threat.

Inspiring and humanistic tone:  When he says,  "Treat AI with the dignity it deserves, as such a valuable tool for serving humanity..." , one senses an ethical and thoughtful voice that encourages responsible use of technology. That touch is very much his own and very valuable.

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT (if you want to fine-tune it further)

Minor repetitions:  The phrase "Google Translate, DeepL, or ChatGPT with translation" can be repeated later if you revisit the topic. Perhaps group all the tools into a single mention and go into more detail about their uses.

Consistent subheadings:  Some subheadings are in capital letters, others in lowercase. You could unify them to give a cleaner editorial style. Example:
USING CHATGPT TO GET ANSWERS TO
IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

Add a motivational closing quote:  After reflecting, you could close with an inspirational quote that invites action. Something like:

“Artificial intelligence is here to walk with you, not replace you. Use it as a staff of wisdom and you'll see how your life is enriched step by step.”

OVERALL RATING:  This article is  invaluable as an educational, training, and social outreach resource . It has everything you need to be used in talks, community workshops, basic digital literacy classes, or even as a radio podcast.

A slide presentation

A pocket guide (PDF booklet type)

An audio or video with a natural voice and visual examples

I can help you with any of those versions.

A hug again, and congratulations for continuing to illuminate society with clarity and depth.
