He shares how AI assists in personal tasks, from finding coffee to creating meal plans for his diabetic mother. These tools are making everyday life and professional work significantly more efficient for individuals in the technology sector.ETtechSrijesh K, chief product and technology officer, PractoI use AI heavily personally, and using Codex, Gemini or Claude for building is addictive. It is like having multiple hands that can move fast and for people in the technology space, this is huge. It is because one of the biggest investments earlier used to be sitting and writing code. Now that is done by AI. I am asking questions about how I can leverage AI to make my life easier. I was building and testing a trading app sitting at home watching Netflix and that is how easy it has become. I used Gemini to find a new brand of instant coffee, with a local flavour. Recently, I used Gemini to build out a meal plan for my mother, who is diabetic, given her constraints. I refresh the weekly plan every Sunday for the week ahead.Prompts used for meal planningCreate a meal plan for family with individual constraintsTranslating the meal plan into Kannada that the cook can readCreate an image of the meal plan that can be shared on WhatsApp(As told to Swathi Moorthy)Disclaimer: This column is for general information and does not constitute advice; readers acting on it do so at their own risk.To share interesting stories of how you use AI in your everyday life, please write to eteyeonai@timesofindia.com ...moreElevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.Subscribe Now
