Top 10 Ways to Use AI in Your Daily Life

Find your style with AI 🎨

Want to know which colours suit you best? AI can analyse your skin tone, hair, and eye colour to suggest the most flattering shades for your wardrobe.

💡 Try this: "I have fair skin with cool undertones, dark brown hair, and green eyes. What colours would suit me best based on seasonal colour analysis?"

AI as your personal therapist 🧘

AI can help you reflect on your emotions, understand moral dilemmas, or navigate tricky social situations. While it’s no replacement for professional support, it can be a useful tool for self-reflection.

💡 Try this: "I feel nervous about an upcoming presentation. Can you give me some strategies to manage my anxiety?"

Create the perfect playlist to match your mood 🎶

Tell AI your mood or a scenario, and it will generate the perfect playlist for you—whether you’re studying, working out, or relaxing.

💡 Try this: "Create a playlist for a rainy afternoon when I want to feel cosy and relaxed."

Homework Help & Deadline Extensions ⏳

Struggling with an assignment? AI can break down complex topics or even help craft a polite excuse if you need an extension.

💡 Try this: "Write me a professional email to my tutor explaining that I was unwell and couldn’t complete my homework on time."

AI for Persuasive Writing ✍️

Need to convince your parents to get a dog? AI can generate a solid list of reasons to support your case.

💡 Try this: "Give me five persuasive reasons why having a dog is beneficial for a family."

Social Media Caption Generator 📝

If you’re stuck on what to say in your Instagram post, AI can help you craft a creative, funny, or engaging caption.

💡 Try this: "I need a witty caption for a picture of me drinking coffee on a Monday morning."

Let AI create your workout plan 💪🏽

AI can create personalised workout routines based on your fitness level, goals, and available equipment.

💡 Try this: "I want to build muscle at the gym. Can you create a five-day workout plan for me?"

What’s for Dinner? Let AI Decide 🍽️

Not sure what to cook? AI can suggest recipes based on the ingredients you already have in your fridge.

💡 Try this: "I have chicken, broccoli, and rice. What meal can I make with these ingredients?"

Plan Your Next Adventure ✈️

AI can help you plan your next trip, from suggesting destinations to creating detailed itineraries.

💡 Try this: "I’m visiting Paris for three days. Can you create a sightseeing itinerary for me?"

Find the Perfect Gift 🎁

Struggling to find the perfect present? Whether it's for Secret Santa or a special occasion, AI can suggest great gift ideas based on someone's interests!

💡 Try this: "I'm buying a gift for someone who loves baking and cosy nights in. What would be a good present?"

Tips for Writing Effective AI Prompts

Be Clear and Specific – Vague prompts lead to vague answers. Instead of “Give me a caption,” try “Write a witty Instagram caption for a beach sunset photo.”

Provide Context – AI works best with background details. If you need a speech, mention the audience, tone, and key message.

Refine and Experiment – If the response isn’t right, tweak your wording or add more detail to guide the AI.

Use Step-by-Step Instructions – Breaking down complex requests improves accuracy. Instead of “Help me start a blog,” try “Suggest five blog post ideas about personal finance and write an engaging introduction for one.”

Learn from AI’s Responses – If the output isn’t what you expected, adjust your prompt and try again.
