WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?
Cleaning your house
With AI, you can go to work and come home to a clean house without lifting a finger. While AI can't yet give your entire house a deep clean, vacuuming in particular is one chore AI can do for you.
With devices like the Roomba, you can set a schedule for it to clean on whatever schedule you provide. Certain devices even empty themselves, so you won't have to worry about that either.

AI can act as your own personal assistant by helping you plan out your days, so scheduling is one less thing you'll have to worry about.
Several AI planners have capabilities like scheduling meetings, creating to-do lists and being able to integrate with your calendars.
