Ways to Use AI

Daily Simplifiers

The small frictions of an ordinary day, smoothed out.

What tends to get in the way

Remembering which pill was taken and which was not
The word that will not come
Lists written down and then lost

What actually helps

Medication reminders with Alexa

Say: “Alexa, remind me to take my blood pressure pill every day at eight in the morning.” She will say it out loud at eight, every day, and keep saying it until you answer.

Step by step

Plug in the Echo and say “Alexa, set up my reminders.”
Say the reminder exactly as you would to a person, including the time.
Say “Alexa, what are my reminders?” to check it took.

The word on the tip of your tongue

Describe it instead. “What is the word for the feeling of missing a place you have never been?” works perfectly well.

One list that stays put

Add to a shopping list by voice while you notice the milk is low, and read it on your phone at the shop.
