It’s a funny thing: a decade ago, if someone said, “I asked my assistant to turn off the lights,” you’d picture a human being walking over to a switch. Now? You assume they mean Alexa, Siri, or Google. And lately, maybe even ChatGPT. That shift in language tells us everything about how deeply AI assistants […]

I have to admit—sometimes I find myself glancing at my phone or smart speaker and wondering, are you listening right now? It’s an oddly unsettling feeling. One minute you’re chatting with a friend about booking a trip to Denver, and the next, an ad for flights to Denver pops up on your screen. Coincidence? Maybe.

It’s a question I’ve heard whispered in hallways, asked nervously over coffee, and debated heatedly in executive meetings: Can AI really replace personal secretaries? At first glance, the idea feels almost absurd. Secretaries—or executive assistants, as many prefer to be called—are not just schedulers. They’re confidants, organizers, protectors of time, and often the quiet glue

The first time I saw a colleague casually ask a chatbot to draft an email that would’ve taken me twenty minutes, I felt two things at once: envy and unease. Envy because, wow, that was fast. Unease because if a machine could handle this so easily, what did that mean for people like me? This

Do you remember Clippy? That wide-eyed, bendy paperclip that would pop up in Microsoft Word and cheerfully (sometimes annoyingly) ask, “It looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like some help?” For many of us, Clippy was the first brush with what we’d later call an AI assistant. Back then, it was quirky, rudimentary,

Laundry. Just saying the word makes some people sigh. Piles of clothes that never seem to shrink, mystery socks that vanish into some alternate universe, and settings on the washing machine that look more like NASA controls than household buttons. But what if the machine actually learned from you? What if it could anticipate your

There’s something comforting about the sound of a sizzling pan, the aroma of bread rising in the oven, or even the nervous glances between friends when a roast looks a little too crisp on top. Cooking, for most of us, has always been both ritual and survival. It’s where creativity collides with necessity. And then

Vacuuming is one of those chores that nobody brags about. It’s repetitive, it’s noisy, and it always seems to need doing at the worst times—like right when you’re rushing out the door or when guests text that they’re “ten minutes away.” So it’s no surprise that robotic vacuums, led by the famous Roomba, swept their

Coffee is sacred. For many of us, that first cup in the morning isn’t just a beverage—it’s survival. The ritual of grinding beans, hearing the water gurgle, and breathing in that first waft of steam is as emotional as it is practical.
