Hi, it’s me again — Andrew, 67 years old and still learning right alongside you. I used to think “smart devices” were only for young tech people. Turns out, many AI devices are surprisingly helpful for regular folks like us.
Here are some of the AI devices that have made my life easier — and how you might use them too.
1. Robotic Vacuum Cleaners No more pushing a heavy vacuum around. These AI devices map your floors and clean while you relax with a cup of coffee or multitask around the house. I personally own a Roomba, and it’s been a game-changer for bad knees or busy days. See more practical tips here.
2. Smart Thermostats These AI devices automatically adjust your heating and cooling so you stay comfortable without constantly fiddling with the dial. Many learn your schedule and can save on energy bills. I have one with zone control, and some electric companies even offer incentives for installing them.
3. Voice Assistants & Smart Speakers Ask for the weather, set reminders, play music, or call family members — all hands-free. They’re especially handy when your hands are full in the kitchen. I have an Amazon Echo Show that plays music, shows information, and even works as a digital picture frame with my Amazon Photos account. There are also speaker-only versions that work with Google Assistant, and whole-house systems like Sonos for music in every room.
4. Robot Lawn Mowers For those with yards, these AI devices quietly cut the grass on their own. Less time sweating in the sun. Popular models like the Husqvarna Automower use GPS and a smartphone app for easy control.
5. AI Kitchen Helpers From smart ovens that cook perfectly to recipe apps that guide you step-by-step. The Breville Smart Oven with Joule Autopilot works with Alexa and walks you through recipes. Smart food scales (like the Cosori model) can scan barcodes and calculate nutrition.
My Honest Take You don’t need to buy everything at once. Start with one AI device that solves a real annoyance in your daily life. That’s how I did it — and it made a noticeable difference.
