What would you say if we told you that you could extend the 24 hours of your day to, say, 36 hours? Let’s make it 40, or whatever you need… Artificial intelligence is not advanced enough to interfere with how long it takes the earth to revolve around its axis, but it is capable enough to “automate” our daily routines and help us use our time more efficiently… Artificial intelligence solutions can help us use our time more efficiently by quickly solving our personal routine tasks.
We can determine how much we can simplify and speed up our daily lives with AI tools that we adapt and organize into our own routines. Thus, by organizing our work, we can effectively manage our time in our daily lives and increase our performance by focusing on the issues that will benefit us.
Learning the Language of the Computer
Being able to adapt the capabilities of artificial intelligence to one’s own routine according to the needs enables a person to reduce their workload and use their time more efficiently by delegating their work and actions in their daily lives. In areas such as home automation, shopping, health tracking, personal assistants and automation tools, we can achieve greater convenience and efficiency with AI-supported solutions. This allows us to focus on other activities where we can devote more time and energy. In addition to all this, we can also use time efficiently by delegating our work-related tasks to AI to meet our needs much faster.
Identify your daily routine actions: If you often spend a lot of time in your daily workday digging deeper into a topic and summarizing that information, automate actions such as creating these summaries and turning them into charts, graphs or tables. As another work routine, if you spend a lot of time going through files and emails and replying to them, you can automate this too, if the emails you have to reply to one by one take up a lot of time. List your similar routines.
Choose the right tools: Find out which tools can benefit the needs on your list. Artificial intelligence-powered automation tools are becoming more and more advanced, making our lives easier. But it is one thing to read and learn about them, and quite another to apply them to organize your life in a functional way. With new alternatives being added every day, you need to choose and grasp the ones that are relevant to your work.
Learn the language of the computer: You must learn how to communicate with new systems: Just like speaking a foreign language with someone from another culture, being able to speak the language of the computer makes things much easier. For example, you need to be able to express in the same language which commands you can give to an AI solution, or which criteria you want for which business support. For this, you need to understand how prompts work, for example, to optimize AI models based on natural language processing. Which question you ask and how you ask it will also affect the answer you get. You should have a good command of computer language, which requires taking into account factors such as the right choice of words, language structure, question form or instructions, so that you can use it more efficiently. For this purpose, you can comprehend the logic and rationality of artificial intelligence with usage videos or courses such as Udemy.
Build to customize: After checking that each component of the solution works to meet your needs correctly, test it. After provisioning, make sure you use all the efficient features available to you. When using different AI applications, evaluating user experiences can help you determine which applications benefit you the most.
It is important to gain experience using AI applications. For example, you can experiment with AI-powered language processing applications, use AI-based personal assistants or develop AI-based software. When there is a lot of interaction of multiple solutions, there is more potential for conflicts, which automation can mitigate and standardize. In other words, you avoid conflicting commands with similar effect coming from two separate applications that overlap. With practice, you can learn how apps work and how they can be used.
Research and update your knowledge: AI technologies are changing and evolving frequently. Keep your knowledge up to date and do research to develop a basic understanding of the subject. Articles, books and online resources on AI concepts, applications and use cases can help. Learning about new algorithms, tools and applications, and being open to improvement is one of the most important steps in keeping up with rapidly evolving AI technologies. Use online platforms and courses that teach about AI, such as Udemy, Coursera and edX, to improve your knowledge. Communities of AI experts can be instructive, and sharing knowledge and experiences with other AI enthusiasts on platforms such as online forums, groups or meetup events can also be a way to learn.
Using Artificial Intelligence for Routine Tasks
When you want to do sports, for example, when you go for a run, you can run together with your running partner, competitor or coach who appears next to you as a hologram through an artificial intelligence technology infrastructure. Your hologram running partner can stand next to you and warn you, guide your run or support you with professional tactics, and you can get motivated and accelerate by running with a sports coach. This physiological acceleration can also be applied to your work throughout the day.
With virtual assistants that can assist many daily routine operations of individual users and organize the functioning of businesses, it is possible to get high performance efficiency from applications. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Bixby, Microsoft Cortana, Amazon Echo can extract the user’s work schedule and timetable based on past searches and make them available in various applications. Thus, through virtual assistants, for example, through the retrospective breakdown of your financial data, you can document the possible expenditures of the next period and turn your budget planning into graphs. In this way, you can automate your daily personal or corporate finance management activities and organize them with artificial intelligence.
AI-powered automation tools that we can use in our daily workflow on our personal computers are helping us to improve workflow and efficiency. For example, platforms such as IFTTT (If This Then That) ensure that when a certain event occurs, another action is automatically taken. This could be when a certain email arrives or a task is performed in a certain timeframe. In this way, you can summarize your emails to support your daily workflow and speed up your work with pre-built automatic responses in preparation for the email transmission to be ready for the necessary actions.
Before your business meetings, you can shorten your meeting preparation process before your meeting time. By automatically checking your previous meeting notes and “to-do” lists, you can set topics for the next meeting and get organized easily. For example: When you enter an online meeting via Google Meet, Zoom, MS Teams or Webex, it can be difficult to take notes of what many participants are saying. For these types of meetings, you can install a simple Google Chrome extension to capture what was said in the meeting in a written document and get automatic summaries or headlines. You can also quickly take written notes in the form of headlines to summarize a long speech you’ve watched on YouTube.
If you are interested in achieving good photo quality in the visual arts or photography, you can find out with precise data exactly which camera fine-tuning is best for the image you want to capture. You can handle your purchases and reservations automatically and regularly according to your routine buying habits. You can speed up the preparation of your software code by using automated software suggestions that will speed you up.
You can accelerate your work by creating tools called “Dashboard”, a kind of dashboard that allows even very complex data to be easily viewed, reported and transferred. If you have multifaceted and multi-layered data sources, you can count and grade the data or quickly obtain the quantitative information you want to transfer through the indicator with the “dasboard”, which allows you to view them together in a visualized and summarized way. This is an all-round convenience for you and your business. When developing marketing and communication strategies, you can prepare more precise plans by discussing possible scenario forecasts based on data analysis. As an HR manager, you can gain momentum in monitoring and interpreting business performances; in financial management, you can gain momentum for efficient work on basic financial status or in marketing, you can gain momentum for efficient work on issues such as sales and customer potentials. Data-driven reporting, such as target audience analysis and breakdown of forecasts for future periods, provides many benefits to managers as it enables fast and accurate decision-making.
As a general surgeon, if you take advantage of artificial intelligence, you can, for example, work much less risky and faster in your operations. A surgeon wearing Hololens glasses can see Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applications as 3D AI-based hologram images during the operation. What’s more, they can work on the patient’s organ by matching the hologram imaging results with voice and finger commands. This technology, which shortens operation times and assists surgeons with minimal errors and risks, is under constant development and is being optimized to provide much faster operation processes in future studies. Thus, risky and challenging operations that took hours in previous years can be completed quickly and easily.
RPA, an artificial intelligence technology used to automate repetitive and time-consuming business processes, automates tasks such as data entry, file transfer and data analysis using software that mimics computer processes. In this way, for example, in banks or hospitals that require multiple processing of customer, member or patient information in different systems, RPA automates this process and saves your time.
