Spend more time on what you want with these incredible AI tools

Everyone can use a little help, especially parents that are deep in their careers and family life. Don’t even get me started about how much of a curveball summer months are when school’s out. We have leaned on two powerful tools, ChatGPT and Duckbill, to make our lives easier in areas where we need the help so we can try and keep as much attention on the things that matter most. I’ve used both of these tools extensively and they each have a unique place in my AI stack: one for digital brainstorming and research, the other for real‑world task execution, because at the end of the day, we simply need to get things done. Below are ten everyday scenarios and my recommendations for which platform I use at each step.

1. Fixing Things at Home

   • ChatGPT: Take pictures and describe the issue to get step‑by‑step troubleshooting tips and DIY guides.

   • Duckbill: If the DIY route fails (or you just don’t want to!) Duckbill will find, schedule, and coordinate a qualified professional (plumber, electrician, etc.) to get the job done once and for all.

2. Grocery & Meal Planning

   • ChatGPT: Generate recipe ideas, build a weekly meal plan, and compile a grocery list.

   • Duckbill: Place a delivery grocery order or even create a recurring grocery order. Save a step and have Duckbill do all of the recipe brainstorming and meal planning, too, then the grocery ordering is even more seamless.

3. Writing & Communication

   • ChatGPT: Draft work emails, party invitations— any writing task you need polished.

   • Duckbill: Can make calls on your behalf or gather helpful details you might not think to ask for. I use it to schedule calls when I’m busy or don’t want to forget a task— it’s especially helpful when timing isn’t ideal. They’ll wait on hold so you don’t have to.

4. Saving Money on Home Services

   • ChatGPT: Research average costs and compare service provider reviews.

   • Duckbill: Solicit multiple quotes, negotiate on your behalf, and ensure you stay within budget— without the legwork.

5. Planning a Family Vacation

   • ChatGPT: Research destinations, draft detailed itineraries, and discover local “must‑see” spots.

   • Duckbill: Book flights, reserve hotels, arrange car rentals, and even secure restaurant reservations. They’ll take it from idea to dream vacation.

6. Helping Kids with Homework

   • ChatGPT: Explain difficult concepts, generate practice problems, or suggest study resources.

   • Duckbill: Find and schedule a qualified tutor for one‑on‑one support.

7. Organizing a Birthday Party

   • ChatGPT: Brainstorm themes, craft activity schedules, and draft invitation copy.

   • Duckbill: Book venues, order decorations and catering, and coordinate vendors.

8. Managing Household Chores

   • ChatGPT: Create chore charts, find efficient cleaning hacks, or build a rotating schedule.

   • Duckbill: Arrange recurring services (house cleaning, lawn care) or one‑off errands (package pickup, dry cleaning drop‑off).

9. Learning a New Hobby

   • ChatGPT: Provide step‑by‑step tutorials, recommended reading, or technique breakdowns.

   • Duckbill: Source and deliver supplies— whether it’s art materials, gardening tools, or musical instruments. Duckbill can help find courses (virtrual or IRL) or groups of like minded people to learn with, as well.

10. Brainstorming via Voice Models

    • ChatGPT (Voice Mode): Talk through ideas aloud and let the AI ask clarifying questions— “What’s your budget?” or “Who else is involved?”— to refine your plans.

    • Duckbill: After the brainstorm, hand off any logistics— like booking a call with a consultant or ordering specialized equipment— to Duckbill’s copilots.
