The RivalFlow team got together to bounce around ideas of how we're using AI in day-to-day life. From coding workflows and creative projects to diagnosing refrigerator problems and planning scavenger hunts, this roundtable shows how we've applied AI in our routines. Whether practical, efficient or fun, it’s shifting what “getting things done” actually looks like.
We'll let the discussion speak for itself, but don’t be surprised if it sparks some new ideas of your own. I've collected some highlights to watch for in the chat.
Best Standouts of How We're Using AI Everyday
AI clears up mental bandwidth. As Patrick put it, “What I think it does more than anything is clear up head space.” When you can offload low-level tasks to ChatGPT, you free up room for higher-level strategy and creativity.
Home repair help that’s surprisingly spot-on. Amanda diagnosed a burning smell in her fridge thanks to ChatGPT’s oddly accurate troubleshooting. “I would’ve bought a new fridge,” she said. Instead, it saved her hundreds.
Evaluating bids just got way easier. Patrick fed PDF estimates from electricians into ChatGPT and got back a digestible summary. For anyone managing properties or comparing vendors, that kind of automation is gold.
Creative projects for kids (and pets). Birthday scavenger hunts, custom escape rooms, and AI-generated poems—parents around the table shared how they’ve leveled up special moments using AI.
AI as a research partner. Mike described how ChatGPT helped him quickly understand a rare disease and translate medical documents during a family emergency in Brazil. “It’s literally life-changing.”
Advanced voice and coding tools are catching up fast. Tree shared how voice-based prompts help him map out project structures. Meanwhile, Will noted how AI accelerates technical documentation and problem-solving—even when building from scratch.
AI doesn’t replace creativity, but makes room for it. “It’s not taking the joy from me.” This is my stance on using ChatGPT to co-create games and puzzles. I can imagine the framework and use AI to make my concept work. It’s like handing off the grunt work to an enthusiastic assistant.
And one final surprise. I recommend this for your team and for your good boys and good girls.
