Everyone’s out here talking about skill-maxxing with GPT-4o. Let me tell you how I’m life-maxxing with it. ⚡Over the past year, I’ve replaced apps, subscriptions, and a lot of decision fatigue - by weaving AI into my real life, not just my work life. Here’s what that looks like:
🥦 Nutritionist + Calorie Tracker
I tell it what’s in my fridge - it plans meals that hit my macros, optimize leftovers, and adjust if I have a dinner out. When I’m eating at a restaurant, I tell it where I’m going - it reads the menu and suggests what to order based on what I’ve already eaten that day and the goals I’m tracking. It also makes my grocery list and updates meal plans as it learns my preferences. Goodbye, MyFitnessPal and NYT Cooking.
🏋️ Personal Trainer
I input my fitness goals once. Now it cycles strength, cardio, mobility, and rest days based on my week - whether I’m home, traveling, sick, or just stuck with one dumbbell.
🌿 Plant Whisperer
Snap a photo of any backyard mystery, and it not only identifies the plant, but tells me how to care for it based on my zip code’s climate. Way better than the apps I used to pay for.
🧴 Skincare Consultant
I uploaded my current routine and concerns - it optimized my morning and night routines, flagged bad ingredient combos, and suggested smarter layering. It even pointed out actives I was unknowingly mixing that shouldn’t go together. No more wandering Sephora aisles in confusion.
🧠 Creative Partner
Forget work - I used ChatGPT this year to plan my April Fools’ prank. It not only suggested the idea, but helped me create a fake tattoo image for a prank on my husband. Sorry, Aayush Dawra. (Mission: successful.)
A lot of people tried these tools a year or two ago and moved on - and I get it. But they’ve grown up fast. The toddler you met in 2022 has a PhD now. 🎓 If you haven't checked back in, it might be worth another look. You might be surprised what’s possible today.
