Practical AI for everyday life

Real weekend tasks. Real AI help. Honest receipts.

I’m a mom with ADHD testing AI on the everyday stuff (calendars, money, family plans) and showing what it actually cost in time, money and mistakes. Mine and the AI’s.

First episodes launching this winter

What this is

AI for the life part of work–life.

Most AI advice is built for offices and hustle. This is for the rest of the week: the family calendar, the subscriptions you forgot about, the Sunday that keeps slipping. Each episode takes one real task, does it for real with an AI assistant, and reports back, including the parts that didn’t go well.

  • Real tasks, not demos

    Things a busy family actually has to get done. No staged prompts and no perfect-world examples.

  • Honest costs

    Time spent, money spent, and what it took to get there. No made-up “hours saved.”

  • Mistakes on both sides

    When the AI gets it wrong, you’ll see it. When my prompt was fuzzy, you’ll see that too.

  • A human in charge

    I make the decisions and approve anything that costs money. AI helps; it doesn’t get the final say.

The scorecard

Same six questions, every episode.

Every experiment ends with the same scorecard, filled in from timestamped logs. So you can compare episodes, and decide for yourself whether it’s worth trying.

  1. Time spent

    Start and stop times for every session, added up. Not a guess.

  2. Money spent

    Subscriptions, apps or anything bought for the task. “Already paying” counts, and gets said out loud.

  3. AI’s mistakes

    Every wrong answer, invented detail or confident miss, with a timestamp.

  4. My mistakes

    Fuzzy prompts, skipped steps, wrong inputs. Fair is fair.

  5. ADHD friction

    The moments I stalled, tab-switched or got overwhelmed, rated 1 to 5.

  6. Verdict

    Worth it, Not worth it, or Only if… with the one condition that matters.

Not worth it” gets published too. That’s the point.

Who’s behind it

Hi, I’m Hana.

I’m a mom with ADHD, and my weekends are where the life admin piles up: the calendar, the forms, the plans for my daughter, and the list of things I meant to do last weekend.

I’m not an AI expert, and this isn’t a productivity channel. I’m testing whether everyday AI tools actually help someone like me, and writing down what it really costs. Sometimes the answer will be “yes, absolutely.” Sometimes it will be “not worth it.” Both get published.

The very first experiment was using AI to help launch this series. It built useful foundations, and it made a few confident mistakes along the way. So did I. That’s the show.
