Life with a Side of AI

Dear Digital Diary,

So, um… I did a thing. I started a blog about AI, with AI as its co-star.

I’m calling it Life with a Side of AI, because that’s exactly what I’m serving up here—real-life routines, tiny moments of magic, and all the delightful ways artificial intelligence can make our days a little easier, a little smarter, and honestly… a little more fun.

Let’s be real: AI can feel overwhelming, robotic (duh), or like it belongs in some Silicon Valley startup’s pitch deck. But I don’t think it has to be that way. I think it can be warm. Playful. Cozy, even. Like a digital bestie who helps you meal plan when your brain is mush, or talks you out of impulse buying another throw pillow at 1 a.m.

This blog is for the curious humans who:

• Want to use ChatGPT but don’t know what to ask it
• Like the idea of AI helping with adulting, not replacing your job
• Crave structure, creativity, or just a little extra support
• Wouldn’t mind if technology came with a soft blanket and an Iced Latte

Here’s what you can expect around here:

✨ Whatever I’m currently using AI for (from grocery lists to pep talks)

✨ Gentle experiments in making life feel less chaotic

✨ Prompts you can copy/paste and actually use

✨ Encouragement, curiosity, and maybe even a little woo-woo

Some posts will be helpful. Some will be weird. All of them will be written with heart—and probably over-caffeinated fingers.

If you’ve ever thought, “AI sounds cool, but I have laundry and emails and a mental load the size of a continent”—then hi. You’re my kind of person.

Let’s explore what happens when you live life—with a side of AI. You bring the curiosity, and I’ll bring the prompts.

With love (and a little help from AI),

Nikki
