I Let AI Organize My Life, My Kid’s Art, and My Garage

June 02, 2025

Hey Papa,

This week's AI tricks include a photo organization hack that saved me 3 hours of sorting, and a way to turn your kid's drawings into animated characters. Let's dive in.

WORK SMARTER

THE PROBLEM:

Spending hours trying to find that one specific document buried in your Google Drive or Dropbox folders.

THE AI FIX:

Coda.io AI Document Assistant

QUICK HOW-TO:

  1. Connect Coda to your cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
  2. Use natural language to find files ("that presentation from March about the budget")
  3. Ask follow-up questions about document content without opening files
  4. Create instant summaries of long documents with a single click

TIME SAVED: 45+ minutes per week not hunting through folders

PRO TIP:

Ask Coda "What was the main decision from last month's strategy meeting?" and it'll scan meeting notes to give you just the answer—no reading required.

THE KID CHALLENGE:

Your kid's drawings are piling up, but you can't bear to throw away their masterpieces (even though you're running out of fridge space).

YOUR AI MAGIC TRICK:

Wombo Dream's AI Animation

HOW TO AMAZE THEM:

  1. Take a photo of your kid's drawing with the Wombo app
  2. Select "animate" and watch as their creation comes to life
  3. Choose from different animation styles (gentle, bouncy, dramatic)
  4. Send the animated version to grandparents for instant "coolest dad" status

LIFE HACK

THE BORING TASK:

Trying to remember all the random measurements in your house when shopping (curtain sizes, air filter dimensions, that weird-shaped rug).

THE AI ALTERNATIVE:

HomeZada - Homeowner AI, Digital Home Inventory

MAKE IT HAPPEN:

  1. Take photos of items you frequently need measurements for
  2. The app automatically detects and stores dimensions
  3. Create a searchable database of everything in your home
  4. Pull up exact measurements while shopping, no more guessing

HASSLE FACTOR REDUCED: From "buying the wrong size three times" to "nailing it on the first try"

PRO TIP:

Create a "Shopping Helper" collection for items you frequently replace, like air filters, light bulbs, and appliance parts. Share access with your partner to end the "can you measure that again?" texts.

ONE THING TO TRY THIS WEEK:

Ask ChatGPT to "create a custom workout routine for a busy dad with [your specific time constraint] that requires no equipment and can be done while watching the kids." Then actually do it while they're playing in the yard. Double win: you get fit while supervising.
