From Zoom Calls to Bedtime Tales – AI’s Got You
Hey Papa, Today’s AI wins: a design tool that makes you look sharp, a meeting bot that takes notes for you, and a bedtime hack that reads in your voice so you can sneak off like a pro. Let’s dive in. |

THE PROBLEM:
You smiled, nodded, and forgot everything the second Zoom ended.
THE AI FIX:
Fireflies.ai Meeting Assistant
QUICK HOW-TO:
- Connect Fireflies to your calendar and video conferencing apps
- Let it automatically join and transcribe your meetings
- Use the AI to extract action items, decisions, and questions
- Get a prioritized to-do list after every call with due dates
TIME SAVED: 1+ hour per week not manually tracking commitments
PRO TIP: Ask Fireflies "What did I promise to deliver this week?" every Monday morning for an instant priority list that keeps you accountable. |

THE KID CHALLENGE:
You’ve read that damn book so many times it’s now a sleep aid — for you.
YOUR AI MAGIC TRICK:
Speechify Custom Voice Narration
HOW TO AMAZE THEM:
- Record yourself reading a few paragraphs of any book
- Upload the recording to Speechify's voice cloning feature
- Select any children's book from their library (or upload your own)
- Let the AI read the story in your voice, complete with emotion
DAD CRED EARNED: Level 85 Storytelling Sorcerer
"My son thought I was reading to him from the other room. When he realized it was AI using my voice, he asked if we could make one of grandpa reading too." |

THE BORING TASK:
Your kid’s class needs a flyer, your HOA wants a poster, and your idea of “design” is Comic Sans on a Word doc.
THE AI ALTERNATIVE:
Canva Magic Design (free tool)
MAKE IT HAPPEN:
- Go to Canva, click “Magic Design”
- Type in what you need (e.g., “kids’ soccer flyer” or “family BBQ invite”)
- Pick a vibe, drop in your photo, boom — pro-looking designs in seconds
- Use it for social posts, invites, even those last-minute school projects
HASSLE FACTOR REDUCED: From “I’ll just make it in Paint” to “How did you make that look so good?”
PRO TIP: Save a template called “Dad’s Quick Fix” so next time you’re voluntold, you’re 3 clicks from done. |
