I made my kids a voice-mode AI tutor to help them with spelling and math. It saves me time to have more fun with them.

Chris Domanski, a 41-year-old business management and development director at Renau, a manufacturing facility in California, created a voice-controlled AI tutor for his daughters, ages 8 and 6, to help them with spelling and math. The progress reports that his daughters received last year revealed that one struggled with math and the other with reading. Chris decided to use AI to assist his daughters with homework, digitize school handouts into a calendar, and create drawing prompts for them.

To begin, Chris uploads his daughters' homework to ChatGPT, which then creates custom quizzes to test their knowledge. He also instructs ChatGPT to focus on specific study guides and not become distracted by other topics. The AI tutor helps the daughters practice the material until they can confidently and accurately answer all questions.

Additionally, Chris uses AI to digitize school handouts into a calendar. He takes pictures of flyers, calendars, permission slips, and classroom notices, and then uses ChatGPT to extract dates, deadlines, supplies, and action items. The AI then creates .ics files that he imports into his Outlook calendar, making it easier to track and manage the constant stream of information that comes with having two grade-school children.

Lastly, Chris uses AI to generate custom images for his daughters to draw. Initially, they asked ChatGPT for images of Disney characters, but the AI declined due to copyright restrictions. Instead, Chris and his daughters collaborated with the AI to create open-source alternatives and have fun with drawing and painting.
