Artificial Intelligence sounds like a big word, but in reality, it is now a part of our daily lives — especially through our mobile phones.
In this third part of Digital Saarthi Series we will cover how we can use AI effectively for our lives.
1. Google Assistant – Your Voice Is the Remote Control
“Bolo aur kaam ho jaayega – that’s AI living.”
What if we tell someone to do a job and he does without complaining.
Use Google Assistant using simple voice commands like
- Set medicine & bill reminders – “Hey Google, remind me to take BP medicine at 9 pm”
