We found stuff AI is pretty good at
Summary

Guests share how they use AI for complex tasks like cross-country moves, managing chaotic family schedules, enhancing web searches for nuanced information, and even "vibe coding" for tabletop games. The episode also delves into AI's limitations and the art of effective prompting, highlighting its role as a personal sounding board and a tool for offloading tedium.Episode description
In this bonus episode of The Vergecast, Senior Reviewer Victoria Song sits down with a bunch of Verge staffers to talk about how they use AI tools in their everyday lives. Not all of it went smoothly — we definitely get into the ways these tools fall short — but we explore how AI can be used to help bedtime go more smoothly for parents, plan big cross-country moves, supplement your internet searches (always double-check!), and even vibe code an app for your next tabletop role-playing game.
If you have any examples where AI was useful to you, we’d love to hear them. (For what it’s worth, we’d also love to hear stories where it spectacularly failed.) Email us at vergecast@theverge.com or call us at 866-VERGE11, we love hearing from you.
