What AI can do for your everyday life

Translation, paperwork, accessibility, learning and job searching — practical uses for people, not just companies.

Paperwork you don't understand

Paste a lease clause, a CRA letter or an insurance policy and ask: "Explain this in plain language. What do I need to do, and by when?" Then confirm the deadline on the original document.

English and French, both ways

Translate messages to a child's school, practise a job interview in your second language, or ask for the polite way to say something. For official documents, use a certified translator.

Accessibility

Live captions, read-aloud voices and image descriptions are now built into phones and assistants. They help people with low vision, hearing loss or dyslexia — and anyone in a noisy room.

Job searching, honestly

Ask AI to compare your résumé with a job posting and point out missing skills, or to role-play interview questions. Keep every claim true — employers check.
