5 AI skills for busy parents

For parents and carers juggling school, meals and everything else.

These five skills take care of the small family jobs that pile up: replying to school, planning the week's meals, sharing out chores, helping with homework and planning a party. Set each one up once, then just ask. They work in ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude and most other AI assistants.
