1. Personalized and Smart Emails

You must have seen the 2-3 smart reply options right below the email you receive. These replies try to mimic your response to the particular email.

Let’s say your friend invites you for a coffee at his place. He sends this invitation through email. Gmail will display smart replies such as Sure, I’m in, Yes, Let’s do this, I’m not available. To reply to this email, you can either type the answer manually or pick any of the smart replies.

Moreover, tools like Grammarly are automatically activated when you type messages on Gmail ^[2]. They help you correct the typos and send a professional and error-free message.

3. Personalized Product Recommendation

Do you love to binge-watch Netflix web series and shows? Do you use Amazon for your regular shopping requirements? Well, you are already exposed to Artificial Intelligence then! Amazon and Netflix use AI-powered search engines to offer personalized recommendations.

For example, Amazon will display the products that interest you. It considers your previous purchases, browsing history, and buying patterns to recommend the best and relevant items. Likewise, 80% of the shows and web series that users watch on Netflix are the ones that the AI-powered Netflix search engines recommend.

4. Travel Aids

Every time we are stuck in gridlock, we use Google Maps (and other advanced traffic apps to get real traffic and weather reports. Google Maps is a perfect example of Artificial Intelligence. It provides users with accurate directions and leads them to their desired destination. The best part is you are not going to encounter traffic jams if you follow the AI-driven route. You could also activate the self-driving mode for safe and quick driving.

5. Social Media

Most functions and apps on your smartphones use AI technology to provide you with a 100% personalized experience. What could be a better example than the social networking sites? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are focusing more on personalized user experience.

Every time you check your Instagram or Facebook feed ^[3], you see an array of posts that resonate with you the most. Gone are the days when feeds were filled with the common and most liked content. Today, it features the posts you are interested in. It has all become possible because of Artificial Intelligence. AI tracks your browsing history, the previous posts you have liked, posts you saved, your comments, and other actions to create a personalized feed for you.

6. Unlock Your Device with Face ID

Most of us unlock our smartphones using either finger sensor or face ID. When you try to set a face lock on Apple Device, the camera puts over 30,000 dots on your face and clicks the picture. Every time you try to unlock your phone, it scans your face and compares it with the face details stored on the device.

7. Airline Flights

It might sound pretty surprising, but pilots do not perform a lot of tasks in the cockpit. According to the research, pilots spend only 7 minutes in operating the plane. The rest of the job is executed by Artificial Intelligence ^[4].

The airline companies are designing airplanes that will completely be operated by Artificial Intelligence. In fact, you will soon witness a time when the unmanned planes will fly. There will be no crew and pilots. All operations will be managed by AI-driven bots.

From texting your friend to catching a domestic flight, Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Indeed, it has become a crucial part of our everyday life.
