[Self-Introduction] Mari | A stay-at-home mom raising children who wants to solve the 'hassle' with technology

Life with three boys is a series of 'hassles' beyond what I ever imagined.
But when I started incorporating technology into those 'I want to fix this' moments,
my life gradually became more organized, and new questions began to emerge.
'Life x Parenting x Technology'
I am continuing these experiments in the laboratory that is my home.

🎯 Days spent observing life and finding questions

After graduating from graduate school in a science field, I worked as an engineer.
Now, I spend my days living with my three boys, who are in 6th grade, 4th grade, and 2 years old.

There are countless things in the house that make me think, 'Ugh, what a hassle!'

My current 'job' is to gradually unravel those daily frustrations with the help of AI and technology.

🧪 Trying various things at home with AI

For example, here is what I have done.

• 🗣️ What if I made a diary app 'talkable'?
  → My eldest son, who wasn't good at writing, started putting his feelings into words every day.

• ✍️ What if I made kanji drills 'interactive' using ChatGPT?
  → It led to creative exchanges where he would re-select idioms while saying they were 'too normal'.

• 📊 What if I had AI read 10 years of health checkup results?
  → Even though they were all 'no abnormalities,' trends in my physical condition that were slowly changing became visible.

• 📚 What if I let AI choose books based on my manga app history?
  → Instead of big data, I was able to choose books tailored to my child's 'tastes'.

• 🌀 From washing machine errors to contracts and how to use seasonings—
  → Instead of searching for everything, 'just asking' has become a new habit in my life.

✍️ Writing is an interface for connecting with society

On note, I share from the perspective of 'Life x Parenting x Technology,' and sometimes exceed 10,000 views per week. I have over 1,000 followers.

On X (formerly Twitter), I have connected with over 6,600 people, and have received requests for interviews from NHK and television appearances.

But my starting point is very simple.
I want to share the questions and discomforts that arise in daily life just as they are with someone.

By writing, my thoughts are organized.
By thinking, my life becomes a little more organized.
From an organized life, new questions are born again.

This quiet cycle is the 'meaning of sharing' for me right now, and it is a modest form of social participation from the place called home, where I live alongside technology.

💡 3 things I've seen while living with AI

• AI is not something that robs children of their ability to think.
  Rather, it becomes the perfect sparring partner to pose 'questions' and nurture the ability to think.

• Searching is the act of looking for a correct answer.
  However, interacting with ChatGPT can sometimes become the act of thinking itself.
  Rather than getting an answer, it is a time to deepen one's thoughts. I find value in that.

• The power of technology shines precisely within those "vague inconveniences."
  Reaching out gently to the discomforts of daily life rather than tackling major issues.
  I believe that accumulating these small efforts will quietly change the future.

🌱 Closing

I am actively using AI in my daily life.
When I'm a bit troubled, or when I think something is tedious, I do it while having fun.

I will continue to try things, write about them, and share them.
Including everything—what was fun, what went well, and what didn't go well.
