An expert reveals how parents can use AI to make their lives "easier" - and get their children into bed, plan birthday parties and help with homework.

Celia Quillain, 31, helps parents use the artificial intelligence chatbot Chat GPT to make "parenting easier".

She teaches them to use ChatGPT to write a bedtime story to ease the night time routine, to complete homework and help with plans such as birthday parties.

Celia, a technology product marketer from Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: "One of ChatGPT’s greatest abilities is its ability to ideate and just be creative.

“The idea to create a bedtime story just came from the pain of getting children to bed, and also knowing GPT’s useful capabilities.

“You can include your child’s name to the story and use the AI to create a life lesson that they need to learn about sharing for instance, but it makes it engaging and fun because your kid can contribute to story time as well.

“You aren’t the sole contributor to the story. You can ask the child - who do you want to be in this story and who are the characters?”

ChatGPT will then create a story from the prompts ready to be read back to at bedtime.

Celia is not a mum herself but believes storytime can "mean so much more" when both a parent and child create the story together.

She said her friends and neighbours with children have tried the idea first-hand and say it “works great”.

Celia also said mums and dads can use ChatGPT in other ways to aid in parenting.

She said: “There are a variety of things that if you look through a parenting lens you can do with AI which are incredibly helpful.

“It can be helpful when planning a birthday party. It can help with travel planning."

Just by providing the chatbot simple information about the age, theme, guests, and even dietary requirements - it offers a range of ideas for how to design the perfect birthday party.

The AI will return suggestions for themed invitations, decorations, colours, activities, party favours, and even snacks relating to the theme and necessary dietary requirements.

Celia said: "Even with homework if you just think it has been so long and you don’t remember how to help, ChatGPT can also be an assistant in that regard as well."

Useful prompts for homework include “explain simply” or “explain to a 10-year-old” alongside including the content your child needs help finding out.

However, Celia does warn that there are issues with AI answers suggesting users should always “fact check” searches to be safe.

Celia believes parents should definitely give AI a chance.

She said: “I would absolutely recommend that parents get involved with AI.

“Give it a try. Experiment with it and learn how it can help you and them.”
