Generative AI is providing personal style tips, translating family conversations, analyzing diets, and transforming lives in countless ways, Axios readers tell us.
Why it matters: AI isn’t only a workplace tool, and as it seeps into our lives, many are using chatbots every day to diagnose illnesses, mourn the dead, or seek comfort when human companionship isn’t available.
What’s next: As we enter year three of the generative AI revolution, we asked readers to tell us all the ways they’ve been using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and other genAI tools — not for work but for everything else.
- The top three ways people use Claude are for mobile app development (10.4%), content creation and communication (9.2%), and academic research and writing (7.2%).
- That leaves a whole lot of people using it for a whole lot of other tasks.
