6 AI Apps That Will Improve Your Quality of Life

Artificial Intelligence is transforming our lives in unimaginable ways. Here are some of the best AI apps that will improve your quality of life.

There's a good chance AI is already integrated into your life to make tasks easier without you even knowing it. From Google Maps' traffic features to Amazon's Alexa, AI is now as much a part of our lives as smartphones and cars.

But it's not just the Big Tech players that design AI programs to impact our lives. Indie developers have jumped on the AI train to make AI apps of their own.

Here are several AI apps that will simplify your day-to-day tasks and improve your quality of life.

1. Diet Camera AI

The traditional method of calorie counting involves the tedious task of keeping record of every item you put in your mouth. Diet Camera AI takes the hard work out of record-keeping and calculates the calories on your plate with a single photo.

The app uses a food-recognition AI camera to see what is on your plate and count the number of calories in your meal. If it does not recognize an item, there is a manual search feature. The daily meal diary calculates your calories for the entire day with special insights into how much fat, protein, and carbs you ate.

If you have a goal weight in mind, Diet Camera AI will chart your daily progress with a nutrition report that tracks your calorie intake trend in conjunction with your weight.

2. PictureThis

Having an indoor plant sanctuary is one of the easiest ways to boost your health and enhance your quality of life. But before you build your plant paradise, you need to find out which plants will be a good fit.

PictureThis identifies plants using your phone's camera and the magic of AI. Finding the name of a plant is as simple as opening the app, pressing Identify, and taking a clear picture of the plant.

PictureThis goes a step further beyond being able to identify 10,000+ plant species with 98 percent accuracy. Each photographed plant in your collection has a basic profile including handy information such as Tips from Garden Coaches, Interesting Facts, and Condition Requirements for the plant to thrive.

Beginner gardeners can opt to receive watering reminders and plant care tips in addition to connecting with master gardeners to diagnose plant problems (for a fee).

Being part of a community is the most important factor in any budding hobby. PictureThis's three million-plus strong social community regularly share, like, and comment on each other's botanical snaps in a familiar feed that closely mirrors Instagram.

3. Wysa

Wysa is a personal therapist that fits in the palm of your hand. With the power of AI, you can anonymously talk to an emotionally intelligent chatbot that can support you in a range of mental health and wellness issues.

If all you need is a good vent, Wysa will lend you a patient ear and talk things through with you. The most obvious benefit of Wysa is that it's always available (unlike most people) and will never judge you for what you have to say (also unlike most people).

If you're looking for help with something a little more specific, there are 100+ AI-guided self-care exercises to help manage specific issues such as anger management, sleep problems, and anxious thoughts.

4. Aura

When life gets too stressful, sometimes you just need to step back and take a quick breather. Aura's solution for reducing stress is short meditations personalized by AI.

Simply open the app, press the Emotions button, select the emotion that best describes your current state of mind, and you will receive a meditation suited to your current mood. When you have completed your meditation, you can rate your session and Aura will personalize a better experience next time.

Among other features, you can soothe yourself to sleep with the sounds of nature and adult sleep stories, and track your daily mood to watch yourself improve.

5. Seeing AI

The Seeing AI app harnesses the power of AI to assist blind and low-vision users. Along the bottom of the app, six buttons each access a different feature. The default feature is Short Text, which instantly reads small bits of text when it appears in front of your camera. Meanwhile, Document analyzes longform text and narrates it out loud.

If you're going shopping, the Product and Currency features are especially handy. These scan a barcode and describe the product to you, and recognize your currency, respectively.

The Person feature will tell you how many people are in your surroundings, their facial expressions, and how close they are to you. You can also teach Seeing AI to recognize particular people by taking three photos of them.

Finally, Scene Preview is an experimental feature that audibly describes the scene surrounding you.
