πŸ‘‹ AI is your friend

AI takes work off your plate. Once you know how.

In everyday life and across whole industries, there are AI solutions today that genuinely save you work. This page shows what's already possible – explained plainly, without jargon.

Where AI already helps

From everyday life – and from the workplace.

A few examples of what you can ask and which data is used. Click an example – the explanation unfolds.

Everyday life
🍳 β€œWhat can I cook with what's in the fridge?”Photo of the fridge contents

Take a photo of your fridge and the AI recognises the ingredients. It suggests fitting dishes – from quick to fancy. If something's missing, it tells you what you still need.

🎀 β€œI have to give a speech – keep it light.”Your notes & keywords

Give a few keywords about the occasion and the person. The AI turns them into a speech in your tone – serious or funny. You only polish the parts that matter to you.

πŸͺ΄ β€œWhat's wrong with my plant?”Photo of the plant

A photo is enough and the AI spots typical problems like overwatering, too little light or pests. It explains the cause in plain words. And tells you exactly what to do.

At work
πŸ› οΈ β€œWhat does error code 35005 on my machine mean?”Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Β· internal manuals

The AI searches your internal manuals and docs in seconds. It gives the meaning of the code and the right steps. All without company knowledge leaving the building.

πŸ›°οΈ β€œHow are the satellite indices developing on my field?”Geospatial time-series analysis Β· remote-sensing data

From satellite data, the AI reads the state of your fields over time. It shows where growth stalls or stress appears. So you can act precisely instead of treating everything the same.

🌧️ β€œRemind me of the task when it rains in Hamburg.”Rule-based system + LLM Β· weather data

You describe the rule in plain language. A service continuously checks the weather and triggers when it rains. The AI then reminds you automatically of your task.

To understand

AI approaches, explained simply.

β€œAI” isn't one thing but many. Here are the key building blocks in plain words.

Language models (LLM)

Understand and produce language – like ChatGPT. Ideal for texts, questions and summaries.

Secure knowledge access (RAG)

AI taps into your own knowledge – manuals, docs, data – and answers from it, without anything leaving the building.

AI agents (Agentic AI)

AI that doesn't just answer but acts: plans, uses tools and works through steps on its own.

Geodata & remote sensing

Make spatial data from sensors and satellites usable – from the map to the decision.

Rule-based + AI

Fixed rules combined with AI – for example: β€œRemind me when it rains in Hamburg.”

Not always the big model

Often a lean classification model solves the task more cheaply than a heavy image model. The right solution beats the biggest one.

For comparison

Which AI is good at what?

They all handle the basics – the difference is in the peaks. A rough orientation, not a benchmark.

β˜… particular strength Β· βœ“ good Β· – not the focus. β€œCustom agents” = individually built systems (e.g. Hermes): a freely chosen model, deeply integrated with your own data, tools and devices. Connecting documents & company knowledge is now possible on the big platforms too. For a single task, a custom agent is only as good as the AI it plugs in (e.g. image quality = the embedded image model like GPT Image, voices via services like ElevenLabs) – its own strength is combining several specialist AIs into one workflow. Model choice on the big platforms is only in-house (different GPT, Gemini or Claude models) – a custom agent chooses across vendors. General tendencies – models evolve quickly.

Sources & status:
  • Images: GPT Image 2 (OpenAI) leads the image rankings (Artificial Analysis) – as of Sept 2026.
  • Code: GPT-5.6 (96.2%) and Claude Fable 5 (95.0%) at the top of SWE-bench Verified – as of July 2026.
  • Gemini: Gemini 3.1 Ultra with 2M token context and native multimodality – as of March 2026.
  • Custom agents (e.g. Hermes): Home Assistant AI integration & the MCP standard connect agents to your own data and devices and allow free model choice – since Sept 2025.
To get started

Four tips to begin.

01

Start small

Take a real, small task from your day and try it with AI.

02

Ask properly

Say clearly what you need – spelled out, like to a colleague.

03

The right solution, not the biggest

Often a simple tool is enough. More isn't automatically better.

04

Check, don't blindly trust

AI can be wrong. The final look stays with you.
