ChatGPT as the Parenting Sidekick: AI Lightens the Family Load
A Boston Globe feature shows how parents—especially mothers—are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to manage everyday logistics, plan meals, coordinate schedules, draft communications, and create itineraries, reducing the mental load of running a two-working-parent household. The piece cites a rising share of parents using AI for non-work tasks and highlights startups like Confidante and Agenda Hero that tailor AI to parenting needs. While AI offers practical help and time-saving capabilities, the author also acknowledges its limits and emphasizes that the goal is to free time for connection, not replace human support.
