AI Can Help With Both Childcare and Exercise

In cooperation with the FI – Information Technology department, we bring you an overview of trends and interesting facts from the world of artificial intelligence, which is making its way ever more deeply into our lives.

Create a book for your children

Google’s Gemini AI model can create a book tailored to your children. The feature is called Storybooks, and it can be found in the Gemini application among the so-called GEM robots. Based on text input, it usually creates a 10-page book, including illustrations that match the plot. You can choose the illustration style: comic, colouring book or 3D effect, among others. The tool can also read the book aloud. You can upload your own photos or drawings to the file, which the AI will use as inspiration. This allows you to explain to your children, for example, how day and night work, what to expect on their first visit to the dentist or what artificial intelligence is.

Advice on how to exercise properly 

Smart gyms using AI are becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. They enable effective and individualised training. Sensors monitor your movements, and machines or cameras in the gym measure how you perform the exercises: how many repetitions, your posture, pulling force and so on. AI recognises errors in your technique and recommends how to correct them. Based on your goals (weight loss, muscle strengthening, fitness), it will also draw up a training plan for you. This plan is automatically adjusted according to your results. For example, it increases the load, adds exercises, or recommends rest. You also receive instant feedback during your workout: “Straighten your back more”, “Shorten your squat”, “Increase the weight by 5 kg”. Some systems display animations or videos directly on the screen next to the machine. Numerous applications, including the Czech Fitko.ai, allow you to compete with your friends or track how your body changes over time.

However, remember that the more information AI uses, the more important it is to protect your personal data.

Skoda Supplements

Škoda Mobil, the employee newspaper of the Mladá Boleslav-based carmaker, includes special supplements that focus on especially important topics from Škoda's perspective. Supplements can be a part of the newspaper, in the same format as the newspaper, inserted, for example, in the form of a flyer, or they can be stand-alone unique magazines in a specific format, such as supplements dedicated to new models, the brand's historical anniversaries, or other important information from the company's environment.
