From Screen Time to Family Time

Sunday, January 11, 2026 | Your daily dose of AI news that actually matters for parent entrepreneurs

Hey friends,

It's Sunday, and I'm writing this while my kids are building a LEGO city that's slowly taking over the living room. The last few days were wild in the AI world—NVIDIA dropped a massive open-source release, Google transformed Gmail for 3 billion people, and OpenAI officially entered healthcare. If you blinked, you missed about five major announcements.

Because of that, I've decided to ramp up the "From Screen Time to Family Time" newsletter and begin publishing on a nearly daily basis. That means you'll get even more news, and stay even more up-to-speed on everything happening in the world of AI.

Without further ado, here's what actually matters for you as a parent entrepreneur running a business from home. I've cut through the hype and pulled out the stuff you can actually use this week.

NVIDIA Just Made Enterprise-Grade AI Free for Everyone

What This Means for You

Remember when you needed a massive budget to access cutting-edge AI? Not anymore. NVIDIA's NIM microservices let you deploy these models without a computer science degree. If you've been thinking about adding AI features to your business—automated transcription, intelligent document search, customer service bots—this is your entry point.

Try This Week: Check out NVIDIA's speech-to-text models to automatically transcribe your client calls or team meetings. It's free, it's accurate, and it'll save you hours of note-taking.

What This Means for You

As a parent entrepreneur, your time is your most valuable asset. SeaVerse embodies the "one person as a team" philosophy. Need a client demo? Build it in 20 minutes. Want to test a business idea before investing thousands? Create a working prototype this afternoon.

Try This Week: Use SeaVerse to create an interactive tool for your business—maybe a simple calculator for your service pricing, or an interactive guide for your customers. Test the concept before committing to expensive development.

OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health (And It's Actually Useful)

What This Means for You

Managing your family's health information across multiple portals, apps, and paper records is exhausting. ChatGPT Health consolidates everything and helps you prepare better for doctor appointments. As someone who's spent way too much time searching for "that one test result from six months ago," this is a game-changer.

Try This Week: Sign up for the ChatGPT Health waitlist. Start thinking about the health questions you always forget to ask your doctor—this tool will help you organize and prioritize them.

Gmail Just Got Scary Good at Managing Your Inbox

What This Means for You

Email overload is real when you're juggling business and family. AI Inbox surfaces what actually needs your attention, and AI Overviews means you'll never waste time searching for that one important email again. Inbox Zero might actually be achievable now.

Try This Week: Start using AI Overviews to find client communications and important documents. Instead of keyword searching, just ask natural questions. It's already live for US users.

1. Create a Family Adventure Story Together

What You'll Do: Use ChatGPT (free version works fine) to co-write an interactive adventure story where your kids are the heroes.

Why It Works: Your kids get to make real decisions that shape the story. We did this last week and my 8-year-old was completely hooked for 45 minutes.

Time: 20-30 minutes | Ages: 6-14 years old

2. Design Your Dream Bedroom (Then Actually Build Parts of It)

What You'll Do: Use AI image generation to help your kids visualize their dream bedroom, then work together to make small parts of it real.

Have your kids describe their dream bedroom in detail, use Gemini 3 with Nano Banana or ChatGPT with Image 1.5 to generate images, then pick one element you can actually create together—a painted accent wall, a DIY headboard, organized shelving.

Why It Works: It teaches kids that AI is a tool for planning and creativity, not just entertainment. Plus, you get a fun weekend project that actually improves your home.

Time: 15 min planning + 2-4 hours project | Ages: 7-16 years old

3. Make a "Family Recipe Book" with AI-Enhanced Photos

What You'll Do: Document your family's favorite recipes, use AI to enhance the food photos, and create a digital (or printed) family cookbook.

Have each family member pick their favorite recipe, cook it together and take photos, use free AI photo enhancement tools (like Photoleap or Remini) to make them look professional, then use ChatGPT to help write engaging descriptions and family stories.

Why It Works: You're preserving family traditions while teaching kids how AI can enhance (not replace) human creativity and connection. Plus, you'll have a meaningful keepsake.

Time: 1-2 hours over a weekend | Ages: 5-18 years old

The Real Win: These aren't just "AI activities." They're family time that happens to use AI as a tool. That's the whole point of this newsletter—using technology to create more connection, not less.
