Today in AI Monster Land
From Monster Letter #1 · Fri, Oct 23, 2026
Great day in AI Monster Land! Start with a chilly little giggle, then turn a photo of your fridge into tonight's dinner and see what Meta's Muse helper is up to. Scroll on down!
Why did the AI ask the fridge for advice?
Because the fridge always keeps its cool! 😂
Take a photo of what's in your fridge, give it to ChatGPT, Grok or Gemini, and ask: “What can I cook tonight with this?” You'll get a few ideas plus easy steps.
Want more? Show me how →Nervous about a text or email? Paste it in and say: “Make this kinder and shorter, but keep my point.” Read it, tweak it, send it.
Want more? Show me how →Snap a photo of a confusing bill, letter or form (cover any account numbers first) and ask: “Explain this simply. Do I need to do anything?”

Muse is Meta's free “do it for me” app (US only for now) that can sort your email, set reminders and run errands, and it asks before it sends or buys anything. Meta says a smarter brain is coming to it soon, paid users first.
Read it at Meta →Planning a surprise party or asking something personal? Lock that chat with a PIN or Face ID before you hand your phone to the grandkids. It works on the free plan too and is rolling out now.
Read it at TechCrunch →If your car uses Android Auto, you can now say things like “What's my flight gate?” or “Take me to my doctor's appointment” and Gemini finds the answer in your Gmail or Calendar, hands-free (only if you turn that on).
Read it at Google →That's it for today. Try one tip, then hit reply and tell us how it went. We read every one!

The whole monster buffet
All you can eat, and it's all free. Grab a plate:
Meet Lewis & Martin
Lewis
Teal, one big eye, a face full of freckles. He gets excited about everything and asks all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Martin
Purple, three eyes, a bunch of spots. He's the cool one. He already found the shortcut and he's happy to share it.
Why we made this
Schools mostly don't teach AI yet, and a lot of families have never really tried it. Some people are even a little scared of it. We get it.
AI for Monsters is here to show how easy, helpful and honestly kind of wonderful AI can be, one small lesson at a time. It's free, because everybody should get to learn this.
