Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in a variety of fields these days, and while Chat GPT and Google Gemini may be well-known, another generative AI tool is helping families with children on the autism spectrum. doing.
Goblin Tools is a website and smartphone app that helps parents, children, and young people feel overwhelmed with chores and projects. It’s easy for parents to tell their kids to “clean their room,” but for people whose brains process information differently, even simple chores can raise more questions than answers.
You may need more direct instructions on what steps you need to complete. Goblin Tools breaks down chores and projects into step-by-step instructions for anyone who needs more guidance. Something like, “Please clean your room.”
Parents simply enter it into Goblin’s Magic ToDo tool and tap the checklist button. The goblin makes a list of things that must be done to clean the room. Items include “pick up clothes and put them in a basket,” “organize loose items in trash cans or drawers,” and “make the bed.” Perhaps you’ll find how easily these instructions can help those who get distracted or overwhelmed. A child or young person can mark a step as ‘completed’ after completing a task. If you need to break down the task further, just tap the button again.
There are apps for iPhone and Android. If your child has a computer or Kindle Fire tablet, they can use the Goblin Tools website to review the steps and mark them as complete. It’s not just for people on the spectrum.
I found this helpful for first-timers and people who get easily distracted. Just put everything together to prepare your taxes, enter it into the Magic ToDo tool, and it will create a list of everything you need. Need to change your car’s oil? Want to create a YouTube video or blog post? Just enter your project into the Magic ToDo tool and it’ll tell you what you need to do.
There are other Goblin tools in the app. If you want to send a message or email to someone, enter it into “The Judge” to detect the tone. Formalizers take paragraphs, make them more professional or more casual, and check for spelling mistakes. You could spend a week detailing everything you can do with Goblin tools. Only 99 cents in the app store goes towards funding development. The website is free to use. This is a game-changer for families with neurodivergent children and adults. www.goblin.tools www.whatthetech.tv
