The Most Powerful Use of AI We've Seen Yet

We often talk about AI as a tool to make life more efficient—helping with emails, saving time on work, automating tasks. But sometimes, AI does something bigger. Something deeply human.

Meet April Kerner, a 40-year-old mother of three from Texas.

Not long ago, April was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), a progressive neurological disorder that slowly took away her ability to speak. Imagine losing your voice—your ability to say “I love you” to your children, to tell your story, to simply order a coffee.

But here’s where it gets incredible.

April had previously banked a sample of her voice—just in case. And recently, an AI-powered system recreated her voice from that sample using voice-cloning technology. Today, she communicates using an app that speaks for her, in her own voice, not a robotic one.

Her children didn’t just hear her speak—they heard their mom. The warmth. The familiarity. The humanity.

It wasn’t a sci-fi movie. It was AI, used not for clicks or code, but to give someone back a part of who they are.

April’s story is a powerful reminder: AI isn’t just for automating tasks. When used with intention, it can restore dignity, connection, and identity.

💡 Life Hack of the Week: Voice Banking with AI

If you or someone you love is at risk of voice loss due to illness (or even just wants to preserve their voice as a memory or legacy), you can "bank your voice" today using free or low-cost tools.

Here’s how to start:

• Try: The best tool for cloning your voice is ElevenLabs

• Record: You can clone your voice in only 2 minutes

• Use: These voices can be integrated into communication devices or apps later on

It’s one of those things you’ll be glad you did—even if you never need it.

🔊 Bonus Tip: Use AI to Create a “Future Message” for Loved Ones

Imagine leaving your kids (or future grandkids) a message in your own voice, with your own tone and personality—even years from now.

Use ElevenLabs to clone your voice and generate audio messages that feel personal and real.

Use it to:

• Record a birthday message for a child to hear every year

• Tell the story of how you met your partner

• Share life advice or a family memory

• Even create a “time capsule” of your voice for your future self

It’s a small way to turn AI into something deeply meaningful—and maybe even timeless.
