đ„Using AI for Planning
The glow of the campfire has always been a place to planâthe next leg of the trip, tomorrowâs meal, or which bottle to crack open when the stars come out. These days, planning doesnât just happen with paper maps and scribbled shopping lists. AI can be a tool in your back pocket, helping you route an RV trip, build a meal plan from whatâs already in your pantry, or even pair the perfect bourbon with your next smoked feast.
Think of it as the friend who always knows a shortcut, remembers the ratios for that bourbon glaze you loved, or suggests a cocktail that perfectly matches the figs you just found at the farmerâs market.
