From Screen Time to Family Time — Week of 2026-05-22

It's a big week for AI tools that actually run your business in the background. Notion is making a serious move into AI agents, which means your project workspace could soon be doing work for you, not just storing it. The broader trend is clear: AI isn't just answering questions anymore, it's taking actions. ## What You Need to Know Notion's new AI agent hub is worth paying attention to if you're already using Notion to manage your business. The shift here isn't cosmetic. Notion is letting AI agents live inside your workspace and complete tasks autonomously, things like updating databases, drafting follow-ups, or moving projects forward without you clicking through every step. If you're a solopreneur juggling ten things, that's not a small deal. It's basically hiring a part-time assistant who already knows where everything lives in your system. ## Quick Reads - [Notion just turned its workspace into a hub for AI agents](https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/13/notion-just-turned-its-workspace-into-a-hub-for-ai-agents/) — If you're already in Notion, this is the upgrade you didn't know you were waiting for. - [Hightouch reaches $100M ARR fueled by marketing tools powered by AI](https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/hightouch-reaches-100m-arr-fueled-by-marketing-tools-powered-by-ai/) — AI-powered marketing personalization is no longer just for enterprise budgets, and Hightouch's growth proves the demand is real. ## This Week's Tip Open Notion and create a new page called "Weekly Ops Checklist." List your five most repeated weekly tasks, things like sending client updates, logging revenue, or checking inventory. Then turn on Notion AI for that page and type: "Help me automate or simplify each of these tasks using Notion's AI features." It'll surface what's already possible inside your workspace right now. You'll likely find at least one task you can hand off immediately. ## AI Activity with the Family This week, try this with your kids: open up ChatGPT (free version works fine) and tell your kids that AI can now take on "jobs" inside apps, not just answer questions. Ask them to pick a boring household chore, something like sorting the recycling or planning the weekly dinner menu. Then have each person type a prompt asking ChatGPT to create a step-by-step plan to do that chore as efficiently as possible. Compare everyone's results and talk about which plan was most useful and why. They'll start to understand that AI isn't magic, it's a tool that gets better when you give it clear instructions.
