Many people are juggling work, caregiving, school, and household responsibilities with very little time or support. OpenAI Academy and Goodwill Keystone are partnering to explore how AI can ease that load and create more time for rest, planning, and opportunity at home.
OpenAI Academy’s mission is to help people use AI to solve hard, real‑world problems and open up new paths for learning and economic mobility. Goodwill Keystone brings deep experience working with job seekers and families who are balancing tight budgets, family obligations, and complex life transitions.
This training, AI at Home, is a practical session that shows how ChatGPT can support everyday tasks like weekly planning, meal prep, school communication, self‑care, home projects, and understanding confusing paperwork.
