The article explores how AI tools can help plan summer activities, from fitness routines to reading schedules and even creating custom music. The author tested various AI platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Suno to enhance summer planning, with mixed results. While some tools delivered useful and interactive calendars and maps, others produced underwhelming or comical outputs.

- ▪Claude AI successfully created an interactive reading map with location-based notes to enrich the reading experience.
- ▪The author used AI to manage personal summer goals, highlighting both the potential and limitations of current AI tools.
