If having a pet is a precursor to having a baby, then it’s too bad that all the innovations that are meant to make the life of a pet parents easier haven’t inspired any similar inventions to help out human parents. Take, for example, the EasyFeed from Gosh, the automatic pet feeder that integrates with Amazon to automatically order more food when you’re running low. It’s just too bad you can’t feed your baby with the push of a button, right?

The EasyFeed is an automatic food and water dispenser that not only lets you ensure that your cat or dog is always properly nourished, but also lets you video chat with your furry friend when you’re not at home. Using the companion app, you can set automatic meal times and portion sizes, and even introduce a new food into your pet’s diet. And best of all, you can do these things no matter where in the world you are. Again, something that you just can’t do when you become responsible for another human being.

EasyFeed also makes pet training a bit easier, as the microphone embedded in the automatic feeder lets you practice commands with Fluffy. If they abide by your demands, you can have the snack dispenser reward your good boy or girl with a treat.

And because you’ll be keeping all your food in the Gosh dispenser, rather than having it take up extra room in your pantry, this smart home appliance will know when your pet’s food supply is running dangerously low, and place an order from Amazon as necessary. Really, it’s like you don’t even have to think about your pet-owner responsibilities.

If you’re looking to make taking care of Fido easier than ever, you can order one of these feeders for the early bird price of $125 on Kickstarter. The estimated delivery date is currently sometime in November, so give yourself (and your pet) a Christmas gift that just keeps on giving.

This smart display alternative can now use AI to plan all your meals

The Skylight Cal Max installed on a wall.

Skylight is a smart home company that produces a variety of smart display alternatives, such as the Skylight Cal Max. These serve as a central hub for all your daily planning -- they’re primarily used as a digital calendar, but you can also use them to track chores, make lists, or meal prep. That last aspect just became much more exciting, as Skylight is officially introducing Sidekick, an AI-powered assistant that can plan all your meals in just a few minutes.

Sidekick is a new AI feature for Skylight devices. It’s capable of generating personalized recipes based on your budget, family size, and dietary restrictions, and it’ll even create a shopping list and load up step-by-step cooking instructions. Skylight hopes the new feature will save families 10 hours every month, as they’ll no longer need to worry about the logistics surrounding meal prep.

The Govee Icicle Lights.

Keen to make your home this holiday season look fantastic? If you’re aiming for a National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation style appearance but want it smarter, you need more than just the Philips Hue deals going on. Right now, you can buy the Govee Icicle Lights set for just $90 at Best Buy so you’re saving $50 off the regular price of $140. They make the outside of your home look gorgeous while being super practical. Here’s all you need to know before you buy.

Why you should buy the Govee Icicle Lights
I love Govee products. Since buying the Govee Lyra Smart Floor Lamp, I’ve been consistently impressed by how well its products work while being very keenly priced. It’s a different kind of technology than the best cheap smart light bulbs but it’s perfect for stringing together some lights around your home or room. The only downside is the company's app isn't as stylish as the Hue one but you get all the same benefits for a much better price.
