How Meta Retirees Are Using AI to Simplify Everyday Life

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Meta Meta, which operates various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, provides health benefits to its employees through a partnership with UnitedHealthcare. This collaboration ensures that Meta's workforce has access to a comprehensive range of medical services, including preventive care and wellness programs. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we approach 2026, healthcare costs are anticipated to surge significantly, primarily due to unprecedented hikes in Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums. Certain states are projected to see increases exceeding 60%, a trend driven by rising medical costs and the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies. The Kaiser Family Foundation warns that without Congressional action, the majority of ACA marketplace enrollees could face out-of-pocket premium hikes of over 75%, further straining household budgets. As insurers cite inflated claims and operational costs, employers and consumers alike must prepare for these dramatic financial shifts in the healthcare landscape. Click here to learn more

'Artificial intelligence is helping many Meta employees simplify their transition into retirement by organizing finances and daily routines, but the key is to use these tools as support—not substitution—for thoughtful planning and professional guidance.' — Paul Bergeron, a representative of The Retirement Group, a division of Wealth Enhancement.

'Meta employees are finding that AI can streamline everything from budgeting to wellness, but lasting success in retirement comes from combining technology’s efficiency with informed financial decision-making.' — Tyson Mavar, a representative of The Retirement Group, a division of Wealth Enhancement.

In this article, we will discuss:

  1. How artificial intelligence (AI) is helping Meta retirees simplify daily life and handle complex tasks.

  2. The ways AI can enhance health, home, and financial organization in retirement.

  3. Why retirees are increasingly confident using AI to boost efficiency and reclaim valuable time.

Many Meta retirees are discovering that slowing down isn’t always easy, despite looking for respite from decades of early mornings, complex undertakings, and global operations. Handling investments, planning vacations, and staying organized can still feel demanding during retirement.

That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) has stepped in. What once seemed futuristic is now a practical tool for Meta’s retired professionals who want to streamline routines and reclaim valuable time.

According to Wealth Enhancement financial planner Kevin Won, CFP®, AWMA®, CRPC®, “we’re seeing older adults experimenting with AI tools for efficiency. They understand that these tools can help them reclaim time, which is one of life’s most precious resources.”

Simplifying Complex Tasks

While still in the workforce, AI is helping Meta employees transform their daily workflow. Tasks that once took hours—such as reviewing financial reports or tracking industry or market data—now take minutes with the help of AI assistants that can summarize data, highlight key performance trends, and draft personal reports.

Others are using AI to enhance their personal lives. For instance, with an AI-powered trip planner, it's possible to enter your preferred travel destinations, dates, and hobbies, and have the chatbot design an itinerary for you complete with dining, sightseeing, and activity suggestions.

The same is true after retirement. “The retirees I work with value how AI brings order and clarity,” Won adds. “Whether it’s comparing health care options or managing monthly expenses, these tools can handle the heavy lifting so retirees can focus on other areas of their lives.”

Improving Health and Home Management

Many former Meta professionals are also turning to AI for personal wellness and home organization. Some use chatbots for home maintenance guidance, while others leverage AI to build custom workout plans that adapt to travel schedules or physical limitations. These tools help retirees maintain consistency without needing advanced tech skills or expensive memberships.

According to Won, “AI can give older adults autonomy. They don’t need to wait for instruction or assistance. Technology enables them to take the lead in their daily lives, including finances and health care choices.”

A Modern Assistant for Financial Confidence

Retirees can also use AI to help arrange their financial information before meetings with advisors. From summarizing financial articles to preparing questions, AI helps retirees save time while staying informed. Some even use it as a digital filing assistant, categorizing tax documents, receipts, and travel logs for the upcoming year.

Won cautions, however, that “AI should be viewed as guidance, not a promise. It’s a powerful assistant, but it can still make errors—especially on topics like health or finance—so always double-check important information.”

From Skepticism to Confidence

While some retirees were initially hesitant to adopt AI, many have now incorporated it into their routines. Surveys show that, while older generations are slower to adopt new technologies, comfort and usage are steadily rising.¹

Won explains, “Retirees who’ve spent decades adapting to innovation in corporate environments, like Meta, already have the resilience and mindset needed to learn new tools. Now, AI works for them—reducing complexity, not adding to it.”

A Smart Way to Simplify Retirement

For many retirees, using AI is about boosting productivity, not just curiosity. Automating travel planning, organizing budgets, and reducing decision fatigue can make retirement more manageable and less stressful.

According to Won, “you’re really adding peace of mind when you integrate smart tools into daily life. The goal isn’t to master the technology. It’s to let it operate behind the scenes so you can focus on what matters most.”
