How Roku Retirees Are Using AI to Simplify Everyday Life

image-table

Healthcare Provider Update: Roku offers comprehensive health insurance benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage. Employees receive an annual stipend that typically covers the full cost of health insurance premiums, making coverage effectively $0 out-of-pocket for most staff 1. As ACA premiums are projected to rise by 1518% in 2026 and subsidies may expire, Rokus fully subsidized health plans provide a strong financial advantage, shielding employees from the volatility and cost increases expected in the individual marketplace.

'Artificial intelligence is helping many Roku 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.

'Roku 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 Roku 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 Roku 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 Roku’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 Roku 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 Roku 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 Roku, 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.”
