One Way Steel Mesh to Protect Against Outside Intruders and Help You Escape From the Inside
Why?
On one hand, you would like the have protection against intruders. On the other hand, you don’t want to get stuck inside in a case you need to escape (for instance in case a fire breaks out.)
How?
Build a mesh from steel of small “joints” that only allow movement of this joint in on direction. A window could have such a mesh installed, and since the flexibility is only in the out direction, intruders could not go in because, from the outside, it would be stiff as steel. You would also need to build sensors into these joints to monitor contact. When you trough yourself at this mesh from the inside, these sensors will register the contact, and if enough of them register that (meaning there is a significant mass leaning on the mesh from the inside), a release mechanism will activate and allow you to escape. You could also build into the wall a slow cable release that – in case you are in a high building – would slowly descend you to the ground inside this mesh, helping you escape.

Cooking AI Helper Bot
Why?
You would like to cook something and need help, something more than just browsing cookbooks and the internet.
How?
Have an AI bot on any of the platforms (Facebook, iMessage, or even a separate app), that can take your inquiries, understand them and give you some advice or if needed ask more guiding questions. You might write: I would like to grill a chicken quickly in an Indian style. The bot would ask more questions until they can give you a recommendation, and even then you can continue with more requests for information, questions, etc., until you finish cooking.

Help Your Mind Be More Creative
Why?
If you want to solve a problem, being more creative can help.

Help Kick the Snacking Habit
Why?
You know it’s not good for you, but it’s hard to break the habit. Many times you might not even notice you are doing it, getting up and going to the cupboard.
How?
Have “beacons” that you can stick in or near the places you go to when you want a snack. Every time you approach any of these “beaconed” places your smartphone will alert you not to do it. You might even record a personal message that plays at that point. You can also have multiple messages, each one playing when you approach the “beacon” associated with it.
