Dealing with official paperwork is something none of us really enjoy. And when it comes to social security or disability benefits in Poland, the documents can be especially confusing. Recently, I had to apply for a support benefit for my father, and honestly, I was completely lost.

The letters and forms from ZUS (the Polish Social Insurance Institution) were written in this complicated, formal language that I couldn’t understand at all. I kept reading and rereading, but it just didn’t make sense to me. What documents did I need? Did my father have to have a disability certificate or an official invalidity group? I had so many questions, but no clear answers.

That’s when I decided to try something new: I asked an AI assistant called Perplexity. I simply typed in my questions like, “How to apply for support benefits for a family member at ZUS?” and “Is a disability certificate necessary for this benefit?”

And you know what? The AI didn’t just give me vague or generic information. It actually found the exact official requirements and explained everything to me in simple, everyday language. It told me what documents I needed to prepare, what forms to fill out, and even clarified whether a disability group classification or certificate was required.

What really impressed me was that it included links to the original official pages so I could double-check everything myself. That transparency made me trust the information completely.

I was honestly shocked by how much easier this made a usually frustrating, stressful process. Instead of wasting hours searching different websites, trying to figure out bureaucratic terms, and guessing what to do next, I got clear, step-by-step guidance within minutes.

This experience made me realize how powerful AI can be for practical, everyday problems—especially for people who might struggle with official language or just don’t have the time to dive deep into government websites.

If you ever find yourself stuck with confusing official documents or procedures, I highly recommend giving AI tools like Perplexity a try. They might just save you a lot of headaches.

In the end, thanks to this AI help, I was able to confidently prepare all the paperwork for my father’s support benefit application. No more guesswork, no more confusion.

It’s a small thing, but for me, it’s a game changer. I’m excited to explore more ways AI can help in real life, beyond just tech or coding.

Have you ever used AI for something practical like this? I’d love to hear your experiences!
