In recent years, Tet celebrations for many young families are no longer confined to fixed patterns. Instead of repeating familiar decoration or cooking methods, users are turning to AI tools like Google Gemini for fresh ideas that align with their personal aesthetics and lifestyles.

For living rooms, where family and friends are welcomed at the start of the year, AI can be a valuable reference. Users can photograph their current room, specify desired color schemes, themes, or decorative items, and the system will provide various suggestions. Adding details like room size, light direction, or personal preferences helps tailor proposals to reality, moving beyond generic decoration templates.

Hoang Anh, a manager in Ho Chi Minh City, used this feature on her Galaxy Z Fold7 to decorate her home in late December, in time for New Year's Day, and plans to use it for Lunar New Year as well. She desired a room with warm colors like red and yellow, believing them to be "auspicious". She provided Gemini Live with her requirements, including existing items, and asked AI to suggest decoration options costing no more than 5 million VND.

Gemini Live then rendered a simulated space according to her wishes, along with suggestions for decorative items like LED lights and lanterns, including estimated prices.

According to Hoang Anh, the advantage of using Gemini on a large-screen device like the Galaxy Z Fold7 is the ability to view suggested options in detail. She could compare, adjust, and visualize them more clearly before applying them to her living space, thus creating a Tet living room that felt both fresh and comfortably familiar.

Beyond home decoration, Tet feasts are also being "refreshed" with a healthier approach. The health-conscious eating trend leads many families to adapt traditional dishes to an "eat clean" style, reducing oil and processed spices. In this context, AI serves as a repository of suggestions, from ingredient changes to cooking methods suitable for nutritional needs.

Minh Ngoc, a homemaker in Ho Chi Minh City, has also used this feature in recent months to create lower-calorie dishes suitable for weight management.

She mentioned trying Gemini Live for banh chung recipes. AI suggested options like brown rice instead of white sticky rice, lean pork, chicken breast, or salmon instead of fatty pork, combined with natural spices like pepper and pink salt to retain traditional flavors in a lighter form. When using the direct interaction mode, the AI assistant can monitor the cooking process and provide step-by-step instructions, helping cooks easily adjust dishes as desired.

This approach suits families with specific dietary requirements, older adults, or young people interested in nutrition. "Tet is therefore no longer a one-size-fits-all choice, but a flexible experience tailored to each individual", Minh Ngoc stated.

The emergence of AI tools in daily life is gradually transforming how young people celebrate Tet. Instead of abandoning tradition, technology helps them approach Tet differently: preserving its core spirit while expanding creative space for each family to have its own unique Tet experience.
