4 new AI tools worth trying
AI NEWS
OpenAI is adding a dedicated Health tab inside ChatGPT, letting users securely connect medical records and wellness apps for more personalized, context-aware health guidance.
Users can link data from Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and electronic medical records
Focus is on explaining trends, preparing for doctor visits, fitness & nutrition planning, and insurance decisions
Health data is siloed from other chats, with clear controls to view or delete health “memories”
Initial rollout starts with a small test group, expanding soon to web and iOS
Health is already one of ChatGPT’s most common use cases, with 40M+ people using it daily for medical and insurance questions. By turning fragmented health data into understandable guidance, without replacing doctors, OpenAI could quietly become the default interface for navigating modern healthcare. The upside is enormous, but trust and privacy will decide how far this goes.
AI & WORK
Microsoft is rumored to be planning another major round of job cuts in January 2026, potentially impacting 5–10% of its global workforce as AI investment ramps up.
Estimated 11,000–22,000 roles at risk, focused on Azure, Xbox, and global sales
AI capex is exploding: $34.9B in Q1 FY26, with $80B+ expected this year
Spending is shifting from payroll to data centers, chips, and AI infrastructure
Stricter return-to-office rules may quietly accelerate attrition
This is a clear signal of how aggressively Big Tech is reallocating resources toward AI. Even with strong profits, Microsoft appears willing to trade headcount for compute, reinforcing that in the AI era, infrastructure scales faster than teams.
AI NEWS
Ford announced a new AI-powered voice assistant launching later this year, with hands-free, eyes-off Level 3 driving planned for 2028 as part of its upcoming Universal EV platform.
AI voice assistant launches on Ford & Lincoln apps in 2026, expanding in-car in 2027
Assistant is LLM-agnostic, with Gemini integration but access to deep vehicle-specific data
Level 3 autonomous driving arrives in 2028, following a point-to-point hands-free system
New in-house compute is ~30% cheaper and 44% smaller than Ford’s current system
Ford is carving out a middle path between Tesla-style AI maximalism and off-the-shelf software. By building its own “vehicle brain”, optimized for cost, size, and real-world use, Ford is betting that practical, affordable AI will win over flashy demos.
HOW TO AI
🗂️ How to Create Professional Presentations in Seconds Using AI
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use a new AI presentation tool that can generate complete, professional slide decks in seconds.
🧰 Who is This For
Creators who want clean, high-quality presentations without design work
Founders and marketers who need pitch decks fast
Students and educators who want polished slides from simple topics
Anyone tired of templates, stock photos, and manual slide design
STEP 1: Choose How You Want to Create
Start by opening aippt.com in your browser and logging in. You’ll arrive at a clean dashboard with multiple ways to begin your presentation.
You can create slides from a topic, a document, pasted text, or even a website URL. For this walkthrough, select Create from Topic, which is the fastest way to get started.
Look for the yellow “Nano Banana Ready” badge, this confirms that the advanced AI image and layout engine is active.
STEP 2: Enter Your Topic and Settings
Next, type your presentation topic into the text box. For example:
“Introduction to Python programming for beginners.”
Before moving on, make sure the Nano Banana mode tab is selected in the top-right corner of the input box. This ensures the AI generates custom visuals instead of generic slides.
You can also fine-tune a few options below, such as the number of slides or the tone (professional, casual, or fun). When everything looks good, click the arrow button to continue.
STEP 3: Select a Designer Template
The AI will automatically create a structured outline for your presentation. Now it’s time to choose the overall look and feel.
On the template selection screen, you’ll see a range of designer-made styles like “Simple Pastel,” “Digital Learning,” or “Carbon-Free Cities.” These aren’t basic AI layout, they’re professionally designed themes.
Pick the style you like, then click Generate PPT to build the full presentation.
STEP 4: Edit, Regenerate, and Download
Within moments, your complete slide deck will be ready. You can scroll through the slide previews to see how the AI created headings, bullet points, diagrams, and visuals for each section.
If you don’t like an image, simply click on it to swap or regenerate it instantly, no searching, no stock photos. You can tweak text, layouts, or visuals directly inside the editor.
Once you’re satisfied, click the Download button in the bottom-right corner to export your presentation and use it anywhere.
