Custom merchandise usually starts with a familiar problem: you have the joke, reunion slogan, team idea, pet portrait concept, or small-business phrase, but you do not want to open Photoshop, hire a designer, upload artwork, check print specs, and manage fulfillment.

Here’s a Cool Tip: Create Custom Merch With Alexa.

Alexa for Shopping now includes an AI-powered custom merch design feature that lets customers describe an idea, generate a design, edit it with suggestions or typed changes, share it, and order the finished item through Amazon’s Merch on Demand print-on-demand system.

The feature works in the Amazon Shopping app and on Amazon.com, and Amazon handles production and Prime-eligible delivery.

We have all been there. 

You open YouTube looking for something specific, like a quick coding tutorial or a ten-minute yoga session, but the algorithm keeps pushing the same three viral clips you have already seen. 

It feels like you are fighting the platform just to find what you actually want to watch.

Here’s a Cool Tip: Use the "Your custom feed" Feature to Build a Custom Video Feed.

YouTube is finally giving you the keys to the engine. Instead of waiting for the "Up Next" logic to guess your mood, you can now dictate exactly what kind of environment you want to browse in. 

Whether you need a deep dive into market trends or a quiet space for white noise, you can build it on demand.

You’re driving and a question hits you: what's the best route around traffic? 

Maybe you need a quick fact for the kids in the back, or a fast research angle for work. 

Reaching for your phone is not an option.

Here’s a Cool Tip: Add Grok to your Apple CarPlay screen for Hands-Free Conversations.

Apple opened CarPlay to third-party voice AI apps starting with iOS 26.4, and xAI added Grok to the list in May 2026.

Find Files Faster: Windows 11 Search Finally Gets Smarter

Find Files Faster: Windows 11 Search Finally Gets Smarter

Windows 11 Search has long been a frustration point, but the June 2026 update addresses some of its biggest weaknesses. These changes make finding files faster, easier, and far less dependent on typing the exact file name.

You know the routine. 

You open Search, type part of a file name, and nothing appears. 

So you type more. 

Then more. 

At some point, it is faster to open File Explorer and hunt manually.

Here’s a Cool Tip: Find files faster with fewer keystrokes

Microsoft finally seems to be fixing that experience.

The June 2026 Windows 11 update introduces meaningful improvements to Search performance and accuracy. 

The changes are subtle, but they show up quickly in everyday use.

Forum Puts Facebook Groups in One Focused Feed

Forum Puts Facebook Groups in One Focused Feed

Meta’s new Forum app gives Facebook Groups a separate home, so group conversations do not have to compete with friends, videos, Pages, and other Facebook feed distractions. It is especially useful for people who rely on Groups for advice, hobbies, local tips, travel planning, support communities, and niche discussions.

Facebook Groups can be useful, but finding the good stuff often feels harder than it should.

A local recommendation gets buried. 

A travel question disappears under birthday posts. 

A hobby group answer is mixed into a feed that was never really designed for focused research.

Here's a Cool Tip: Use Forum to Focus Your Facebook Groups.

Meta’s new Forum app tries to fix that by pulling Facebook Groups into a separate, discussion-first experience. 

Instead of opening Facebook and hoping the algorithm shows the right group post, Forum gives Groups their own dedicated app and feed.

Let Copilot Build Better PowerPoint Decks

Let Copilot Build Better PowerPoint Decks

Microsoft PowerPoint’s Copilot Agent features can help you turn a prompt into a polished presentation, then refine slides, visuals, tone, and structure without starting over. The real trick is knowing where the feature appears, who can access it, and how to guide it with better prompts.

A blank PowerPoint deck can still stop a smart person cold.

You know the topic. 

You know the audience. 

You may even have the data. 

But turning that into a clean, well-structured presentation takes time, judgment, and more slide cleanup than anyone wants to admit.

Here's a Cool Tip:  Microsoft PowerPoint Copilot Agent.

Microsoft is trying to reduce AI friction with Copilot in PowerPoint. 

The feature has appeared in Microsoft documentation under names such as **Agent Mode** and **Edit with Copilot**, but the direction is clear. 

Copilot is becoming more than a chat helper. It can help create, revise, reorganize, summarize, and improve presentations inside PowerPoint.

That does not mean you should let AI deliver your final deck. 

It means you can use Copilot to get past the blank page, build a stronger first draft, and spend your time improving the message instead of wrestling with slide structure.

Find ChatGPT Files Faster With Library

Find ChatGPT Files Faster With Library

ChatGPT’s Library gives uploaded and generated files a central home, so you do not have to dig through old chats to reuse a document, image, spreadsheet, PDF, or presentation. It is especially useful for anyone who uses ChatGPT as a daily workspace rather than a one-off chatbot.

If you use ChatGPT for real work, your files can pile up fast. 

A spreadsheet here. 

A PDF there. 

Before long, the file you need is trapped somewhere inside a chat you barely remember.

Here’s a Cool Tip: Use Library as Your ChatGPT File Cabinet.

ChatGPT’s improved Library feature is designed to fix that problem. 

Files you upload to ChatGPT and files you create in ChatGPT are now saved to Library, where you can find and reuse them later. 

One important exception: files uploaded in Temporary Chats are not saved to Library.

The feature is currently available on the web, and OpenAI now says Library is available to Free, Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users, including users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. 

Storage varies by plan, starting at 500 MB for Free users.
