Full Summary

This Sunday morning, both The South India Times and Moneycontrol.com report that ChatGPT is now revolutionizing presentation creation, allowing users to generate professional PowerPoint slides in minutes. This new feature, also confirmed by Inshorts and Yahoo Tech, automatically creates content, structure, and design ideas. Users simply enter a topic and requirements, and the AI drafts entire presentations, suggests headings, summaries, and visual ideas, saving hours on manual design. OpenAI's Codex is also seeing rapid updates, with KuCoin noting new plugins, built-in browsers, and mobile access rolled out almost daily. Tech Times adds that Codex has transformed into a desktop agent, controlling Mac applications, running multiple background tasks, and supporting over 90 new plugins, including for Jira and Microsoft Suite. In other developments, Stuff South Africa reveals that US ChatGPT Pro subscribers can now link bank accounts for financial advice through a new "Finances" tab, facilitated by Plaid. Dailyhunt reports that ChatGPT Plugins have launched globally, turning the AI into a universal digital assistant, connecting with services like Expedia for travel booking and Zapier for productivity automation. Meanwhile, Google is overhauling its search, a defensive move as people ask longer, harder questions, financial-world.org states. The search giant is generating custom visuals and mini-apps directly in results, with AI Mode queries now three times longer than regular searches. This means AI tools are becoming deeply integrated into daily tasks, from office work to financial management and how you search for information, potentially changing how you spend your time and interact with digital services.
