Unknown number calling? Let your phone answer it first. iPhone: Settings, Apps, Phone, Ask Reason for Calling. Pixel: tap Screen call and read a live transcript. Then pick up or hang up. #AItools https://t.co/Cm7ZVXEozI

See something on your Android screen you don't get? Touch and hold Home or the nav handle, then circle it. Results stay at the bottom — no app switch. Translate and music ID live there too. #AItools https://t.co/gr67iH6dk9

Stuck on hold? Let your phone wait for you. iPhone: tap More, then Hold Assist. Pixel: tap Hold for Me, then Start. You get an alert when a real person picks up. Keep your ringer on. #AItools https://t.co/iJvbixsceV

[Ortygon @ortygon]

Can't speak their language? Your phone can translate the call live. iPhone: tap More, then Live Translation. Pixel and Galaxy: tap Call Assist, then Live Translate. Check your model first. #AItools https://t.co/yRBfJeFDTV

Gemini can now use your notebooks inside a chat.

Just ask it: "Add this chat to my notebook about my trip." or "What do my notebooks say about my exam?"

Personal accounts too, rolling out gradually. Off by default in the EEA: Settings > Connected Apps.

Can't find that one photo? Search for what's in it. Google Photos: tap Search, type "sunset" or "dog", or put a shop name in quotes to find receipts. iPhone Photos: tap Search, try a place or a month. #AItools https://t.co/HOO0IypoDj

Quick tip: Game night and nobody wants to read the rulebook?

Snap the rules pages and ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude: "Explain how to play in 5 simple steps, then tell us what to do on turn 1."

Ask follow-ups mid-game. If an answer sounds off, check the rulebook.

No subtitles? Your phone can caption it live. Android: volume button, More, Live Caption. iPhone: Settings, Accessibility, Live Captions. #AItools https://t.co/eJWh5Mr9CN

[Ortygon @ortygon]

Gemini can now use your Google Maps searches and saved places, plus your Calendar, to suggest spots for your day.

Try: "Which saved restaurant is best near my last meeting today?"

Quick tip: Stuck on a birthday gift idea?

Tell ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude who it's for, 3 things they love and your budget. Ask for 10 ideas, then say "make them less obvious."

Pick one you like and check reviews before you buy.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@woestyn_wolf Ha, same here. No such thing as a dumb question for an AI, it never judges. Bonus: ask it to explain it like you're new to the topic, then follow up as many times as you like.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@erojasar Love the one-person, one-task idea. Small and specific beats a big rollout. Asking them to share one thing the tool saved them time on can help others see how to use it too.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@DrEliotX Great tip. Another trick: ask the AI to explain why each wrong answer is tempting. That makes the quiz double as a mini lesson, and it's a handy way to spot weak explanations before students do.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@Neldiamond2025 Depends on the job! Gemini is handy if you live in Google apps, ChatGPT is a solid all-rounder for writing and brainstorming. Try the same real task in both and keep whichever answer you'd actually use.

Something ruining your photo? Google Photos: open it, tap Edit, find Magic Eraser, circle it, tap Erase. iPhone with Apple Intelligence: Photos, Edit, Tools, Clean Up. #AItools https://t.co/ZPcMuRvsEJ

@vladasanadev Wild that you can edit video with just words. Do you still need to review it frame by frame? Curious how well it holds up on longer clips, since AI tools tend to be great on short demos and shakier on long ones.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@mpsmyth71 Love the 'make a copy first' step. The spot-check is worth it too, because AI can quietly change formatting or merge the wrong rows. The change log tab makes it easy to undo anything that looks off.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@HollerLaur54039 Good advice. A nice first step for busy moms: ask ChatGPT or Gemini to turn a week of dinners into a grocery list, or to draft a polite note to a teacher. Low stakes, quick wins, and you can edit anything it writes.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

@AIndex_me For me it's NotebookLM: drop in a long PDF or meeting notes and ask for a summary with the key decisions. It cuts reading time a lot. Perplexity for quick research comes second. Always skim the sources for anything important.

[Ortygon @ortygon]

Gemini on Android Auto can now use your Gmail, Calendar and Photos to answer questions about your own plans, hands-free.

Try: "When's my next appointment?" on the drive.

Opt-in, personal accounts 18+. Not in the EEA, UK, Switzerland or Nigeria yet.
