Artificial Intelligence, the new daily ally of PCs and smartphones

Since the advent of Chat-GPT, but also Alexa and the Google Assistant in connected speakers, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our daily interactions with technology, making our devices more intuitive and effective.

Three notable examples of this revolution are Copilot+ PC, Microsoft’s AI tool integrated into computers like Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7x QC, sold for 1,599 euros at Fnac with 16 GB of RAM, Google’s Pixel 8a smartphone, which places the AI at the heart of its features, or the Galaxy S24+ with Samsung’s AI. In addition, Fnac+ members can benefit from a gift card worth 10% of the value of certain selected products, such as those below.

Copilot, Microsoft’s brilliant AI

Based on Chat-GPT 4, Microsoft Copilot+ is designed to assist users with various tasks on their computers. Integrated into applications such as Word, Excel and Outlook, Copilot+ uses advanced AI algorithms to offer contextual suggestions, automate repetitive tasks and improve productivity.

For example, in Word, Copilot+ can help with writing by suggesting complete sentences and offering grammatical and stylistic corrections in real time. It can also summarize long documents, allowing users to quickly understand key points without having to read the entire text. This feature is especially useful for students and professionals who need to process large amounts of information in a short period of time.

In Excel, Copilot+ can automate the analysis of complex data, create insightful charts and identify trends without requiring in-depth statistical skills. In Outlook, AI can sort and organize emails, offer automatic replies based on the content of received messages, and schedule meetings based on participant availability. This significantly reduces the time spent managing emails and increases the efficiency of business communications.

AI improves your photos and edits

AI is also in your pocket with your phone. Google’s Pixel 8a is perhaps the best example of how AI can improve your smartphone usage. The Pixel 8a camera is equipped with advanced AI software that significantly improves photo quality. Image processing algorithms can automatically adjust brightness, contrast and colors to achieve perfect photos, even in low light conditions.

Additionally, the functionality of Magic Eraser makes it easy to remove unwanted elements from photos, making editing quick and accessible to everyone. Simply circle an object or subject with your finger, and it disappears from the photo.

The Pixel 8 features Google Assistant, a powerful voice assistant that can perform a multitude of tasks using voice command alone. Whether sending messages, making calls, setting reminders, or controlling smart home devices, Google Assistant makes managing everyday tasks simple. Additionally, thanks to AI, it learns from the user’s habits and preferences, offering increasingly relevant suggestions over time.

Real-time translation? It’s possible !

Finally, one of the most impressive features of the Pixel 8a is its instant translation capability using Google Translate. AI can translate conversations in real time, making it easier to communicate in foreign languages. A few days before the summer holidays, this functionality is particularly useful for travelers but also professionals traveling abroad.
