Online shopping can be challenging. With seemingly endless choices and product reviews that may be less than trustworthy, it can be tough to make confident decisions, especially for high-ticket items. Can AI help? Microsoft says that its goal is to bring more joy to shopping—and to help consumers make more knowledgeable decisions. According to the company, Microsoft Edge has offered $3.7 billion in savings to shoppers worldwide in the last year thanks to built-in shopping features like Coupons, Cashback, Price History, and Price Comparison. In addition, Microsoft estimates that U.S. shoppers can save an average of $400 per year with Microsoft Edge.
At the end of June, Microsoft announced new Microsoft Shopping tools in Bing and Edge that help consumers shop and save with confidence; the power of AI can now make it easier to find, research, and complete your purchase. This happens all in one place, with information from expert sources. This process is especially helpful when you don’t know exactly what you are looking for.
For example, what does your college bound student need to start school? Just ask Bing. If you type “college supplies” into the search box, using AI, Microsoft’s Shopping Assistant will instantly come up with a buying guide. This buying guide (which does not favor Microsoft products), will tell you what to look for in multiple categories, ranging from laptops to backpacks to mini fridges. Your Shopping Assistant will supply product suggestions, and show the specs on multiple, similar items. These will all appear in a “smart compare table,” so you can quickly compare options without having to click around endless, different websites.
A search might suggest noise-canceling headphones. How do you choose? Prices range from $30 to $300, and each brand has different specs and conflicting reviews. Consumers can then open Bing Chat in the Edge sidebar and Bing will suggest key considerations such as sound quality, fit and device compatibility. After you find a pair that you like, Bing Chat can be used to summarize key review points from multiple sources called “Review Summaries.”
Bing will also reveal the best price available. Edge helps you automatically apply coupons and cashback when shopping online, right from Bing Chat. Package Tracking also keeps tabs on your purchase from the Edge sidebar, so you don’t have to dig through your inbox for shipping confirmations and tracking numbers. Microsoft’s “Price Match” feature continues to work even after you make a purchase. This tool will be rolling out in the Fall and will monitor your purchase and has integrated retailers’ price match policies to help you to request a price match if you are eligible. If you are, the tool will automatically

In the picturesque town of Chessy, under 20 miles east of the center of the French capital, is Disneyland Paris. The park has two main areas: Disneyland Park, where classic Disney characters come to life over 40 attractions divided into five thematic areas; and Walt Disney Studios, a tribute to movie magic and behind-the-scenes sneak peeks. Although it’s only a 40 minute train ride from the Paris, if you’re traveling with kids, or if you’re a big kid yourself and want to have an immersive Disney experience, opting for accommodation nearby means less travel time and more Disney magic. There’s a great selection of Airbnb Disneyland Paris properties minutes from the park’s gates. They offer a comfortable home from home, where you can unwind after a thrilling day. And as Disney can make for an expensive vacation, you cook your meals in a fully equipped kitchen, saving you a significant amount on dining expenses. These are some of the top Airbnbs from well-equipped apartments to family-friendly homes.

The ‘90s were a time of all work and no play—at least, that’s how it looked in the movies. Films like Glengarry Glen Ross and The Associate (led by one Whoopi Goldberg) illustrated the strictly business nature of the time. But in the sea of suits and briefcases came 1998's How Stella Got Her Groove Back, which gave permission for people—but especially Black women—to take a break. Angela Bassett starred as Stella Payne, an uptight, divorced stock broker in dire need of an escape from her daily routine and stagnant love life. Encouraged by her free-spirited friend Delilah (one Whoopi Goldberg), the two booked a vacation in paradise: at the five-star Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Montego Bay, Jamaica. While Stella first inspired Black women 25 years ago, her story reverberates to this day.
