Google Docs to use AI to make sure your documents are grammatically correct

Google wants to make sure the documents you type out on its Docs app are as grammatically correct as possible. One of the new updates coming to G Suite users that are part of its Early Adopter Program is the grammar check option. It makes use of machine translation to locate everything from basic grammatical errors to issues with sentence structure. And since this makes use of artificial intelligence, this should also learn over time and catch those “trickier” problems. While it’s currently only available to business users, Google does plan to roll this out to other users as well.

YouTube tries out Explore tab feature for iPhone users

One of the newest features YouTube is trying out will bring a bit more variety to its users. But for now only one percent of its iOS users get to see this new Explore feature. This shows up as a tab at the bottom of the app’s home screen and temporarily takes the place of the Trending section (which is still accessible within the said Tab). The videos you will see here are based on what you’re watching but with a “broader scope.” As YouTube’s Director of product management Tom Leung said, “Explore is designed to help you be exposed to different kinds of topics, videos, or channels that you might not otherwise encounter but they’re still personalized—so they’re still based on your viewing activity.”
