Grammarly’s New AI, Gift Card Savings, and a Retro Video App
Grammarly Gets Smarter with AI Agents
Grammarly just rolled out a major update that goes way beyond spelling and grammar checks. The service is adding eight new AI agents that can help you do everything from finding credible sources and formatting citations to checking for plagiarism and even predicting how your reader might react. There’s even an AI grader that gives feedback based on class guidelines. Some of these new features require the paid Pro plan, and they’re available inside Grammarly’s new Docs interface, which works a lot like Google Docs.
Save Money with Discounted Gift Cards
If you’re doing back-to-school shopping (or just want to save some cash), CardBear is a site that tracks discounted gift card prices across multiple resellers. You can often buy cards for up to 30% off their face value. The site also tracks price history and can send alerts when deals pop up. Popular savings are often on food brands, but you’ll find deals for clothing, beauty, and more. Just be sure to double-check terms before you buy to avoid fraud.
Cassette Brings Back the VHS Vibe
Cassette is a new iPhone app that makes watching your home videos feel like popping a VHS into the VCR. Instead of scrolling through your camera roll, the app randomly surfaces old clips—maybe a birthday, a vacation, or your kid’s first steps—all back to back in a retro VHS-style interface. The app also organizes your clips by year, with covers that look like old tapes. You can watch your videos in shuffle mode for free, or pay a one-time fee if you want to pick specific clips.
