Describe in plain words what you want to match, and AI returns a regular expression with a part-by-part explanation and test cases. For Sheets, editors, and bulk edits.
Attendance against sign-ups, payments against orders: paste two lists and AI lists what's in one and missing from the other — even through typos.
AI loves to improve your style, even when nobody asked it to. Tell it to fix only spelling and punctuation and list the changes — your voice stays yours.
An email typed on the wrong keyboard layout or an export from an old system: paste the text into AI and get it back with the accents in the right place. It works in reverse too.
Instead of trawling ten-year-old forum threads, paste the error message — or a screenshot of it — into AI and ask three things: what it means, what to do, and what not to do.
Before you publish, have AI fix only the typography: smart quotes, dashes instead of hyphens, spacing around numbers and units. It leaves the wording alone.
Type 154*1.21 into the address bar and the result shows up right in the suggestions — no Enter, no opening a calculator.
F2
Renaming without a mouse: F2 opens the name for editing, Tab saves it and skips to the next file. Select several files, and they all get renamed at once.
Replace text across all filenames, add a date, number them. PowerRename from PowerToys renames whole batches at once — with a preview before anything actually happens.
Ctrl+Space
What's in that file? Peek from PowerToys shows the contents of a selected file on Ctrl+Space — no waiting for Word, a photo viewer, or a PDF reader to launch.
Win+Ctrl+T
Keep a calculator, notes, or a call always in view: Win+Ctrl+T from PowerToys keeps the selected window above everything else until you unpin it.
Clicking a running app's taskbar icon just brings it to the front. Shift+click opens a new window, Ctrl+Shift+click launches it as admin — three tricks in one icon.
