‘ZDNET Recommends’: What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET’s recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET’s editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
The Microsoft Store will help curate AI tools for you now
You will soon be able to explore curated artificial intelligence tools within the Microsoft Store, the tech company announced on Tuesday during its Microsoft Build event.
Microsoft’s new AI Hub will be located in the Microsoft Store and will promote the best AI experiences, as well as educate customers on how to start or expand their AI journey.

Microsoft said tools like Luminar Neo, Lensa, Descript, Krisp, Podcastle, Gamma, Copy.ai, Tripnotes, and more will be available to use. This means you can do everything from building your resume to planning a trip.
The Hub will be especially useful for those who haven’t yet tried the benefits of AI or just don’t know where to start. Microsoft said it plans to add more tools to the Hub in the future as they become available to allow customers to become even more productive by using new AI experiences.

Microsoft said all content and tools in the AI hub will be tested for security, family safety, and device compatibility. The company did not specify when the AI Hub will go live in the Microsoft Store.
The Microsoft Store is also getting more AI features to help customers make better decisions when choosing which games or apps to download. The new AI-generated review summarizes the most useful reviews of a game or an app to decrease the amount of time you spend sifting through thousands of reviews to decide if you want to download something or not.
On the developer side, Microsoft is introducing a developer tool to leverage AI to generate and suggest Search Tags for apps. Microsoft said the new AI-generated keywords will help improve the discoverability of apps within the search results. In addition, Microsoft is making Store Ads discoverable in Bing.com search results.

All of these announcements are a part of Microsoft’s bigger plan to incorporate more AI in the customer experience. The company also revealed that its Microsoft 365 applications would be receiving a major AI upgrade through the introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot, an application that runs on OpenAI. Copilot will even be natively integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser to assist with tasks like emails, calendars, and more.
