Welcome to the very first Cool Tools delivery. The name may be new and the look here refreshed, but at its heart, this is the same jolly ol' newsletter we've been sending wide and far every Wednesday for quite a while now — previously under the Bonus Intelligence name. Cool Tools is a much more fitting moniker, as we mentioned earlier this week — and my goodness, is the tool I've dug up for you today a perfect example of what that snazzy new title represents. Ready for a mouth-watering discovery? [JR Raphael, Author of Android Intelligence] JR Raphael​ Author of Android Intelligence --------------------------------------------------------------- Your new AI-powered kitchen pal My fellow tech-obsessor, allow me to introduce you to a super-cool tool called [Taste Bud](. Taste Bud? Oh, yes. And a high-tech companion is exactly what it is. ➜ Taste Bud is a simple site that lets you list out ingredients you've got sitting around in your kitchen — whatever random stuff that might be — and it then uses intelligence of the artificial variety to whip up suggestions for interesting things you could make. ⌚ It takes all of 20 seconds to pull off. It really couldn't be much easier. You just pull up the site, in any browser and on any device you're using, and type in whatever food you see around you — either as a list or as a natural-language chit-chat, if you're feeling conversational. Give the site a few seconds to cook up its magic, and...ta-da! [Taste Bud's ingredient-based recipe suggestion] ​ Taste Bud will spit out a hopefully-inspired recipe based on the exact ingredients you gave it. Kinda handy, no? If you like what Taste Bud suggests, you can click the button to save it — and it'll store it in your browser's cache for future reference (no sign-in required). If you don't, you can smash that "Try again" command, and the site will mix things up and serve up something completely different. Now, that's what I call tasteful AI. 📌 Taste Bud is [completely web-based]( and should work fine on any phone, tablet, or computer. 💰 It's completely free to use (for the moment, at least!). 🕶 And it doesn't require any manner of personal data. And speaking of tasty tech treats... ​ Supercharge your tech knowledge ⚡ [The Intelligence mascot inviting people to join us!]()​ Do you like piña coladas, attending (virtual) tech watch parties, being part of a fun community of like-minded people, having unlimited access to tons of in-depth guides and resources, and getting caught in the rain?* Then The Intelligence Insider may be exactly what you are looking for.

Which alternate name did Microsoft's chief marketing strategist first suggest? Bang. Microsoft wanted a name that was short and memorable, so "Bang" also [fit the bill](. However, the name Bing has an edge: "I binged it" sounds a lot better than the alternative. (Bing was previously named "Windows Live Search," though.) 🤚 Wait!
