Prompts to make trendy Instagram images using ChatGPT

Here are the prompts that you can use. Feel free to edit the prompts to your likings:

Prompt 1: Image with younger self

Create an ultra-realistic photo of me and my younger self side by side. Use soft cinematic light and a simple background. Younger self on left smiling, present self looking at younger self with a calm expression. High photographic quality. Aspect ratio 4:5.

Prompt 2: Scribblified image

Redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in MS Paint with a mouse. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what, whatever, just draw it however you want.

Prompt 3: Crayon-like profile photos

Rework the given image into a crayon-style illustration, transforming the entire scene into something that feels hand-drawn by a 10-year-old. Keep the forms simple and slightly imperfect, like a child’s drawing. Avoid using the original color palette replace it with bright, playful crayon colors on a clean white paper background. Aim for a soft, cute, and innocent aesthetic. Incorporate fun, childlike details such as castles or towers, candy, stars, clouds, and other whimsical decorations to amplify the playful vibe. The final result should feel charming, colorful, and full of childlike imagination.

Google has rolled out a major update that allows the users to generate and export files into their preferred file formats directly inside the AI tool.

The feature supports a wide range of formats, including text files, spreadsheets, and polished PDFs. Built for people who handle large volumes of information, it enables a smoother path from idea to finished output. With this upgrade, Gemini evolves from a simple chat assistant into a more capable, productivity-focused, powerful workstation.

Prerequisites

Before we move ahead and check how you can directly export a file in a PDF, doc or any other format, here are some things you need to know:

• You must have a Google account to access the Gemini interface.

Whether a movie turns out to be good or bad, one thing always remains true: the hype around its poster is altogether different. Movie posters almost have a fanbase of their own; many people love creating such posters, too. But traditionally, creating professional-looking posters has required either expensive software or a trained graphic designer. 

But those days are long gone now, and that’s because ever since ChatGPT's image generation capabilities have improved, transforming ordinary photos into cinematic movie posters has become much simpler. You don't need any Photoshop skills; all you need is a decent photo of yourself and the right prompts. Let’s take a look at how you can do so.

Step-by-step guide to get movie poster images with ChatGPT

Step 1: Selecting the image

Firstly, choose the image you wish to turn into a movie poster. There are a variety of images that are worth creating. Be it portraits or group pictures, this style works on everything, so take your time while selecting the images. 

Step 2: Uploading the image to ChatGPT

After you’re done with selecting the picture, the next step would be to upload it to ChatGPT. Doing that is pretty simple. On your mobile/desktop, just open up either the ChatGPT website or the application.

Once there, head on over to the images tab. Now, click on the images icon in the chat window, which would then allow you to select images from your local machine. Alternatively, you can also copy and paste the images into the chat window for an even smoother process.

Step 3: Entering the prompt

Now that the image has been selected and uploaded to ChatGPT, it’s just a matter of prompting. While you can attach various different prompts based on what movie-style poster you would like, we’ve created a specialised prompt that would work for any movie poster. It would just need a few tweaks, based on the movie you’re selecting.

Copy and paste the following prompt:

“Use the uploaded image as the face reference. Preserve identity and facial features exactly. Transform the subject into a [genre] cinematic movie poster. Describe outfit + pose + camera angle. Add a detailed background environment matching the genre. Specify lighting style (low-key, dramatic, soft, etc.). Apply cinematic colour grading. Add atmosphere effects (rain, fog, particles, sparks, etc.). Ensure photorealistic detail, sharp focus, and high resolution. Include stylised movie title text at the bottom.”

Step 4: Downloading images

After all the processes have been followed, it’s just a matter of waiting. Once ChatGPT processes the prompt and the image, it will then generate an image. In case you’re not satisfied with the results and are willing to make changes to the images, doing so is pretty simple. Just click on the generated image and choose the edit option. 

Though if you’re happy with the result, simply click on the share icon and either download the image locally or share it via the different given options.

Movie poster examples

We ourselves tried creating a bunch of movie-poster-styled images using ChatGPT, and the results were pretty good. Most of the created images included popular movies seen in the last few years. Check out a few examples below, and refer to these prompts to get the best results. 

John Wick-styled poster

Copy and paste the following prompt:

“Use the uploaded image as the face reference. Preserve facial features, expression, and identity exactly. Transform the subject into a cinematic John Wick-style action movie poster. Place the character in a sharp black suit, holding a pistol in a relaxed but deadly pose. Use a mid-shot composition with a slightly low camera angle to create dominance. Add a dark, rainy city background with blurred neon lights. Apply dramatic low-key lighting with strong shadows and high contrast. Use teal and orange cinematic colour grading. Add rain effects, subtle motion blur, and realistic reflections on the suit and weapon. Include bold movie title text at the bottom in a sleek metallic font.”

Marvel-styled poster 

Copy and paste the following prompt:

“Use the uploaded image as the face reference. Keep identity and facial details unchanged. Transform the subject into a futuristic superhero character. Design a detailed armoured suit with glowing accents and advanced textures. Use a heroic pose with the character looking slightly upward, framed in a wide cinematic composition. Create an epic background with a dramatic sky, energy bursts, sparks, and distant destruction. Apply high-intensity lighting with strong rim light and glowing highlights around the character. Use vibrant cinematic colour grading with deep contrast and atmospheric depth. Add particles, light flares, and energy effects to enhance scale and drama. Include bold cinematic title text with a glowing, futuristic style.”

Harry Potter-styled poster

Copy and paste the following prompt:

“Use the uploaded image as the face reference. Preserve all facial details and identity. Transform the subject into a Harry Potter-style fantasy movie poster. Dress the character in wizard robes, holding a glowing wand. Place the character in a magical environment like Hogwarts with fog, floating lights, and a mystical atmosphere. Use soft cinematic lighting with magical glow effects and cool blue tones. Add particles, sparks, and subtle magical energy effects around the wand. Use a medium close-up composition with a mysterious expression. Include fantasy-style title typography with a glowing golden finish.”

With each passing day, heatwaves across the country tighten their grip, and temperatures continue to climb. When you step into a home, you expect relief from the oppressive heat and humidity, yet many interiors now feel just as stifling. A standard fan often fails to provide meaningful comfort. This is when the thought of an air conditioner becomes less a luxury and more a necessity. However, a practical question soon follows: should you invest in a brand new unit or consider a used one at a lower cost? In this article I'll walk you through the simple things that can influence your decision of choosing between a new AC or a used AC. 

New AC vs used AC: Total cost of ownership

Buying a new air conditioner costs more upfront, but you get something important in return: certainty. You know the machine works, you know it is efficient, and you have a manufacturer's warranty protecting the key parts for several years.

A used AC looks attractive because the price is often nearly half that of a new one. But that lower price can hide real risks. Most second-hand units come without any warranty, so if something breaks, the repair bill lands entirely on you. A compressor failure alone can cost almost as much as buying a new unit. Once you add installation charges and the likely cost of repairs, the gap between cheap and expensive closes faster than you would expect.

New AC vs used AC: Power consumption

Energy efficiency matters, but how much it matters depends on how often you actually run your AC. New 5-star inverter models are genuinely good at saving power, but they also cost significantly more to buy.

If you are out of the house for most of the day and only run the AC at night, those efficiency gains may not make a big difference to your monthly electricity bill. In that case, a well-maintained used unit with a 3-star rating can be a sensible choice. The savings upfront may outweigh the slightly higher running costs.

New AC vs used AC: Maintenance and cooling performance

New air conditioners use better technology and newer refrigerants. They cool faster, perform more consistently, and are easier to service since spare parts are widely available.

Older used units often come with hidden wear. Dusty coils, reduced airflow, and ageing parts make the system work harder than it should. This speeds up further damage and drives up electricity use. Finding spare parts for older models can also be difficult.

That said, not every used AC is a bad buy. A lightly used unit in good condition, with its refrigerant levels intact, can still cool a room well. The difference is in how carefully you evaluate it before buying. A new AC gives you peace of mind from day one. A good used one, chosen wisely, can still be worth it depending on your situation.

Digital transactions have certainly simplified our lives. However, at times, one may find themselves in situations where they lack access to the internet or their smartphones. Nevertheless, the transfer or receipt of money using UPI can still be accomplished in very easy ways even when such circumstances arise. The use of features such as dial codes and voice calls that link you directly to your bank account can still be utilised in performing money transfers. These methods work smoothly without using mobile data, allowing money to be sent quickly and safely. In this guide I'll walk you through simple methods using which you can make UPI payments without needing the internet or a smartphone.

Method 1: Using Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

One of the easiest methods of transferring money that doesn’t require the use of the internet or smartphones is just making a call. This is how you do it:

1. Launch your phone app and dial your bank’s IVR number using your registered mobile number.

Note: It won't work with any other number.

2. Choose the language you're comfortable with.

3. When the menu plays, press the option for money transfer.

4. Enter the mobile number or UPI ID of whoever you're sending money to.

5. Enter the amount. You can either type it in or just say it out loud.

6. Finish up by entering your 4 or 6-digit UPI PIN to confirm the payment.

Method 2: Via app on feature phones

Quite a few feature phones these days come with a lightweight UPI app already loaded in, and the good part is, it works even without a data connection.

1. Open the UPI Lite app on your feature phone.

2. Find the Send Money or Pay option and select it.

3. Put in the recipient's phone number or UPI ID.

4. Type in the amount you want to send.

5. Enter your UPI PIN when prompted.

Once the payment goes through, a confirmation message will pop up on your screen.

Method 3: With proximity sound

The other way is by using the sound proximity system. This technique is quite unique since it uses the sound waves to communicate from your device to the other party's device rather than the data. But here’s how easy it is to do this:

1. Open your Phone app and call 6366200200 (this is the designated IVR number for this).

2. From the menu, pick the Pay to Merchant option.

3. Hold your phone close to the merchant's sound-based payment device, usually a Sound Box.

4. Once you hear the unique tone from the device, press the # key on your keypad.

5. Enter the payment amount.

6. Type your UPI PIN to complete the transaction.

After that, both you and the merchant will get an instant audio or SMS confirmation that the payment went through.

Method 4: Using missed call

If the other methods feel like too many steps, this one's about as simple as it gets.

1. Open your Phone app and dial the specific number shown at the merchant's counter or shop.

2. You'll get an automated call back almost immediately. Just wait for it.

3. The call will ask you to verify the merchant's name and confirm the transaction.

4. Enter the amount as prompted by the voice.

5. Authenticate by typing your UPI PIN.

Now, you'll get a text message shortly after confirming the payment was successful.

As summer temperatures begin to climb across the country, many of us turn to our air conditioners, only to feel a lukewarm breeze instead of a refreshing chill. While it’s easy to assume the unit is simply ageing, the real culprit is often the refrigerant. Refrigerant, commonly referred to as AC gas, is the substance responsible for cooling the air that flows from the system. Most people believe checking refrigerant levels is a task only for technicians. However, there are a few simple ways using which you can check if your AC has enough refrigerant (gas) at home. Moreover, the best part is that you don't require specialised tools or professional assistance to identify that.

1. Perform a temperature drop test on your AC

One of the easiest ways to check if your AC unit has enough gas is to check the air temperature at the vents. You can use a basic thermometer to measure the air entering the system at the large intake vent and compare it to the air blowing out of the cooling registers from the front. If using a split AC, then you need to check the inflow on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and the outflow on the vents of the split AC.

If the outflow of the air is significantly colder than the inflow of the air, then your AC has enough refrigerant (gas) left in it. However, if the difference between the two numbers is very small, then it's a strong indicator that the refrigerant is not high enough to carry the heat away.

2. Check for ice on the copper pipes

It may seem strange to find ice on an air conditioner during a hot day, but frozen pipes are a classic sign of low gas. When the pressure drops inside the cooling coils, the temperature of the metal falls below freezing. This causes moisture in the air to turn into ice.

You can check this by looking at the copper lines connecting your indoor and outdoor units. If you see white frost or a layer of ice covering these pipes, your system is struggling. Moreover, if you see ice, then you should turn the unit off immediately, as running it in this state can damage the compressor.

3. Look for oily stains near connections on your AC

Refrigerant travels through your air conditioner alongside a special oil that keeps the internal parts moving smoothly. When the gas leaks out through a small hole or a loose joint, the oil usually leaks out with it. Inspect the outdoor unit and the visible copper joints for any greasy or dusty patches that look like oil spills.

These stains act like a map that shows you exactly where the leak is located. Finding these spots early allows a technician to seal the hole rather than just adding more gas to a broken system.

Updating your work records is important for ensuring that your retirement savings are managed properly. Although employers usually do this after you have stopped working with them, there will be instances when this won’t happen. Luckily, there is a way that enables you to manage this task yourself. Simply noting down the exit date on the consolidated website will ensure that the records of your service are updated. This small effort will link the two points and provide a seamless path towards achieving the goals of your new venture. You will be able to take charge of your hard-earned money without having to rely on any external help.

YouTube Shorts can be a quick source of entertainment, but this quick stream often eats into your valuable time and leaves you wondering if there is a way to limit it and save your day. Shorts are built to keep you watching through an endless loop of short clips that slowly drain focus and attention. Breaking this pattern begins with taking back control of your digital habits, especially by setting clear limits on what you watch and how much you watch. In this guide, I will walk you through simple steps that help you reduce or disable YouTube Shorts. This will help you use your time with more intention and less distraction and regain focus during the day.

How to disable YouTube Shorts on your Android and iOS devices

If you want to disable YouTube Shorts, then all you need to do is to follow the easy steps outlined below:

1. Launch the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device.

2. Tap your profile picture and press the Settings icon.

3. Select Time Management from the available options.

4. Enable the button next to the Shorts Feed limit.

5. Choose the Short Feed limit you want to set. You have options from 0 minutes to 2 hours.

Once you choose how long you want to watch Shorts, you’ll only be able to watch them for that duration. If you select 0 minutes, the restriction takes effect immediately.

Benefits of limiting the YouTube Shorts

If you limit the YouTube Shorts viewing time, it can have many benefits, including the following:

• It can help you focus more on long-form content that needs better focus and can help you learn things in detail.
• It can save time, as just one more loop turns 5 minutes into an hour without you realising it. 
• Reduces mental exhaustion, as constant swiping forces your brain to evaluate new context every 60 seconds.
• Without the Shorts algorithm pushing trending clips, you are more likely to seek out specific, high-quality videos you actually want to watch.

Elections play a vital role in any country, including India, as they decide who will lead the nation in the coming years. Making sure your name is on the final voter list is the most important step before any election. If your name is not there, you cannot vote, even if you have a voter ID card. The voter list is updated regularly to add new voters, update addresses, or remove names. Even the government is running an SIR and self-enumeration programme for that. Checking your voter's details early gives you enough time to fix any mistakes before election day. You can easily check your name in the voters list using the phone or computer. Follow along to learn how it is done.

How to check your name in the updated voters list

Here are the simple steps using which you can check if your name is present in the final voter list:

1. Open a web browser on your device.

2. Search for the Voters Service Portal and open the official website.

3. Choose the option (tab) you want to use to check your name in the updated voter list.

4. Follow the steps below based on the option you selected:

• Search by EPIC: Enter your EPIC number > select State > enter Captcha > press the Search button.
• Search by Details: Choose your State > pick an option from the Select Language dropdown > fill in Personal Details > enter Location Details > fill in the Captcha details > tap the Search button.
• Search by Mobile Number: Pick your State > choose an option from the Select Language dropdown > enter your Mobile number and Captcha details > hit Send OTP > enter the OTP > tap on the Search button.

Reasons to check your name in the updated voters list

Checking your name on the revised voters list (electoral roll) is much more important than you think. Here is why:

• To check out any errors in regard to your name, age, and even address because such an error might create issues during voting.
• To ascertain which polling station you are supposed to vote from, since voting stations vary depending on your current address. This is especially so if you have been recently relocated or if there are any changes in regard to your current constituency.
• Consistent checking of your vote ensures that there is no duplication of your votes or anything suspicious going on regarding your name.
• If you have recently attained the age of 18 years, been relocated or even changed your name, then it is essential for you to double-check that this information is correct.

The pixel art style was famous in the 1990s and the early 2000s, mostly because all the games at the time used this style across various genres. But in recent months, this art style has made a comeback, and that’s largely due to social media. It has been seen in many places, including modern indie games, digital art, and, of course, Instagram stories.

Though creating pixel art isn’t as easy as one might think. Since it requires the usage of dedicated software and a fair amount of skill, which not everyone has. But all of that has been solved, all thanks to the advancements made to ChatGPT's image generation capabilities.

Using the AI chatbot, it is now possible to turn any photo into a pixel art style. Whether you want to transform your picture or a landscape into a retro pixel art style, all it takes is the right prompt and a few simple steps. Without wasting much time, let’s see how you can start creating pixel art images using ChatGPT.

Step-by-step guide to get pixel art images with ChatGPT

Step 1: Selecting the image

Firstly, it’s important to choose the image you wish to turn into pixel art. Given the uniqueness this art style offers, there are a variety of images that are worth creating. Be it portraits, group pictures, or even landscapes, this art style works on everything, so take your time while selecting the images. We used various pictures to create our images, and the results were impressive.

Step 2: Uploading the image to ChatGPT

After you’re done with selecting the picture you wish to create into pixel art, the next step would be to upload it to ChatGPT. Doing that doesn’t need much effort, as it’s pretty simple. On your mobile/desktop, just open up either the ChatGPT website or the application.

Once there, head on over to the images tab, which should be located on the left side. Now, click on the images icon in the chat window, which would then allow you to select images from your local machine. Alternatively, you can also copy and paste the images into the chat window for an even smoother process.

Step 3: Entering the prompt

Now that the image has been selected and uploaded to ChatGPT, it’s just a matter of prompting, and that’s very easy. While there are various options for pixel art-style images, using the right prompt is essential for turning out the images in the best quality. Below, we have attached the best prompt we used to generate our pixel art images.

Copy and paste the below prompt to turn your images into pixel art

“Convert this image into true pixel art with a clearly visible pixel grid and deliberately low resolution (e.g., 64×64, 128×128, or 256×256 depending on subject). The final image must look blocky and pixelated, not smooth or painterly. Use a limited color palette (16–32 colors max) with hard color transitions—avoid gradients, blur, or photorealistic shading. Apply manual-style dithering (checkerboard patterns) for shading instead of smooth blending. Simplify details aggressively: reduce textures, remove fine noise, and convert shapes into bold, readable pixel clusters. Add clean 1–2 pixel outlines where needed to define forms. Preserve the main subject and composition, but reinterpret everything in a retro 8-bit / 16-bit game sprite style. Background should also be simplified into chunky pixel blocks. No anti-aliasing, no soft edges, no realistic gradients, no high-resolution details. Keep everything crisp, blocky, and grid-aligned.”

Step 4: Downloading images

After all the aforementioned processes have been followed, all the things from your side are done. Now it’s just a matter of playing the waiting game. Once ChatGPT processes the prompt and the image, it will then generate an image. It should take a minute or two for the entire process to unfold.

In case you’re not satisfied with the results and are willing to make changes to the images, doing so is pretty simple. Just click on the generated image and choose the edit option. Now, based on what you want to change, simply prompt the same to the chatbot and click on enter. ChatGPT would consider all the edits and give out the final result. Though if you’re happy with the result, simply click on the share icon and either download the image locally or share it via the different given options.

With that said, I hope you understood how you can easily create some cool-looking pixel art pictures using ChatGPT. When you do create your pixel art images, make sure to share them and tag us on our social handles. For many such handy guides, keep on reading Digit.in

How to spot unauthorised centres

With the rise of digital services, some private shops may claim to be official centres without permission. Here is how to stay safe:

• Authorised centres, known as Aadhaar Seva Kendras, will always display the official UIDAI logo and a standard rate chart for services.
• On Google Maps or MapmyIndia, look for centres marked as 'Verified' or those that have official descriptions provided by the UIDAI.
• Official centres follow government-fixed rates. If a centre asks for a very high fee for a simple update, it might not be authorised.
• Be wary of small shops that claim they can print or make your card in minutes without a proper biometric scan or official receipt.
• In case you are uncertain about anything, feel free to cross-check the centre's address on the official UIDAI website before visiting.

WhatsApp has recently rolled out an update that improves its support for Apple CarPlay, allowing drivers to stay focused on the road and avoid worrying about missing important messages. With the update now live, drivers can quickly answer calls or reply to texts directly through the car screen. Users also get a cleaner interface that displays chats and calls in a simple and organised way. The function had been under test for quite a while, but WhatsApp has now rolled it out for all users. This makes car conversations safer, simpler, and more convenient. Additionally, it will help the app integrate with notifications.

While WhatsApp used to work with CarPlay previously as well, it was in a limited way and mostly depended on voice commands. However, with the latest update, now the experience feels more like using the app on a phone but adapted for driving. Users can see a list of recent chats and call history right on the car display. There is also a separate section for favourite contacts, making it easier to reach the people you talk to most.

Have you ever dreamt of becoming an astronaut? I’m sure you have. Back when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, every kid imagined themselves in his shoes. They just thought about how cool it would be if they got a chance to explore outer space. Heck, even today’s kids admire the same, as the popularity has definitely risen up ever since the Artemis II mission. 

Unfortunately, it’s not always in our destiny to become what we want. Getting the chance to explore outer space as an astronaut is extremely rare, almost impossible, I must say. Out of the 8 billion people who reside on earth, only four astronauts got the opportunity. While we can’t physically go to the moon, the latest advancements allow us to feel like an astronaut. And that's possible using the magic of prompts and ChatGPT. Let’s take a deep dive into how you can create Artemis II moon pictures using ChatGPT in our step-by-step guide.

Also Read: ChatGPT photo editing prompt for professional studio-like pictures: Step-by-step guide

Step-by-step guide for creating Artemis II images

Follow the steps below to create Artemis II moon pictures and imagine yourself as an astronaut out in outer space:

Step 1: Finding the perfect image 

First and foremost, it is important to find the best picture. This step is important, since otherwise there are high chances the output that ChatGPT gives out wouldn’t be in the highest possible quality. 

Since we’re basically face-swapping and putting a person into the astronaut’s suit, it is recommended to find a solo portrait picture. Using a group picture would confuse the chatbot, but with a good-looking portrait shot that has been clicked under bright lighting, the clarity on the face would lead to realism. 

Step 2: Uploading images to ChatGPT 

After selecting the best images for the creation of the Artemis II picture, you can now upload them onto ChatGPT. Doing that is pretty simple, as you just need to head on over to either the ChatGPT website or the desktop/mobile application. In our case we chose to go with the website. 

Once on the website/app, simply head on over to the ‘Images’ tab, where you’ll see the icon of an image. Click on the image, and you'll be able to upload a local image from your computer/mobile. Alternatively, you can also just copy an image from the web and paste it in the chat window. 

Step 3: Inputting the correct prompts

Now comes the fun part! And that involves opening up your creative side and inputting the most creative prompts you could ever imagine. It’s best to be as descriptive as possible, as ChatGPT simply loves detailed descriptions. You can also use third-party prompt enhancers, which, as the name suggests, would enhance the prompt based on the inputs you have given. 

Though if you're struggling with prompting, there are several specially curated prompts you can try out. You can simply copy the prompts from below and paste them on over to the ChatGPT window. We have a few prompts listed below, and you can also try out a sample prompt provided below: 

Copy and paste this prompt onto ChatGPT 

“Create a picture where you are an Artemis II astronaut travelling through deep space toward the Moon. Describe what you see from the spacecraft window—the Earth shrinking in the distance, the vast darkness of space, and the Moon growing larger. Reflect on the historic significance of the mission and your personal emotions as you orbit the Moon.”

Step 4: Image creation

After you’ve pasted the prompt over onto ChatGPT, you can now enter the prompt and wait for ChatGPT to process the image. Based on the prompt, you’ve entered, ChatGPT would give out the result. In case you don’t like the image for some reason, you always have the option to make changes to it, using the ‘Edit’ icon. Simply enter what you want to change and the chatbot would apply the following changes. 

Now, if you are happy with the final result, you can now click on the image and either share it onto social platforms directly or download the image for local use. 

Prompts for Artemis II moon pictures

Now that you’ve understood how you can create Artemis 2 moon pictures using ChatGPT, let’s now take a look at some of the best prompts to use within the chatbot for the best possible results. 

First-person launch experience

We do get to attend the launch experience of the latest spacecrafts going into outer space. And that's because of the advancements in live-streaming tech. But wouldn’t it be a lot cooler if you could get an image where you are witnessing the launch while sitting inside the spacecraft itself? While it may not sound like the most logical or practically possible thing, though admittedly, this type of image is pretty unique and something that is definitely worth giving a shot. 

Copy and paste this prompt onto the ChatGPT chat window 

“Create an image, based on the fact that you are an astronaut aboard Artemis II, strapped into your seat inside the Orion spacecraft. Describe the moments leading up to launch, the thunderous liftoff, and the intense vibrations as the rocket ascends. Capture your thoughts, emotions, and the physical sensations as you leave Earth behind for the first crewed lunar mission in decades.”

The return to Earth 

Once the mission is over, the eventual return back to the surface of Earth becomes special. As the raw emotions of the astronauts come out, along with the beauty of our planet. Putting yourself in this scenario without actually experiencing the feel may not do justice to the image, but it is still definitely worth giving a shot.  

Copy and paste this prompt onto the ChatGPT chat window  

“Imagine you are returning to Earth after completing the Artemis II mission. As you re-enter the atmosphere and prepare for splashdown, reflect on your journey—what you learned, the challenges you faced, and how seeing Earth from space has changed your perspective on humanity and the planet.”

Message to humanity from space

As a big fan of the recently released film ‘Project Hail Mary’, I have to admit, I might be a bit biased towards this particular style of picture. It reminds me of when Ryland, the protagonist from the film, along with the alien Rocky, are recording their adventures together, which the people on Earth get to witness once they receive the tapes. It’s pretty unique and definitely worth trying out. 

Copy and paste this prompt into the ChatGPT chat window  

“Create an image where you can imagine that you are an astronaut on Artemis II, recording a message to humanity while the spacecraft loops around the far side of the Moon—completely cut off from communication with Earth. In this moment of silence and isolation, speak about what it feels like to be one of the few humans ever to witness this view. Describe the stillness, the weight of history, and the message you would send to Earth about unity, exploration, and the future of space travel.”

Hope you understood how you can create some of the most unique-looking pictures using the magic of ChatGPT. Make sure to tag us on our socials when you post your Artemis II mission pictures online. For many such handy guides, keep on reading Digit.in!

AI advancements have revolutionised photography in recent years. Gone are the days when you had to book full-blown studios with professional cameras and lighting to get excellent pictures. You can now get the same results with just your smartphone and a little help from ChatGPT, as it has become very easy to get a professional, studio-like picture within minutes. Though most users often struggle with finding the best way to create such images. But well, that’s what we’re here for. Without wasting much time, let’s check out how to create professional, studio-like pictures using ChatGPT.  

Also Read: Best prompt for Linkedin profile pic: Gemini, ChatGPT step-by-step instruction

Step-by-step guide to get professional studio pictures with ChatGPT

Step 1: Finding the perfect picture

First and foremost, finding a suitable picture for the chatbot is crucial. You can’t just upload any pictures and expect the results to be good, since there are a lot of factors to keep in mind for the best results. 

For example, group pictures are a big no, as the AI could have trouble finding the correct person and may not produce accurate results. It is best to use a picture that has just a single person in frame, and ideally, it should also be shot with decent lighting, so that the AI can easily replace the background as well. 

Step 2: Uploading the image to ChatGPT

Once you’re done with selecting the picture, the next step would be to upload it to ChatGPT. Doing that is pretty simple and does not require much effort. Simply open the ChatGPT app/website on either your mobile device or desktop.

After you’re there, head on over to the images tab to create the studio-like image. In there, you should see the chat window; click on the ‘Add Photos’ icon to select pictures from your local machine. Alternatively, you can also copy and paste the images into the chat window. 

Step 3: Entering the prompts for the desired picture

Next, you need to enter a detailed prompt to get the most ideal results. You can try some of the most popular options used by many, as well as frame and enhance your prompts in various ways. Below, we outline the prompt we used to generate our professional studio-like images. You can copy and paste it into the ChatGPT chat window.  

Prompt for professional studio-like pictures in ChatGPT:

“Produce a cinematic low-key studio portrait with a dark background and moody lighting. Use a single key light with high contrast and deep shadows. Shot with an 85mm lens, f/1.8. Emphasise facial structure, texture, and intensity. Hollywood-style lighting, sharp focus, rich blacks, and dramatic tone. The frame should be rendered in a 9:16 ratio. Use diffused soft lighting and macro-level detail. High clarity, natural skin tones, polished but realistic retouching”

Step 4: Waiting for the magic to happen

Once the prompt for the image has been entered, you can click on the Enter key. Now comes the fun part of waiting! As the famous quote says, patience pays. While ChatGPT analyses the reference image and generates the output, you should wait for the magic to happen.

Once ChatGPT is done with the image, the output should be right in front of you. You can now download and use this image by clicking on the 'share image' option and then pressing 'download'. In case you aren’t satisfied with the result, you always have the option to modify/edit it in any way you want. Simply click on the edit icon and give out further details required for the edit.

Getting answers online has never been easier, but accuracy still matters. Google Gemini is one of the most useful tools available, yet it is always wise to take a second look at the information it provides. The accuracy of the text you receive on Gemini is not always guaranteed, especially when misinformation and misleading narratives spread quickly across the internet. This is the reason why it is more important than ever to check the information you read before you accept it. In this guide, I will share with you ways you can use to fact-check information using Google Gemini.

Method 1: The double-check feature on Google Gemini

If you are using Gemini for research purposes and you are not sure of the response or the response is unclear, you can double-check the response using the double-check feature provided by Gemini. In order to do that, you need to go to the end of the response provided by Gemini > press the three dots icon > select Double-check response. After this, Gemini will again check the response and highlight different parts of it with different colours. Here is what it means:

• Green Highlight: Google Search found similar content. Click the text to view the source.
• Orange Highlight: Google Search found content that is different or could not find a match. This may require further checking.
• No Highlight: There was not enough information to evaluate the statement.

Method 2: Check inline citations and sources

Gemini also cites sources inline in their responses at times. If inline sources are not visible, users can simply scroll down and click on the Sources button. This will open a panel on the right side of the screen with links to the sources that Gemini used in creating their response.

Method 3: Use deep research

Another way to verify information in Gemini is by using the Deep Research feature, available in Gemini Advanced. However, unlike normal chats, Deep Research uses a process that has a few steps:

• It browses multiple websites on its own.
• It compares information from multiple sources to identify differences.
• It creates a detailed report with proper citations for key points.

Method 4: Fact-check using a Gemini prompt

Up until this point, you have been able to understand how to verify information generated by the Gemini programme using the tools available within the programme. However, the programme is also able to assist in fact-checking any information available, such as a document or a news article. The steps for fact-checking any information using the program are as follows:

1. Open the Gemini app or website.

2. Enter a fact check prompt. You can use the example below:

'Act as a highly sceptical fact checker. Analyse the following text and flag any logical inconsistencies, unverified claims, or suspicious data points. Do not add new information. Only highlight potential issues.'

3. Gemini will then review the content and point out possible concerns.

Checking your email inbox shouldn’t be a task. However, we are bombarded with a huge number of emails on a daily basis, and this can become a problem. In this give-and-take process, important emails often get lost, and less important ones are wasting your precious time. To solve this problem, Google has brought a new feature. It offers quick summaries, highlights urgent tasks, and neatly groups less important updates. With all this organisation, you can see what's truly important in seconds instead of looking at all your emails. It's a smarter approach to your inbox and can save you a lot of time. In this guide I will walk you through everything you need to know about the all-new AI Inbox feature in Gmail.

The tech giant announced AI Inbox for the first time in January as part of its efforts to bring smarter tools to Gmail users. The feature is rolling out to a limited number of AI Ultra subscribers, as announced by Google’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Prerequisites

Before you learn how to set up the AI inbox on your Gmail, here are some of the things you need to know:

• The feature is in beta at the time of writing.
• Requires an active Google AI Ultra subscription.
• Only available in the United States while writing.
• The display language on your Gmail must be set to English (US).

Note: The feature is being rolled out in phases, so you may not see it yet even if you meet the criteria above.

How to set up an AI inbox in your Gmail

If you're looking to set up the AI inbox in your Gmail, then you should keep in mind that the function can't work without the permission to analyse your emails for summaries and to-dos. Here's how you can give the required permissions:

1. Launch Gmail website or app on your device.

2. Head to the Settings tab by pressing the gear icon and select See all settings.

Note: If you're using the Gmail app, then you can find the Settings in the hamburger menu (three lines icon).

3. Under the General tab, scroll down to the Smart features and personalisation section.

4. Make sure that the box next to Smart features or Smart features and personalisation' is checked.

Note: If this is off, Gemini will not be able to read your emails and create the daily briefings or suggested to-dos.

5. Now, scroll to the bottom and click Save Changes if you made any updates.

If you are planning to shift your home or switch to a modern cooking method, you might find yourself stuck with an old gas cylinder. Many people leave their gas connections idle because the process of returning them seems like a huge task. However, surrendering your LPG connection is a very responsible move that ensures safety and helps you recover your initial deposit money. Regardless of whether you are moving to a new city or simply upgrading your kitchen to a piped gas system, the steps are quite easy to follow. This guide will take you through the entire process to ensure that you can close your account with no issues or confusion.

Prerequisites to surrender your LPG connection

Before you go to the gas agency, there are a few things you must check. Check out the below mentioned:

• You must ensure that you have made payments for the previous refills.
• You must ensure that the gas cylinder and the pressure regulator provided by the company are in good condition.
• Find the original paper you received when you got the connection.

Documents required

You must carry some documents with you to the distributor's office to prove your ownership. Here's everything you need:

• The blue book or passbook where your refills are recorded.
• Carry your subscription voucher, as the security deposit is mentioned in it.
• Identification proof such as an Aadhaar card, voter ID, or passport.
• Address proof like your recent electricity bill or rental agreement.
• Banking information, like a cancelled cheque or bank passbook, to ensure the funds are deposited into your account.

Benefits of PNG over LPG

Many people are opting for Piped Natural Gas as their source of energy, as this option has many advantages over the traditional cylinder system. Here are some of the benefits:

• With PNG, you never have to worry about running out of gas in the middle of cooking. There is no need to book a delivery or wait for a delivery truck.
• Since PNG is piped, there is no need to store a heavy, cumbersome cylinder in your kitchen, which gives you extra space.
• PNG is lighter than air, so in the event of a leak, it will dissipate quickly into the atmosphere, reducing the risk of a fire, unlike LPG, which will settle on the floor.
• You do not pay for the gas in advance. Just like your electricity bill, you receive a bill at the end of the month based on your actual consumption.
• You no longer have to deal with the physical strain of moving or checking the weight of a metal cylinder.

Switching to a modern kitchen setup is now easier than ever. Piped Natural Gas, or PNG, is becoming the top choice for homes across the country. It offers a steady supply of fuel right through a pipe, so you never have to worry about a cylinder running out while you are cooking. The best part is that you can apply for a new connection from the comfort of your sofa using your phone or laptop. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to get your online application done. From checking the list of papers you need to understanding why PNG is a smart move, we have you covered. Here is a clear breakdown of how to apply for a new PNG connection online.

Prerequisites for new PNG connection

Before you start your online journey, make sure your area is ready for a PNG connection. Not every street has the pipeline laid down yet.

• Visit the website of your local gas provider like IGL, MGL, or Adani Total Gas and enter your area pin code to see if they serve your colony.
• You will need a working phone number to receive a one-time password (OTP) for verification.
• A smartphone or computer with a stable internet connection is required to upload files and fill out the form.

• Address proof: Latest electricity bill, telephone bill, or water bill.
• Ownership proof: House Tax receipt, sale deed, or possession letter.
• For tenants: Rent agreement and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the landlord.

If you follow Bollywood, or even if you’re active on social media, I’m sure you've heard of the latest film called Dhurandhar. It has been making headlines ever since it came out last year, and with the release of its sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, this month, things have gotten even more exciting for the fans. Most recently, a trend started going viral where people were trying to create Dhurandhar-movie-inspired images, so we thought, why not make a detailed guide on it? Without wasting much time, let’s take a look at some of the photo editing prompts you can use with ease to create such images.

How to use the Dhurandhar photo editing prompts

Before you jump on over to the prompts, we would recommend checking out some of the basic steps below. Regardless of the image style, the following steps apply to all of them: 

1. First and foremost, open either the ChatGPT website or the application on your mobile/desktop. 
2. Once you’re there, on the left side, you should see the ‘Images’ tab; click on it.
3. In the chat window, use any of the prompts mentioned below to create the Dhurandhar-styled photo. 
4. After the prompt is written, make sure to attach a reference image alongside it so that ChatGPT gives out the best result.
5. Once you’re satisfied with the prompt and the reference image, just click on the generate button and wait for a few minutes for the image to generate. 
6. After image generation, you can either edit it further with prompts or, if you’re happy with the result, click 'download' to save the image locally on your mobile/desktop. 

These are just a few basic steps that need to be followed across all kinds of image styles. Moving on further, let’s now have a look at the prompts themselves that would be used across the images. 

Dhurandhar movie poster-styled photo

Our first prompt is detailed enough for you to create a Dhurandhar movie poster-styled image of yourself. We would recommend sharing a full-body portrait image of yourself with ChatGPT for the best results. 

Copy and paste this prompt:

“A dramatic Bollywood action movie poster in “Dhurandhar” style, featuring a powerful male protagonist standing in a heroic pose, intense expression, rugged face, slightly long messy hair, light beard, wearing a dark shirt with rolled sleeves. Background filled with fire, smoke, explosions, and a chaotic city battlefield. Strong orange and teal color grading, cinematic lighting, high contrast shadows, dust particles in air. Low angle shot to make the character look dominant and larger than life. Add subtle blood stains and sweat for realism. Include dramatic sky with storm clouds and sparks flying. Ultra-detailed face, sharp focus, 8K resolution.Title text “DHURANDHAR” in bold metallic cracked font at the bottom, glowing edges, cinematic typography. Add tagline above in small text: “Honsla, Endhan, Badla.” Include lens flare, film grain, and epic atmosphere.”

Dhurandhar Hamza-styled photo

You can also portray yourself as Hamza, the protagonist from Dhurandhar. Just like the previous prompt, there’s not much going around, since you would have to share a portrait of yourself, along with an image of Hamza from the movie for a reference image. 

Copy and paste this prompt:

“Use the provided image as the base reference. Preserve the exact cinematic composition, lighting, motion blur, background, color grading, and overall gritty action aesthetic of the original Dhurandhar-style poster. Replace the main character’s face and identity with the uploaded reference image of me, ensuring a highly realistic match in skin tone, facial structure, beard style (if applicable), and expression. Maintain the same intense, focused look and running pose. Keep the long flowing hair, muscular build, outfit, and body proportions consistent with the original, adapting subtly to match my likeness naturally. The transition between my face and the body should be seamless and photorealistic. Preserve the weapon position, grip, and motion blur effects exactly as in the original image. Ensure proper lighting, shadows, and depth so my face blends perfectly into the scene. Maintain the dramatic action feel with dust, speed trails, and cinematic blur. Keep the typography and title placement unchanged unless specified otherwise. Output should look like a high-budget Bollywood action movie poster featuring me as the lead character.”

Dhurandhar Jameel Jameli-styled photo

Last but not least, we also have one of the most viral Jameel Jameli-styled photos in our lineup. This image can be created by picking a reference meme image from the internet and using a simple prompt. Customisation options are a lot of fun, as the object, as well as the text can be changed based on how you like it.

Copy and paste this prompt:

“Use the provided image as the base reference. Preserve the character’s face, expression, pose, hairstyle, beard, outfit, lighting, and overall cinematic Dhurandhar-style look exactly as is — do not alter identity or proportions in any way. Replace the object in his hand with a highly realistic [reference image], ensuring correct perspective, grip, lighting, shadows, and scale so it naturally blends into the scene. The hand position must remain unchanged, and the object should look physically held, not pasted. Add handwritten-style meme text in a slightly rough, desi marker/brush font: “Bachcha hai tu mera, [text you want]…” Place the text either at the top or side, ensuring it doesn’t block the face. Use off-white or light yellow color with slight glow or shadow for readability against the intense background. Enhance the meme feel with: •⁠ ⁠Slight vignette for focus •⁠ ⁠Subtle sharpening on face •⁠ ⁠Natural skin texture (no over-smoothing) •⁠ ⁠Balanced highlights to keep a cinematic”

Artificial intelligence is something that has been changing how we do things. Since its inception, the tool has been used for various purposes because AI can generate content, answer questions, and assist with complex tasks, but it only performs as well as the instructions it receives. This helps the AI understand exactly what it is required to do. By being specific in what we ask the AI to do, the responses we get will be top-notch, hence saving time. The art of writing prompts is a skill that one needs to master in today's world. In this article, I will show you how to write effective prompts for the AI.

1. Focus on a single goal

Start by choosing one clear goal for your AI prompt. Don’t add too many questions or tasks, because it can confuse the AI. However, focusing on a single objective allows the AI to provide a precise and useful answer. If you want to ask more questions or have issues with the current response, then you can refine the current prompt or ask follow-up questions for more information.

2. Know your audience

If you're using AI to generate content for others, then knowing who will read or view it makes the output of the AI tool as per the expectations. To get a response that goes well with your audience, you need to include details like demographics, preferences, and the type of response expected. Furthermore, you can also specify the tone, style, and format to ensure the content fits your intended purpose.

3. Be clear and precise

Another thing that helps in writing effective prompts for AI tools is the clarity in your prompts. While the AI tools can interpret casual language, simple and direct instructions reduce the chances of errors and prevent misunderstandings. Furthermore, try to avoid vague prompts and provide context wherever possible. The more specific the information you include, the better the AI can deliver content that meets your expectations.

4. Provide examples

What's better if you could receive a tutorial for a job that you're doing for the first time? The same goes for the AI tools as well. If you could provide them with examples of the output you are expecting from them, then you could receive a response that meets your expectations. For example, if you want the AI to write in a certain style or format, you can show it a sample or template. The AI will then copy the same format, tone, and level of detail. You can give it any kind of example, like a product description, article, report, or even an image.

That's it!

Writing good prompts helps you use AI much better. It turns AI from just a tool into a helpful assistant. To do this, focus on one task at a time, know who you are writing for, keep your message clear and short, and give examples when needed. Anyone can use these tips to make AI create content more easily. As AI becomes a bigger part of work and creativity, knowing how write effective prompts for AI tools will be very useful.

OpenAI killed its image and video generation platform, Sora, without much explanation a few days back. Ever since the news broke out, the internet has been in complete shambles. While there’s not much we know about why it happened, those who used the platform have been actively trying to find alternatives to it. Most recently, Elon Musk has been pushing Grok’s Imagine as an alternative for its image and video generation capabilities. And to be honest, it’s surprisingly a very good tool for that purpose. So, without wasting much time, let’s explore how you can use Grok Imagine with ease.

Over on X, he tweeted out suggesting that the next Grok Imagine release is going to be ‘epic’. He further suggests that the team are ‘doubling down’, meaning that their next release will have more new features involved.

Just below Musk’s tweet, the official Grok account tweeted out, ‘Can't wait! Grok Imagine v2 is going to blow minds with next-level creativity and realism. Doubling down on the fun.’ While we’re still not sure about the release date for the next Grok imagine version, it should be interesting to see what all features it would bring to the table.

Professional headshots used to mean wearing a suit, going to a studio, setting the lights and paying a photographer. Now, with AI image tools from Google Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, you can generate a polished, LinkedIn-ready portrait from even a basic smartphone selfie in under five minutes. 

Here's a step by step process on how to do it on both platforms, along with the prompt that will help you get the desired image.

Step-by-step guide for generating Linkedin profile pic

Step 1: Pick your face shot

Pick a clear photo of yourself facing the camera directly. Don’t have any sunglasses or filters. Remember, the cleaner your source image, the more accurate the AI's output will be. Natural light works the best because harsh overhead lighting or flash can confuse the model's skin-tone correction. I am using this image of Virat Kohli as an example.

Step 2: Upload it to ChatGPT or Gemini

Open ChatGPT or Gemini, start a new chat and select the Images or create image option and attach your photo.

Step 3: Prompt for generating LinkedIn profile pic 

Both platforms use the same base prompt. Copy it, then tweak the details – clothing colour, background tone, crop ratio – to suit your use case:

"Transform this photo into a high-resolution professional corporate headshot, preserving the subject's exact facial features, structure, and likeness. The subject is wearing a premium tailored charcoal gray blazer over a crisp white shirt, looking directly at the camera with a confident, approachable smile. Apply even, flattering softbox studio lighting that eliminates harsh shadows, corrects uneven skin tones, and creates a clean, bright professional look. Sharpen the eyes and face for maximum clarity while keeping skin retouching subtle and natural – smooth minor blemishes without over-editing. Ensure the hair looks neat and well-defined. The background should be a neutral, slightly blurred deep burgundy tone with no distracting elements. Crop to a head-and-shoulders composition with the face centered and taking up roughly 60–70% of the frame, rendered in 9:16 ratio with 85mm portrait lens style depth of field. The final image should be extremely detailed, DSLR quality, and look polished and confident – suitable for a LinkedIn profile or a Fortune 500 company directory."

ChatGPT or Gemini: Which generates better LinkedIn pic?

We ran the same prompt through both platforms on the same source photo of Virat Kohli – you can see the results attached. I felt ChatGPT preserved grooming details better and held the beard structure and hair texture closer to the original. Gemini gave a cleaner, softened look that some may prefer. (Note: Gemini does add a watermark to the bottom right of the image.)

Neither is objectively better. It comes down to the look you're going for. Try both, adjust the prompt for your specific use case, compare the outputs side by side, and you have your next LinkedIn profile picture generated in minutes to enhance your professional look.

Amongst the battle of AI chatbots, the average users are the ones who benefit the most. That’s because they always have the option to switch from one chatbot to another, helping them get the most out of the tools. Though a major issue that remains is the memory. If you interact with one chatbot a lot, it starts to understand you better, helping to give results better suited towards your needs. To tackle this problem, most AI companies have been actively bringing memory import prompts, which allow switching from one chatbot to another. Most recently, Google has introduced the same for their Gemini. Let’s take a look at how you can import your ChatGPT memory into Google Gemini with ease. 

Also Read: You can get YouTube Premium free for 2 months, here is how

How does the import memory feature work?

In case you’re confused about how exactly the feature works, worry not, as there’s not much going on. It’s pretty simple: In one place, you have an AI chatbot, which gives out the export prompt, which you are required to paste into the chatbot whose memory you wish to get.

Once you input the command, the source chatbot will recall everything you talked about and create a file/text document for the chatbot you wish to import the memory to. Now, on the other chatbot, you can simply copy and paste the output given. Once done, all the previous details would get imported into the new chatbot's memory. 

Before Google, Anthropic’s Claude introduced support for this feature. Though reports also suggest that Google could also be working on a feature that would allow users to import all their chats from multiple AI chatbots and put them into Gemini at once. However, currently, it remains unclear when this feature could come out. 

Step-by-step guide on importing ChatGPT memory to Google Gemini

Note: Currently, the feature hasn’t rolled out to everyone, but it is available on the beta version of the Gemini application, as reported by Android Authority. 

Once the feature does roll out, though, you can follow the steps mentioned below to import memory from ChatGPT to Gemini:

1. First up, open the Google Gemini application on your phone.
2. Once you’re there, click on the top-left side, where your profile picture would be located.
3. Scroll down, and just below the Connected Apps feature, you should be able to see a button that reads, ‘Import memory to Gemini'; click on it.
4. At the top, you should be able to see the prompt, which needs to be copied. Click on the copy button to copy the prompt onto your clipboard. 
5. Now, open the ChatGPT application on your phone, and paste it into a new chat window.
6. ChatGPT should give out a detailed response; simply copy the response given out. 
7. Go back into the Gemini application now, and in the same 'Import memory to Gemini’ section, you should also see the option to paste the given output.
8. Paste the output and press the ‘Add memory’ option to update your Google Gemini’s memory. 

After you’re done, Google Gemini should now have all the previous details shared by you. With that said, I hope you understood exactly how you can use the latest feature to import memory from ChatGPT to Gemini. For more such handy guides, keep on reading Digit.in

YouTube Premium is often cited by most users as the best subscription service in the market for the value it provides. The option for no ads on YouTube already makes it exciting, but what’s more is that the service even offers additional features that make the watching experience better.

Since it’s a free trial of YouTube Premium, many often wonder if there will be any restrictions compared to the regular version. Though thankfully, there’s nothing like this because the free trial offers all the same features from YouTube Premium, like ad-free YouTube videos, support for background playback, and even gets offline downloads of videos at full HD quality. 

Step-by-step guide to get YouTube Premium for free

Let’s now move ahead and take a look at how you can claim the YouTube Premium 2-month offer. Simply follow the steps mentioned below:

• On your phone, open the YouTube application. 
• In there, head on over to the bottom left side to access the ‘You’ tab.
• Scroll down below, and you should see the ‘Get YouTube Premium’ button; simply click on it. 
• There should be a screen displaying the 2 months free offer, while mentioning the terms and conditions along with it. 
• Click on ‘Try 2 months for ₹0’ to claim the offer.
• Simply add your payment methods if you haven’t already, and you should be able to claim the offer without any issues. 

In case you don’t see the option to claim the offer, that’s normal because the free trial hasn’t rolled out to every user. It’s only available to select users. If you don’t see it on your account, it is recommended to check it on other YouTube accounts as well, preferably new accounts or those that haven’t claimed any previous offers before.

Also Read: How to automate Claude and complete your important tasks: Step-by-step process

How does the feature work?

With the help of the ChatGPT Library, any files that you upload or create in the AI chatbot window will now be saved under a new library section. This allows for finding those saved files much more easily for reusing them later, as there’s an option to search those files using either the name or the file type. 

As of now, the Library is only available on the web version, and while ChatGPT will automatically save uploaded and created files, this does not include all sorts of files. The AI-generated images created using ChatGPT will still continue to appear in the dedicated ‘Images’ tab in the app.

Requirements for ChatGPT Library

Before we actually dive into how you can use the latest ChatGPT library feature, you need to make sure you meet the general requirements set by OpenAI. That’s because the feature isn’t currently available for everyone. In their official blog post, OpenAI announced that the latest Library feature is currently only available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Business users. 

Not only that, but as of now, there are a few region-related restrictions. Currently, the feature works in most regions across the world. However, if you’re in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, the feature isn’t available as of now. Thankfully, India remains unaffected, since the feature is rolling out here. 

Step-by-step guide on using ChatGPT Library

Follow the steps mentioned below to add or remove a file from the ChatGPT Library: 

Adding a saved file to ChatGPT Library 

• Open the ChatGPT web application on your web browser.
• Once there, click on the composer menu, located around the add button.
• In there, select Add from library to add the file.
• Simply choose the file you want to use, and the particular file will be added to the ChatGPT Library. 

Deleting a file from the ChatGPT Library 

• First up, open the ChatGPT web application on your web browser.
• In there, visit the ‘Library’ tab.
• Once there, scroll down or search for the file you want to delete.
• Upon finding the file, select the file and click on the delete button, or click the delete icon next to the file.

In recent times, Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude has gotten very smart, with various new features that are helping users ease their work. Just recently, the company introduced a new feature called Claude Cowork and Dispatch, which has been making headlines ever since its introduction. It’s very useful, as it almost works like magic, where it is possible to completely automate your important tasks, even when you’re not at your desk. Though many have been wondering how to enable and use this feature. But worry not, as I’m going to give you a step-by-step guide on how you can use this feature with ease. 

Also Read: How to reorder Instagram carousel images and videos after publishing

How does the feature work?

Claude’s new Cowork feature works pretty seamlessly, thanks to Dispatch, which has been introduced within the Claude app itself. It connects via the Claude desktop application on macOS, and using that, it becomes possible to automate tasks, even when you’re not at your desk. 

The company is targeting the feature in such a way that it becomes a seamless integration. For example, this feature would allow starting work before reaching the office and continuing it once they've reached it. Users would just have to follow up from the desktop once they sit down.  

The feature works with most of the connected applications, based on the user’s preference. It becomes useful, as it would allow automating a lot of things that were not previously possible. That’s mostly because Claude would have full access to run your computer. Every time a user deploys a command, they get a notification on their device after the task is done.

Interestingly, all the automation is taking place within a single thread on the mobile and desktop app. What this means is that instead of starting a new session for each task, users would have access to a single thread with Claude. The best part is that, given that the thread won’t reset, Claude will retain context from previous tasks, making the integration seamless.

Prerequisites to follow

Before diving in, there are a few things that users need to make sure of, since the feature is quite new and will not be available for everyone. So there are a few requirements that need to be met beforehand. Check them out below:

• Computer running macOS (no Windows or Linux support as of now)
• The latest version of Claude for macOS
• Claude on either Android or iOS (latest version)
• A valid Pro or Max Claude plan
• Internet connection on both macOS and phone  

Step-by-step guide to automate tasks with Claude

Since the process requires connecting both your mobile application and the desktop application, the process can get a bit lengthy. But we’ve tried to break down the whole thing with ease so that users don’t have any trouble following the process. Follow the steps mentioned below to automate your tasks using Claude:

• First up, on your desktop running macOS, download and install the latest version of the Claude desktop application.
• Next, download and install the mobile app on either an Android or iOS device.
• Open the Claude desktop app, and click on ‘Cowork’. 
• Once there, click on "Dispatch", which should be located on the left side panel.
• Click on the “Get started” button to connect your mobile phone with the desktop app.
• Claude will ask for a few permissions on your desktop, which would need to be enabled in order to use the features. Just click on each of them to enable it.
• Once that’s done, click on the ‘Finish setup’ button.
• Now go back to the Dispatch section, where you will be able to automate your tasks with Claude. 

Hope you understood how you can automate all your important tasks via the Claude Cowork and Dispatch features!

Users' reactions

Instagram users have widely praised the feature on social media. However, many of them also showed their frustration, stating that it's a long-overdue update. They also brought up the times when they had to scrap the whole post just to change the order of the images or videos in the post.

With the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series and the One UI 8.5 update, Samsung has introduced a variety of new features. These new updates have put a lot of focus on the connectivity-related upgrades, as the company has a bunch of features that enhance the ecosystem connectivity. Most recently, though, Samsung has introduced support for using Quick Share with Apple’s AirDrop. This allows users to share files between their Samsung phones and Apple devices without the need for any third-party tools or services. Let’s quickly take a deep dive into how you can use the feature on your Galaxy S26 Ultra and other supported Samsung devices.

Follow the steps mentioned below to enable the feature:

• First up, go to the settings menu on your Samsung Galaxy S26 series device.
• In there, visit the ‘Connected Device’ page, which should be at the top of the menu.
• Once inside, you’ll see the option for ‘Quick Share'; tap that button.

• Go to the page, and just tap the enable button.
• Once done, you will now be able to use the AirDrop data transfer feature on your Samsung Galaxy S26 series device. 

Now every time you want to transfer a file to a nearby Apple device, you can simply click on a file and use the Samsung Quick Share. In there, you’ll be able to see all your Apple devices that have AirDrop running. Both sharing and receiving data are supported via this feature. 

AirDrop data transfer on Samsung: Eligible devices 

As per the official Samsung blog post, the update has started rolling out on the latest S26 series. This includes the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Galaxy S26+, and the base Galaxy S26.

Samsung also announced that support for older Galaxy devices will be released later. Though they haven’t announced any release timeline for the updates so far. Safe to say, users of previous models have to wait a while before they can share files with their friends on iPhone.

Social media has become an essential part of daily life. It's no longer just a way to connect with our loved ones, as it has evolved into a major platform for consuming a wide range of content, including entertainment, emotional stories, and news. Although social media keeps us informed, it has recently witnessed a surge in the spread of fake news on these platforms. Fake news is spreading like a virus and is reaching thousands of people before the truth catches up. Furthermore, this trend has contributed to growing public fear and confusion. So, to put a stop to that, in this guide I'll tell you simple and practical steps to identify and avoid fake news on social media.

1. Use Google Fact Check Tool to verify fake news

One of the easiest ways of verifying the facts is using the Google Fact Check Tools. It enables the user to verify whether the facts have already been verified or not. Here's how you can use the Google Fact Check tool to verify social media news:

1. Visit the Google Fact Check Tools website.

2. Enter the keywords or the claim you want to verify.

3. Explore the facts from verified sources.

4. Read the explanation and the verdict.

Compare the facts with the viral post before believing or sharing the content.

2. Verify news with Press Information Bureau (PIB)

The Press Information Bureau is the official source for information from the government of India. They provide regular clarifications on fake news concerning government policies, schemes, and other announcements.

To check the authenticity of news, you can visit the official website of the Press Information Bureau. Alternatively, you could also check out the official PIB Fact Check X handle of this government body, as they also check out the authenticity of news on this platform. This way, you would also be updated and would not fall for fake news concerning the government.

3. Check updates from All India Radio News

Another trusted source to verify if news being shared on social media is fake or not is All India Radio News. The AIR is a government-owned public service broadcaster, and its website contains authentic news about events happening around the world.

In addition to this, you can also follow AIR News on X, as they keep posting news and verified news updates. Moreover, you can also follow them on Instagram so you don’t have to switch between apps to verify news.

4. Spot the signs of fake news

While relying on the official bodies is a good thing, you can also spot fake news yourself. Here are some of the things you can check before trusting and sharing any news on your social media:

• Look if a post or a video is specifically designed to grab attention and create panic.
• Check if a source is given, like a website or the name of the author.
• Look for spelling and grammar mistakes, as fake news mostly has a poor writing style.
• If there are visuals attached, then search if there are watermarks of any AI tool.
• AI-generated videos and images also have inconsistencies.
• A news post can likely be fake if it urges you to share quickly without thinking.

Think before you share

Before forwarding any message, ask yourself if the information is verified and comes from a trusted source. Responsible sharing can help reduce the spread of fake news and make social media a safer space for everyone.

Many households in India are facing problems in booking gas cylinders as global energy supplies are under pressure. The situation has been linked to rising tensions between the United States, Iran and Israel. Reports say that Iran has restricted movement around the important shipping route called the Strait of Hormuz. This route is used by ships carrying oil and natural gas from Gulf countries such as Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Oman. Any disruption here can affect energy supplies across the world. As a result, LPG supply has become tight in some places, making it harder for people to book cooking gas cylinders.

However, if you want to book an Indane gas cylinder, you can do so via WhatsApp. You do not need to call the distributor or visit the gas agency. A simple WhatsApp message can be used to place the booking. Here's a simple step-by-step guide to help you out.

The WhatsApp booking service is available for customers whose mobile numbers are already linked to their LPG connection. If your number is not registered, you will first need to update it with your distributor.

Other ways to book an Indane LPG cylinder

Customers can also book their LPG refill in other ways. These include using the Indane mobile app, booking through the official website, making a call through the IVRS system, or visiting the local LPG distributor.

Many LPG consumers in India are now asked to complete e-KYC to keep their gas connection active and continue receiving subsidies. Earlier, people often had to visit a gas agency and submit documents physically. Now the process has become much easier because Aadhaar Face Authentication allows users to complete LPG e-KYC directly from home using a smartphone. This digital process also helps in saving time and avoids standing in lines at gas agencies. Through the use of Aadhaar verification and face scan, consumers can easily verify their identity.

The idea is to give you an idea of how to move beyond your all creative limits, conceptually. The more detailed prompts you give out, the better images Nano Banana is going to give out. If you’re having trouble writing the prompts, we would recommend using the prompt enhancer tools available on the web, as they’re very useful in these situations. 

Another small tip is to just give out reference images to the tool and not just the prompts. Even though Gemini is smart enough to understand the language of prompts, it’s always better to give out reference images too, so that the results are as accurate as possible. 

Cinematic portraits 

First up, talking about portraits, cinematic portraits are something that is getting quite popular these days. And the most interesting thing that Gemini does is how well it is able to play with lighting. The latest Nano Banana 2 responds very well to lighting descriptions. Adding terms like ‘side lighting’ or ‘golden hour’ gives image-generation tools a good sense of the image's nature, resulting in far more cinematic portraits.

To enhance an image into a cinematic portrait, follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Gemini, and open a new chat window
2. In the chat box, drop an already clicked portrait picture 
3. Use the prompt like this: "A close-up portrait of a young person with deep-set eyes, dramatic side lighting, film grain texture, shot on 35mm, golden hour glow, shallow depth of field, 16:9 aspect ratio, wide cinematic frame."
4. Press enter and wait for Nano Banana to process the result 
5. Once done, just click on the image and press 'download' to save the image locally 

Street portraits 

Street photography is awesome; capturing the vibes of a busy street often gives off some exceptional images. Though, not everyone has a professional camera which could capture the raw emotions. But with the help of Nano Banana 2, it’s very much possible to enhance some great portraits while also capturing the vibes of the street. Gemini really likes listening to prompts with local names and cities, so you can go as detailed as you want, and the tool will be very accurate. 

To enhance an image into a street portrait, follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Gemini, and open a new chat window
2. In the chat box, drop an already clicked street potrait picture
3. Use this prompt: "A candid street portrait of a person in a busy Mumbai market, weathered skin texture, authentic expression, photorealistic, overcast natural light, documentary style, 16:9 wide frame, environmental context visible."
4. Press enter and wait for Nano Banana to process the result 
5. Once done, just click on the image and press 'download' to save the image locally 

Double-exposure portraits

Trust me when I say this, but double-exposure portraits are something that is extremely hard to pull off. Not only do you need great lighting and a good environment, but more importantly, it’s essential to have know-how of every single camera setting possible, be it the ISO, shutter speed, exposure, aperture or everything else. 

For beginners, it’s close to impossible to capture something like this. But with the help of Gemini and Nano Banana 2, it’s getting very easy. As long as you have a good portrait for reference and you use a well-detailed prompt, the tool will be able to give out some exceptional shots. 

To enhance an image into a double-exposure portrait, follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Gemini, and open a new chat window
2. In the chat box, drop an already clicked portrait picture
3. Use the prompt: "A double exposure portrait of a woman merged with a dense forest at dusk, soft greens bleeding into skin tones, ethereal and contemplative, fine art photography style, 16:9 widescreen, subject framed left with negative space right." 
4. Press enter and wait for Nano Banana to process the result 
5. Once done, just click on the image and press 'download' to save the image locally 

Anime-styled portraits 

Moving on, we also have anime-styled portraits. These types of images are never going out of fashion, because of the way the results come out. A few months back, the Ghibli trend became very popular because of ChatGPT too. But moving beyond that, let’s have a look at some other styles too. Gemini really pairs environmental detail like rain or neon lighting that makes the anime art pop. 

To create an anime-styled portrait, follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Gemini, and open a new chat window
2. Download some samples of abstract images, and attach them for reference 
3. Use this prompt: "A young anime person standing on a rain-soaked Tokyo rooftop at night, neon city lights reflecting on wet surfaces, Studio Ghibli-inspired art style, soft cel shading, vibrant colours, detailed background, 16:9 widescreen, cinematic anime composition"
4. Press enter and wait for Nano Banana to process the result 
5. Once done, just click on the image and press 'download' to save the image locally. 

Festival special portraits 

Last but not least, if you’re a fan of festival special images and are willing to try something new, then you should definitely give this Holi image a shot. On Nano Banana 2, when you describe emotion words like "mid-celebration" and "laughing expression", it pushes the model toward dynamic, energetic images rather than static posed shots.

To create a festival special image, Holi in this case, follow the steps below:

1. Open Google Gemini, and open a new chat window
2. Attach a reference portrait image 
3. Use the prompt: "A joyful young person mid-celebration during Holi, face and hair drenched in vibrant pink and yellow powder, laughing expression, bokeh background of colour clouds, photorealistic with painterly finish, warm afternoon sunlight, 16:9 widescreen, subject centred with colour explosions filling the frame."
4. Press enter and wait for Nano Banana to process the result. 
5. Once done, just click on the image and press 'download' to save the image locally. 

Hopefully, you learned a few things about creating images with Nano Banana 2 and how detailed prompts can help you get there with relative ease. Enjoy creating images with Nano Banana 2!

Summers are around the corner, and as the weather begins to get warmer, the air conditioner will become the most important machine in your house. Most people usually wait until the first hot day to think about servicing their AC, but that usually leads to high costs and long wait times. As the peak season approaches, the demand for AC servicing rises rapidly across many cities in India. This surge in demand often results in higher prices, with brands and technicians increasing service charges by 5% to 15%. Booking your AC service online before the seasonal rush is a simple way to avoid these issues. Here’s a complete guide to help you book your AC service online before the seasonal price hike hits your pocket.

Choose the Right Platform for AC Service

Finding a good AC technician has become much easier because many online options are available today. You can choose the platform that fits your needs and situation.

1. Direct brand apps or websites: The best way to get your AC service done is to call the brand directly. Especially if your AC is still under warranty. You can book service through the apps or websites of companies like Daikin, LG, and Voltas. A trained technician will come to your house, look at the AC, and replace any broken parts with new ones if necessary. This is also safer for new AC models because the company's workers know how to fix them.

2. Multi-brand service platforms: If you want quick and convenient service, multi-brand platforms can be helpful. Apps like Urban Company and NoBroker let you book AC servicing easily. They usually show the price before booking and offer services like jet spray or foam cleaning. Some of these platforms also give a short service warranty, which gives customers extra peace of mind.

3. Local service marketplaces: You can also search for local technicians through websites like Justdial or even Google Maps. These websites help you locate service providers near your location. These websites are helpful when you need urgent service. In some cases, you can even call your technician directly and talk about the cost before availing of the service.

How to book your service online

Follow the steps below to book an AC service online:

1. Download and install the app you want to book an appointment from. Alternatively, you can also head to the company's website. 

2. Create an account or log in to your old account.

3. Enter your location details if asked.

4. Select the type of service you need. For example, basic cleaning, refilling, fixing something, or full service.

5. Fill out information about your AC. This could include the brand, model, and number of units that need to be serviced.

6. Pick a date and time for the AC service that works for you.

7. Check price details and the services included. If correct, then hit the confirm button.

8. Once booked, you'll get a confirmation message with the technician's information.

Expert tips 

To get the most out of your professional service, keep these tips in mind:

• Always ask if the service includes a guarantee. Most providers offer a 15–30 day guarantee. If the AC stops cooling soon after the visit, they should fix it for free.
• Consider annual maintenance plans if you use your AC regularly. These plans often include two or more services in a year at a lower combined price.
• Before the technician arrives, make sure there is enough space around the indoor and outdoor units.
• Ask the professional to check the gas levels and the health of the wiring. Finding a small leak now can save you from a total breakdown later.
• For safety, always check the ID card of the professional when they arrive at your door.
• Check technician ratings and customer reviews. Higher rated professionals usually provide better service quality.
• Run your AC for at least 15 to 30 mins once the service is done.

Benefits of early AC service booking

Booking your AC service early offers several benefits. Here are some of them:

• AC service costs are usually lower when compared to peak summer.
• You can make an appointment that works for you without having to wait long.
• Cleaning and checking your AC early on will help it cool down faster and more effectively.
• A properly maintained air conditioner uses less energy.
• Getting your AC serviced early lowers the chance that it will break down in the middle of summer.

Meta has introduced a new parent-managed account feature on WhatsApp. This feature allows parents or guardians to create and manage WhatsApp accounts for children under the required age limit. Once set up, parents can decide who can contact their child, which groups they can join, and manage several settings. This will make sure that younger users can communicate safely while still staying connected with family and friends. Keep reading to know more details about the feature and how to set it up.

What is a parent-managed WhatsApp account?

A parent-managed account is designed for children under 13 years old (or below the minimum age required in their country or region). These accounts must be created and controlled by a parent or guardian who is at least 18 years old.

Parents can manage their child’s experience on WhatsApp. For example, they can approve or reject message requests from unknown contacts, control which groups they can join, and manage privacy settings. Access to these controls is protected by a parent PIN.

All personal chats remain protected with end-to-end encryption, which means that messages and calls cannot be read or listened to by anyone else, including WhatsApp.

Entering your UPI PIN for every transaction can be slow and frustrating. On top of that, you need to be careful about people around you while typing your PIN. Biometric payments solve this problem by allowing you to authorise transactions instantly using your fingerprint or Face ID. The method not only keeps your account safe but also eliminates the need for the repeated hassle of entering a PIN. Although it may seem complicated at first, setting it up is simple. Here is a detailed guide on how to enable UPI biometric payments using your fingerprint or Face ID.

Things to know

Before you proceed to learn how to enable UPI biometric payments using fingerprint or Face ID without a PIN, check out the following points:

• Initially the transfer is capped at Rs 5,000 per transaction for security reasons.
• If the feature is not used for 90 days, you must re-verify with a PIN.
• Biometrics are automatically disabled if you reset your UPI PIN or change your phone’s system lock.

Prerequisites for UPI activation

Here are some of the things you need to ensure prior to setting up your UPI biometric payments:

• Your smartphone must have a functional fingerprint scanner or facial recognition hardware.
• Make sure that your device is not an Android device that is rooted or an iPhone that is jailbroken.
• The UPI app you want to use for the biometric-based payments should be up-to-date.
• Your bank account must be linked to your Aadhaar, as the system often leverages Aadhaar-based biometric data for the initial backend verification.

We’ve all been there, be it in those college group presentations or those work meeting presentations. It becomes quite difficult to make slides that cover all the data points while looking good, especially in such a short time period. But thanks to the developments made in AI, this job is getting easier day by day. With AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, it is very easy to create professional presentations in just a few minutes, with just a few steps. Let me guide you in how to do so with ease.

Reason for using multiple AI tools 

Most might wonder why not just use a single AI tool to create professional presentations. Well, you see, different tools are good for different purposes. While one tool is good at arranging the data points and getting the overall content. The others will be more useful for different purposes, like making the presentation more ‘presentable’ so that it looks much cleaner and more professional. That is the reason for this guide; we’re utilising both the tools that include ChatGPT and Claude. 

Using Claude to get the content 

Because of Claude’s long context window and given that it brings a more writer-like tone, it makes it ideal for turning all those messy ideas in your head into a presentable form for your professional presentations. For example, we can use a prompt like this to create structured slides:

 "I need to create a [Number]-slide presentation for [Audience you’re targeting] about [Topic of your choice]. The goal is to [your goal for the presentation].

Please provide:
1. An outline of the narrative arc.
2. For each slide: a concise headline, 3 bullet points (max 10 words each), and a suggested visual/image description."

Once you’re done and Claude gives out the output, save it and head on over to ChatGPT.

Refining the presentation using ChatGPT

We would now bring the presentation into ChatGPT to make it look appealing and presentable. Think of it as the last stage of the presentation, as right after that, you’d be able to finalise the entire presentation. Use the prompt below:

“I have created the structure and content for a presentation. Please refine it to make it clearer, more engaging, and presentation-ready.

Improve:
1. Slide titles to make them more impactful
2. Bullet points so they are concise and easy to present
3. Flow between slides
4. Language so it sounds professional but simple
5. Add suggestions for visuals, charts, or icons where relevant

Do NOT change the core meaning of the content. Only refine and improve readability and presentation quality.

Here is the presentation content:
[Paste your slides here]”

By utilising both the tools with these prompts, you’ve been able to make some of the best-looking presentations that would have all the correct data points with enough content to make the entire presentation stand out.
