Claude audits your Meta Ads, Chrome adds AI Skills, Microsoft upgrades images

Today in AI: Claude audits your ad account, Chrome turns prompts into one-click tools, and Microsoft quietly upgrades image generation.

👋 Hello hello,

Three things worth your attention: a Claude skill that audits your Meta Ads spend in 5 minutes, Claude Code now runs sessions in parallel, and Microsoft is undercutting the image-gen market on cost.

Let's get into it.

 🔥🔥🔥 Three Highly Curated AI Stories

A new Claude Cowork skill takes a Meta Ads CSV export and returns a full account audit, scored across six dimensions: creative health, audience efficiency, budget allocation, and three more. Here’s how:

  • It calculates wasted spend in real dollars, flagging specific ads with spend and zero purchases

  • The output is a fix list ranked by dollar impact, so you know which ad to kill first

  • No API connection, no account access, no permissions dance — just a CSV upload and a prompt

Meta's native reporting buries the answer in 27 columns. This skill collapses a multi-hour weekly task into a single upload and beats most agency audit decks people pay four figures for.

The Claude Code desktop app shipped a redesign with a sidebar that lets you run multiple sessions side by side from one window.

Key details:

  • One session for debugging, one for planning, one for writing — all live, no context loss

  • Each session keeps its own state, so switching tasks doesn't reset what you were doing

  • The sidebar handles session management, killing the multi-window juggling act most heavy users were already hacking together

This is the update that turns Claude Code from a chat interface into a workspace. For anyone using it daily, it'll save more hours per week than any model bump on the roadmap.

Microsoft's new image model, MAI-Image-2, is optimized for compute efficiency rather than benchmark wins.

Pay attention to:

  • The pitch is comparable output quality at a fraction of the inference cost

  • Aimed at production use cases — design ops, ad creative, e-commerce — where teams generate thousands of assets a week

  • Slots into Microsoft's broader play to own the enterprise image stack via Copilot and Azure

The frontier image race used to be one game: who makes the prettiest pixel. Now it's two. Microsoft isn't trying to beat Midjourney on aesthetics; it's trying to make image gen cheap enough to embed in every business workflow.

🔥🔥 Two Pro AI Tips

Chrome now lets you save any Gemini prompt as a reusable Skill, triggered by / or a plus button. "Summarize this doc," "compare products across these tabs," "rewrite this email" — all one click on whatever page you're on. Repetitive prompts become shortcuts.

You can now trigger tasks on your computer from your phone via the Claude app. Send a command, your computer runs it, and you get a screenshot back when it's done. If it needs input mid-task, it pings you. Useful for kicking off long-running jobs and walking out the door. See how to set this up.

🔥 Things You Didn’t Know

You're already paying for them. You're just not using them.

Most people never discover the shortcuts that turn Docs into decision engines, Sheets into data pipelines, or Gmail into a productivity machine.

The people who do move faster.
They organize better.
They forget less.

These aren't buried in settings or hidden behind paywalls. We put together seven that pay back the most time. Each one takes under a minute to set up. Most people who try the first one end up running through all seven the same evening
