At GCash’s Futurecast event, Globe revealed exciting new announcements for everything that’s new and improved on the GCash app. This includes a variety of new services that users of the app should certainly take note of. Check out the rundown below.
GInvest
Starting with GInvest, an in-app feature that allows any GCash consumer to invest as little as PhP 50 in various GCash partners in ATRAM. This easier mode of investing is an amazing way to start for the young and inexperienced. The interest of the general public regarding investing has been on an ascent for the past few years; and now is the perfect time to do so with GInvest.

The partnership of GInsure and Singlife allows GCash users to have affordable insurance; granted if they do invest with the small fee of PhP 300. GInvest covers your accidents and sickness for a small fee, and not only that; you can now join the thousands of users to experience the benefits of GInvest.
GSave
GSave and CIMB Bank allows users to experience a hassle-free savings experience with no fees, maintaining balance and initial deposit, this is surely a more convenient way to open a savings account. We also need to mention that the annual interest rate of GSave is 4 percent — it’s even higher than the interest rates of the leading banks! Auto-deposits are also available as long as you have sufficient balance to activate this feature.
GCredit
Get your credit scores up as GCredit is now here to assist you in your financial needs. No more need of borrowing money from friends and relatives, GCash is here to save the day. Increase your score by paying dues on time and see the interest rates go down! You can also increase your scores by using the services offered by Gcash.
GLife
You can now browse through over 30 different brands and necessities by using GLife, aslo paying for the services within the app makes it so much easier to enjoy.
GCash QR
GCash offers a swift and easy way to transfer and receive money, but the rational beings we are, mistakes are inevitable. The app offers a secure way of transferring funds via QR codes, which is probably the best way to transfer funds in a secure manner.
GCash teams up with OFWs
The e-wallet makes its presence felt overseas as our beloved OFW are now introduced to another mode of fund transferring. Via P2P, OFW’s can now send money to a Philippine bank account with no latency. Remittances made easy by GCash!
GCash and CHED for the students
Surely we have been taught how to save and compute expenses and savings, GCash and CHED (Commission on Higher Education) hopes to improve financial literacy for the future generations. Partnering with BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas), DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) and GoNegosyo; we are looking forward to the increase of financial literacy among the students.
GCash proudces materials for financial literacy
This gives users another product that can help with the understanding of finances. From talk shows to games, GCash surely invested in the financial sector to help users to reach their goal.
Hackathon
Social problems have always been around but Globe seems to have another plan to find solutions to end the problems being faced by the affected population.
G Na! Ideas para sa Pinas
A collaboration competition for the participants as they generate new and fresh ideas that can be applied to our society.
GCash for Good
NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) taking action in difficult crisis situations.

It seems that GCash has already been planning for the future generations, with a huge focus on finance, we can expect GCash to have numerous new users in the months to follow.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT
Compatible with most keyboards and mice
Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.
Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.
Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.
Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.
While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Despite the ease that the technology promises, artificial intelligence still isn’t the most reliable thing you can depend on. Today’s models can still flub answers. Now, the pitfalls of AI are abundantly clear with a few mishaps on X. Golden State Warrior Klay Thompson was just “accused” of a vandalism spree involving bricks.
Late Tuesday night, X presented an AI-generated news snippet. The article, posted soon after the Warriors’ play-in loss to the Sacramento Kings, reads: “Klay Thompson Accused in Bizarre Brick-Vandalism Spree.”
The snippet hilariously described an incident where Thompson supposedly vandalized houses in Sacramento with bricks. Thankfully, according to the snippet, no one was hurt. It even had a few sources for its claims below the news summary.
First off… I am ok.
My house was vandalized by bricks 🧱
After my hands stopped shaking, I managed to call the Sheriff…They were quick to respond🚨
My window was gone and the police asked if I knew who did it👮♂️
I said yes, it was Klay Thompson

The sources, however, are just joke posts stemming from the recently concluded game. In that do-or-die game, Thompson put up a staggering 0 points on ten shot attempts, the most misses without a make by a Warrior since the ’68 season. Naturally, everyone joked that the Warriors guard just threw bricks all over Sacramento.
Now, X is currently experimenting with a new AI feature called Grok. The model collates trending topics and creates snippets of what’s happening for X users. However, it’s not exactly the smartest in determining real news from satiric ones. The feature notes as much, carrying a fine-print caveat warning users to “verify its outputs” because it’s an early feature and can make mistakes.

New users on X might soon face a tough time on the platform. The social media website will likely start charging new accounts a small fee for the right to post on the platform.
Now, the fee isn’t a new one. Almost six months ago, the company tested the paid system in New Zealand and the Philippines. New users in those countries had to pay a dollar per year for the ability to post and reply to content.
As spotted by X Daily News on the same platform, the company might be ready to take the experiment to a larger market. New text strings have shown that the policy is rolling out worldwide.
SPECULATION: X might be expanding its policy to charge new users before they reply/like/bookmark a post https://t.co/odqeyeiHBx pic.twitter.com/EU71qlwQ0D
— X Daily News (@xDaily) April 15, 2024
The policy is designed to combat a wave of bots appearing on the platform. By preventing new accounts from creating posts, X hopes to stave off the standard behavior of bots these days. You might have noticed them as OnlyFans creators in unrelated posts, peddling NSFW content on their bio.
Though the global rollout was only just spotted, owner Elon Musk has seemingly confirmed the change. Replying to X Daily News, Musk says that it is “the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.” He says that the current breed of bots can easily bypass simple checks these days.
