Do you remember the good ol' days when you signed up for your first Yahoo mail? It's been more than two decades since Google and Microsoft started ruling the world of email. Before that, Yahoo used to be one of the go-to platforms for many users' daily communications. And why is it important?

According to a recently shared report by Business Wire, Yahoo has announced new AI tools for Yahoo Mail. It will expand its existing AI beta experience along with an all-new shopping feature called Shopping Saver. It aims to save everyone time and money bringing the shopping experience directly to a user's inbox and improving the seamlessness of the entire process. This announcement is targeted at streamlining user experiences and transforming email inboxes into assistive tools.
