Overview

  • Microsoft is testing the AI-powered Write feature in Notepad, allowing users to draft text from prompts or expand on existing content, available to Windows Insiders with Copilot+ PCs.
  • The Write feature requires users to sign in with a Microsoft account and consumes AI credits tied to Microsoft 365 subscription tiers.
  • MS Paint introduces a new AI-driven Sticker Generator and Object Select tool, simplifying image editing with natural language prompts and intelligent object isolation.
  • The Snipping Tool adds Perfect Screenshot and Color Picker features, using AI to optimize screenshot framing and provide precise color code values in HEX, RGB, or HSL formats.
  • These updates are part of Microsoft's Copilot initiative, aiming to modernize legacy Windows apps with generative AI capabilities and gather feedback via the Windows Insider Program.
