How AI will boost Windows Notepad and Paint


AI features in Paint enable users to remove certain elements from an image. — Microsoft

Microsoft will soon add a dose of artificial intelligence to two iconic Windows applications with very limited capabilities: Notepad and Paint. But not everyone will be able to enjoy all of these new features just yet.

Microsoft has announced the arrival of new artificial intelligence-based functionalities in Notepad and Paint in Windows 11. Members of the Windows Insider program, who preview and test new features of the operating system, will be the first to have access to these tools. However, they will need to have recent hardware, namely a Copilot+ PC, in order to try out all of these new features.

Notepad will benefit from AI-assisted writing enhancements via the "Rewrite” feature that lets you rephrase sentences, adjust tone or modify text length. By selecting any passage and choosing this option, the AI tool will be able to propose various alternative versions of the text, whether to achieve greater clarity or to change the writing style.

For its part, Paint will offer new possibilities thanks to AI-enhanced creative tools. For example, the "Generative fill” feature will enable users to add or modify the elements of an image by entering a simple text description. To use it, simply select an area of the image, describe the desired addition, and the AI will again generate several proposals from which to choose. It will also be possible to remove an element from the image by replacing it with a suitable background, ensuring that the removal isn't visible afterward.

All these innovations testify to Microsoft's commitment to integrating AI into all its flagship applications, with the aim of enriching the user experience and boosting everyone's creative and editorial potential. – AFP Relaxnews
