In addition to this, Microsoft has also brought AI-powered features to Notepad and Paint. Windows Insiders now have access to a “Rewrite” tool that uses AI to rephrase sentences, adjust tone, and modify content length. Paint users will get new AI image editing tools, including a Generative Fill feature for edits and additions using text prompts, and a Generative erase feature to remove unwanted objects. These features are being rolled out in preview on Windows 11 in the U.S., France, the U.K., Canada, Italy, and Germany.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft has announced a new feature for Outlook that uses generative AI to create themes based on personal preferences. These AI-powered themes are available to Copilot Pro consumer subscribers and business accounts with Copilot enabled.
- The themes can be inspired by over 100 locations or the user's own location, and can be set to update dynamically at various intervals. Users can also choose to view the theme in a realistic, oil painting, or cartoon style.
- The new feature is accessible via Outlook’s Appearance Settings and is designed to allow users to personalize their email service. This feature does not offer additional functionality but provides a fun way to personalize the email app.
