AI Enhancements Arrive for Microsoft Notepad

Microsoft Notepad is introducing a new AI feature called Rewrite, available to Windows Insiders. This tool lets AI modify text and alter tone or length. Users can easily toggle this feature via Notepad settings.

Guess what? Microsoft’s Notepad is stepping into the future with a shiny new AI feature dubbed Rewrite. According to The Verge, Windows Insiders are already playing around with it, tweaking sentence structures, flipping tones, and even stretching or shrinking text like digital putty. Want in on the action? Just highlight some text, right-click (or hit Ctrl+I if you’re all about those keyboard shortcuts), and voilà—a dialog box pops up with AI’s best guesses at what you might want. Fancy making it longer, tweaking the tone, or reformatting? There’s a button for that. And for the purists out there, yes, you can show AI the door in settings.

But wait, there’s more! Microsoft Paint isn’t being left in the dust. It’s getting its own AI magic with Generative Fill and Erase. Imagine telling Paint, “Make this sunset pop,” or zapping that photobomber into oblivion with a click. It’s clear Microsoft’s apps are evolving from “just okay” to “how did I live without this?” overnight.
