Microsoft Enhances Paint & Notepad with AI via Copilot

Microsoft is bringing AI-powered features to classic Windows apps, integrating Copilot into Paint and Notepad. In Paint, users now get access to tools like “Image Creator” for generative art, “Generative Erase” to smartly remove elements, and “Remove Background” for quick edits. Notepad gains AI writing assistance, allowing users to change tone, rewrite text, or summarize content. These updates make long-standing applications smarter and more useful, especially for casual creators and writers. By embedding AI into core Windows tools, Microsoft is transforming basic utilities into intelligent assistants, setting a new standard for everyday desktop experiences.
