Windows 11 Supercharges Notepad and Paint with AI Text Generation and Smart Features

Microsoft Integrates Advanced AI Text Generation into Notepad

Microsoft continues to revolutionize its core Windows applications, and the latest Windows 11 Insider update introduces one of the most exciting advancements yet: Notepad now features robust AI-powered text generation. This innovation, initially available for Windows Insiders on the Canary and Dev channels, particularly on Copilot+ PCs, marks a significant leap in everyday productivity tools.

AI Write: Draft, Expand, and Refine with Ease

With the new 'Write' feature in Notepad, users can quickly generate drafts or expand on existing content using artificial intelligence. Whether you're composing an email, taking notes, or brainstorming ideas, simply right-click where you want the AI-generated text to appear, or select existing text as a reference. Opening the Copilot menu unveils the Write prompt—here you can input your custom instructions. Notepad's AI processes your command and delivers the generated content straight into your document. If the result isn't quite right, you can refine the output by providing further suggestions or prompts.

Importantly, users must be signed into their Microsoft account to access these advanced capabilities, ensuring seamless integration across Microsoft's ecosystem. The AI Write is Notepad's third smart tool, joining Summarize (for condensing large documents) and Rewrite (for rewording existing content), making Notepad much more than just a simple text editor.

Expanding the AI Toolbox: New Features in Paint and Snipping Tool

Notepad is not the only Windows app getting smarter. Windows 11's latest update also brings intelligent upgrades to Paint, further blending creativity and efficiency. The newly introduced Sticker Generator allows users to describe the types of stickers they want. Paint’s AI then generates a collection based on your description, perfect for creative projects, presentations, or social media content. These stickers can be effortlessly added to your canvas or shared across other applications.

Additionally, Paint now boasts an Object Select tool powered by AI, making it simple to isolate and edit specific elements within images or digital drawings. This streamlines complex image editing tasks that previously required third-party software.

Perfect Screenshot: Smarter Snipping with AI

The popular Snipping Tool also receives a notable upgrade. The new 'Perfect Screenshot' button on the toolbar leverages artificial intelligence to automatically crop and resize your screenshots according to the content you select. This means cleaner, more precise captures ideal for sharing, documentation, or presentations.

Comparative Advantages and Market Relevance

By embedding advanced AI features into staple Windows 11 apps, Microsoft sets a new standard in the OS ecosystem. Compared to legacy versions and even to popular third-party alternatives, these updates offer a seamless, intuitive user experience, saving time and reducing the reliance on external tools for basic text and image tasks.

For tech enthusiasts, professionals, and digital innovators in Lithuania and worldwide, these enhancements drastically improve day-to-day workflows. AI-powered productivity tools are now more accessible than ever, further cementing Windows 11 and Microsoft's commitment to practical innovation in digital workspaces.
