Microsoft is introducing new AI capabilities to its Paint and Notepad applications on Windows 11. The updates, which are being gradually rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev channels, offer features that enhance text editing and digital illustrations.
One notable addition is the ‘Coloring book’ tool in Paint, which allows users to generate coloring book pages instantly based on text prompts. By selecting the Coloring book option from the Copilot menu, users can describe a design, such as ‘a cute fluffy cat on a donut,’ and Paint will create four results that can be added to the canvas for coloring or printing. Additionally, Paint now includes a fill tolerance slider for more precise coloring.
Notepad has also received updates, including AI-generated results for Write, Rewrite, and Summarize functions, providing quick previews of text outputs. The app’s revamped welcome experience offers a comprehensive overview of available features, alongside enhanced Markdown syntax support.
