In a humorous tone reminiscent of a 17th century pirate, the article discusses how Microsoft is integrating AI technology into its iconic Windows Notepad app. The AI assistant, called Windows Copilot, is currently limited in its capabilities but is expected to receive new features, such as the ability to analyze user-uploaded screenshots. In addition to Copilot, Microsoft has also introduced an AI image generator called Cocreator for the Paint app. Now, it seems that Notepad will also be receiving its own AI assistant, possibly named Cowriter. The updated Notepad app package reportedly contains files referencing UI elements and dialogs related to the AI bot.The AI-assist bot in Notepad will allow users to generate text using ChatCPT-powered technology directly in the app. There will likely be usage limits in place, indicated by the reference to a "CreditLimitDialog," suggesting a potential usage quota and credit system. Similar to other AI features introduced by Microsoft, the AI tool in Notepad will provide suggestions relevant to the context of the document and specific content being written. Users will be able to modify aspects such as length, tone, format, and instructions for a text selection.
Although the feature has not been officially announced by Microsoft, references to it have been found by Windows enthusiasts. It is speculated that the AI feature will be rolled out to tests, possibly through the Windows Insider Program, where users can provide feedback and help fine-tune the tool. Some critics argue that the straightforwardness of apps like Notepad and Paint may be compromised by the AI-assist bot, but Microsoft seems determined to incorporate AI technology into various aspects of its operating system.
