Microsoft Introduced New Features Integrating AI For Windows App

Microsoft’s most recent Windows 11 Insider release includes the addition of artificial intelligence to three of its iconic Windows applications: Paint, Snipping Tool, and Notepad.

Summary:

1. Microsoft’s Windows 11 Insider release introduces new AI features in Paint, Snipping Tool, and Notepad.

2. Snipping Tool offers Perfect Image, a tool that automatically modifies selection areas without cropping.

3. Notepad also features a Write feature, allowing users to generate text from a basic prompt. These new features are only available on Copilot+ PCs.

These new features, which are going out to users in Canary and Dev Channels, intend to update daily tools with generative AI and smart upgrades, although many will only be available on Copilot+ PCs.

The Paint app is receiving an array of AI features. First up is the Sticker Generator, a fun new application that allows you to make unique stickers simply by entering a prompt. Want a cat with sunglasses? Type it in, and Paint will build it for you using artificial intelligence. These stickers can be applied to your canvas, copied to other apps, or saved for later.

New Features of Windows App

According to the latest tech news, there is also a new Object Choose tool, which allows you to choose and alter specific areas of an image. It uses artificial intelligence to identify and separate components on the canvas, facilitating faster and more efficient editing.

Furthermore, a new Welcome Experience in Paint will walk users through the latest features, providing a useful introduction for both new and experienced users.

These Paint upgrades are only accessible on Copilot+ PCs, and using the sticker creator requires you to log in with a Microsoft account.

Snipping Tools Gets Improved

Snipping Tool is also upgrading its game. The main feature is Perfect Image, an AI tool that automatically modifies your selection area so that you get the perfect image without having to crop it afterwards. Simply press Print Screen or Open Snipping Tool, select the feature, and let AI handle the rest. 

Another feature is the Color Picker, which allows you to select color codes (HEX, RGB, or HSL) from any location on your screen. It’s extremely important for designers and developers who need to match colors perfectly.

Again, these new features are currently only available on Copilot+ PCs.

Notepad has a Write Feature

Finally, Notepad will get an AI boost with a Write feature. It allows you to generate text from a basic prompt, which is ideal for brainstorming new ideas or improving on current notes. Simply right-click or press Ctrl + Q to get started. You can edit or discard the generated text as needed.

According to this latest tech news, to utilize Write, you’ll need a Microsoft account and a valid Microsoft 365 subscription that includes Copilot Pro AI credits.

Similarly, according to CBRE, Bengaluru is one of the top 12 global technology hubs, having an IT workforce of over a million people.

The ‘Global Tech Talent Guidebook 2025’ analysis, issued by real estate firm CBRE, explores altering trends in tech talent across 115 locations. According to this global tech news, the report categorises these markets into three types based on the availability, quality, and cost of tech talent: powerhouse (12 markets with large, deep, and highly competitive talent pools), developed (63 mature markets with consistent talent pipelines), and emerging.

“Bengaluru is the biggest tech talent market in the Asia-Pacific region, along with Beijing and Shanghai, with its tech workforce exceeding 1 million (10 lakh),” claimed the adviser on this latest tech news.

This makes Bengaluru a major hub in the global technology and innovation environment.
