The Copilot icon, which will be visible in the taskbar, serves as a one-stop-shop for AI tools in Paint. The dropdown menu revealed upon clicking the Copilot icon includes generative features such as Cocreator, Image Creator, and Generative Erase. These tools utilize AI to aid in the creation and editing of images, offering a new level of convenience and functionality to Paint users.
The integration of AI tools into Paint has been a gradual process. Microsoft first introduced the DALL-E-based Cocreator in late 2023, followed by the addition of generative fill options. The latest update consolidates these features under the Copilot icon, simplifying access and usage for users.
In addition to the AI tools in Paint, the AI search feature has also been updated. Previously limited to local files, the improved search now allows users to find photos in the cloud using natural language. This update is currently rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders in the Dev and Beta channels.
Microsoft has been on a mission to put a Copilot icon everywhere it can - from your keyboard to the taskbar - and Paint is just the latest place for it to pop up. The integration of AI tools into Paint is a testament to Microsoft's commitment to enhancing user experience through AI.
