Microsoft is adding new AI tools across its products and includes Paint as well as Notepad which has become a different version in the last year or so. Paint has always been the go-to- choice for creative
outputs and with AI the platform is getting close to being a reliable photo editor among other new tricks.
The latest is the ability to generate colouring books using basic text prompts, just like how you would command Gemini or ChatGPT for a particular task. These new features are not available for everyone and are part of the Windows Insider test group who will work on the issues and make it stable for the wider release.
Microsoft Paint AI Colouring Books: How It Works
Paint users can actually make colouring books using AI prompts which gives you ready to use colouring books that can be digitally filled with colours. All you have to do is open the colouring book option from Paint settings and you will see a text box where you feed the AI with the needed prompts to generate the book. Paint will give you the outline that is similar to that of a colouring book in a few seconds that you can also get it printed.
Microsoft is making sure the new features are tempting enough for people to upgrade to one of the latest Copilot + PCs and you also need to sign in with your account with the platform like Google and Apple asks you to.
For Notepad users, the AI options are included in text formatting like strikethrough and nested lists. It also offers a formatting tool bar and you can directly type this into the box for quick results.
Adobe is the other tech giant to shower Acrobat with new AI tools. Adobe is going beyond the regular text files and making AI help you convert text into audio podcasts, if that is something you are involved in for work or personal use. All these features are coming for Acrobat users across the globe and expected to be available for free initially.
