Microsoft Rumored to Add AI 'Cowriter' to Notepad in Windows 11

The new feature, expected to offer text rewriting and summarizing capabilities, may use a credit system and be rolled out gradually.

Microsoft is rumored to be adding an AI feature, dubbed 'Cowriter', to its Notepad application in Windows 11, according to leaks spotted by tech enthusiasts.
Cowriter is expected to offer functionalities such as rewriting text, summarizing, and changing the tone of delivery, similar to existing features in Microsoft's Copilot.
The AI feature is likely to use a credit system, similar to the one used in Microsoft's Cocreator feature in Paint, which depletes every time the AI is used.
References to a waitlist for the Cowriter feature have been found, suggesting a gradual rollout of the feature.
Microsoft's focus on enhancing Notepad comes as the company plans to discontinue WordPad after 30 years.
