New Delhi: Microsoft is working on a groundbreaking enhancement to its venerable Notepad application by integrating Cowriter AI for Windows 11. This innovative addition aims to elevate users' writing experience, offering advanced assistance and suggestions. On X (earlier Twitter), Windows enthusiast PhantomOcean3 posted a screenshot of AI-powered Cowriter in Notepad. The screenshot shows the Cowriter menu in Notepad.

Menu List of AI-powered Cowriter at the time of writing: 

The user can instruct the AI with various commands to manipulate selected text. The "Rewrite" command prompts the AI to rephrase the text, while "Make Shorter" directs the AI to condense the content. Conversely, "Make Longer" aims to expand the text. Users can alter the tone from casual to professional with the "Change Tone" command and transform the format, such as converting from a paragraph to a blog post, using the "Change Format" command.

My opinion on this: I feel like this is a bit much. Something else could have been added to Notepad instead of AI but hey gotta ride the hype train.

Also I should note that updating to 11.2312.17.0 will not make this show up, I used a little thing called magic. https://t.co/sFD0iBamwA — PhantomOcean3 ☃️ (@PhantomOfEarth) January 10, 2024

Notably, The integration of AI-powered Cowriter in Notepad is still in development. It is suggested that this feature may launch later this year along with other changes that introduce even more AI into the life of computer users.
