Microsoft gives Notepad an AI-makeover with Rewrite; Here's how to use it

Microsoft is bringing AI integration to one of its oldest tools, Notepad, in the best possible way. The Notepad will now have an AI Rewrite feature that will let the users rephrase the sentences, alter the content length, and even adjust the tone of their piece. As of now, the feature is only available as a preview for Windows 11 in a few regions – France, Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Germany, and more.

Now, you will see multiple editing options like length adjustment, rewrite, tone adjustment, and more. After selecting the command, you will get to see three variations of the text from which you can select the most suitable one. The changes will be directly applied to the original document from there.
