Microsoft intends to add a new artificial intelligence feature to the built-in Notebook application in the Windows operating system.
While the software giant has not officially announced it, OS Windows observers found code instructions in recent beta versions of Windows 11 indicating that the new Cowriter feature is coming soon.
The Cowriter feature, distinguished by artificial intelligence, is used to transform text, whether long or short, and change writing style or text formatting.
The new feature seems to incorporate the same credit system used by Microsoft in the Cocreator feature in the Paint application, to help Windows users understand the number of times they can benefit from these AI-supportive features.
You need to use an online service that requires you to log in to your Microsoft account in order to benefit from the Cocreator feature in the Paint application.
Microsoft has not yet revealed the pricing of these features, but it can be assumed that the company will start charging fees once resources are exhausted.
Bing uses a similar system, and creating images through DALL-E becomes slow when the daily available quantity runs out.
Other Windows testers have discovered clues to a feature waiting list and a hidden main image that reveals the appearance of the Writer interface, which Microsoft may use to market the new Notebook program with the new Cowriter feature.
The image matches Microsoft’s marketing style for the benefits of Copilot within Office applications such as Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint.
It is clear that Microsoft is nearing an official announcement for the Cowriter feature experience, reminiscent of the way the generated image feature was tested in the Paint application for several months before its release to all Windows 11 users.
Microsoft has significantly evolved the Notebook program within the Windows 11 operating system in recent years. New features have been added such as dark mode, tabbed browsing, and character count. Other new features include autosave and the ability to restore tabs.
Microsoft aims to integrate these artificial intelligence-related features directly into Windows applications, in order to attract users to purchase AI credits.
This innovative feature comes at a time when Microsoft is removing the Notebook application from the Windows system after nearly 30 years of use.
Microsoft announced that 2024 will be the year of AI-based computing, revealing the presence of a dedicated Copilot button on the keyboards of new Windows-based computers.
The company will develop a major update for the Windows operating system, codenamed Hudson Valley, expected to be released later this year. This update will provide deep integration of artificial intelligence throughout the operating system.
