Microsoft is rolling out new AI-powered features to Notepad at no extra cost. For users with a Copilot Plus PC, upcoming updates will enable functionalities such as summarizing text, writing assistance, and rewriting content directly within Notepad.

Currently, these features are being tested by Windows Insiders and are designed to operate without requiring a Microsoft 365 subscription. The company is leveraging local AI models on Copilot Plus devices to enhance the Notepad experience, ensuring privacy and performance.

Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as Microsoft continues to embed AI tools into its core applications.
