Microsoft is [1]introducing a feature to Notepad called [2]Rewrite that will let you use AI to " [3]rephrase sentences, adjust tone, and modify the length of your content ." The Verge reports:

> If you're a Windows Insider with early access to the feature, you can try it by highlighting the text you want to adjust in Notepad, right-clicking it, and choosing Rewrite. Notepad will then display a dialogue box where you can decide how they want to change their text -- for example, if it needs to be longer or shorter. Rewrite will then offer three rewritten versions that you can replace your work with.

>

> It's worth noting that you'll have to sign in to your Microsoft account to use Rewrite, as it's "powered by a cloud-based service that requires authentication and authorization." Microsoft is launching this feature in preview on Windows 11 in the US, France, UK, Canada, Italy, and Germany.

In July, Microsoft [4]rolled out spellcheck and autocorrect for Notepad.
