Summary: Microsoft is testing new AI-powered features in Notepad and Snipping Tool, including an AI text summarization tool called “Summarize” for Notepad and a “Draw & Hold” feature for precise drawing in Snipping Tool. The updates are currently rolling out to Windows 11 Insiders and require a Microsoft account for access. Additionally, Notepad will include a new “Recent Files” option, allowing users to easily reopen recently closed documents.
Affected: Microsoft Windows 11
