- Microsoft Paint now presents a Copilot AI
- The new AI painting tools include car, image creator and generative eraser
- Windows is adding search for AI to find photos using natural language
Microsoft Paint, that humble program that can only be called for a very fast image harvest, is to obtain an update of AI thanks to a new copilot button. Microsoft’s assistant can now help create and improve any sketches or visions based on MS paint that cares to leave in pixels. For now, the update is limited to Windows Insids, however, presumably, Microsoft will expand access as it refines the function.
For those with access, click on the Co -Philot button in the paint taskbar will offer a menu of functions with AI. That includes Image Creator, which converts the text indications into images using the OpenAi Dall-E model, Cocreator, who uses AI to combine text indications with any scribble that makes in paint to produce a new type of art work and generative erase, which can take objects (or people) outside an image without disturbing the background.
This is not the first time that painting flirts. In 2023, Microsoft began adding car car, followed by a generative filling, which allows it to eliminate or modify parts of an image when instructing AI that replaces them with something new. This simply organizes all the tools of AI perfectly under the Copilot banner, which facilitates the search and uses them in one place.
The painting is just one of the stations that Copilot is being configured in Windows. The AI is already integrated into the Windows taskbar, the Edge browser, the Office 365 platform and even some keyboards. That said, offering in Microsoft Paint adapts to the way people could use the application. Making and editing images is all the painting point; Copilot simply expands those skills.

But this is not just about painting. Microsoft is also implementing updates in its search with AI, which appeared for the first time in the preview at the beginning of this month. Until now, the search for AI only worked with locally stored files on its PC. This new update also expands to cloud storage, which means that you can now find your OneDrive photos simply describing them.
Instead of moving through endless folders of screenshots and vacation photos, you can write something like “Beach Sunset last summer” and let AI do the rest. It is a small but significant change towards a more intuitive way to manage files.
The painting may not be the most exciting Microsoft tool, but the incorporation of AI tools is notable as an evolution of an application that many assumed that Microsoft would abandon years ago. Instead, painting can prosper in the AI era thanks to the simplicity that has made it attractive for decades.
