Microsoft's new Paint Cocreator requires an NPU — AI-powered feature requires 40 TOPS of performance and a Microsoft account

Microsoft Paint Cocreator.

Microsoft quietly added a new AI feature, called Cocreator, into its raster graphics editor included in every version of Windows since 1985. Cocreator uses your work on the Microsoft Paint canvas, alongside a text prompt, to generate images as you draw, allowing you to see its AI-enhanced output as you doodle on the screen.

Microsoft Paint’s Cocreator feature is different from other AI image generation apps as it uses both textual and visual input to create an image. This means it will be easier for the user to create visuals through AI that match their vision. You can also change the output style between digital art, watercolor, and oil painting, among others, so you can get exactly what you want.
