Part 2/10:
Since its debut in 1983, Notepad has been the quintessential minimalistic text editor, favored for quick notes, basic coding, or plain text editing. Recognizing the need to modernize this staple, Microsoft has added a new "Rewrite" feature powered by advanced generative AI.
How the Rewrite Function Works
With a simple right-click on selected text, users can choose the "Rewrite" option, which generates alternative versions of their writing. This isn't just superficial rephrasing—users can tailor the output by adjusting parameters like tone, length, and formality. For instance, if a paragraph is too verbose, the AI can condense it, or it can make a statement sound more professional for formal correspondence.
