Microsoft has announced that its new graphic design app, Microsoft Designer, is now available to all Microsoft 365 subscribers without a waitlist. The app, which was launched in beta last year, uses artificial intelligence to help users create stunning visuals and graphics for various purposes.
At Ignite 2022, Microsoft announced a big integration for DALL∙E 2 in Azure DevOps Service, building on the company's powerful partnership with OpenAI. it delivers DALL∙E 2 benefits on Windows 11 to provide AI art capabilities. It essentially works as an editor with drag-and-drop functionality. Microsoft is positioning it as a rival to apps such as Canva.
Available in Microsoft Office, the tool allows users to create illustrative components. Features include text editing, templates, and stock images and videos. The AI specializes in generating realistic images from art and adding a natural language description to them.
DALL-E 2 is an image-generating AI that was co-developed by OpenAI and Microsoft. Redmond provided an Azure-powered supercomputer to create the AI. This was the same computing system that built the GPT AI engine, which is now up to GPT-4 and powering services such as Bing Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Bing Image Creator Sits Alongside Microsoft Designer
In March, Microsoft launched Bing Image Creator, which adds DALL-E/Microsoft Designer capabilities directly into Bing. It sits alongside the company's Bing Chat GPT-4 powered chatbot.
Bing Image Creator is one of Microsoft's latest tools for AI and web services. The tool can create images based on simple words or phrases, such as animals, objects, landscapes, or abstract concepts. However, the tool also has some limitations and restrictions. For example, it refused to make an image based on the word “Bing” when it was first released.
Tip of the day: Windows Update downloads can often be frustrating because they are several gigabytes in size and can slow down your internet connection. That means your device may work with reduced performance while the update is downloading. In our guide we show you how to limit bandwidth for Windows Update downloads, so they won't bother you again.
