Microsoft Adds AI-Powered Rewrite to Windows 11 Notepad
Microsoft has rolled out a new update for Notepad in Windows 11, bringing AI-powered "Rewrite" capabilities to all regions. This update, version 11.2412.16.0, is now available to users outside the Windows Insider Program.
The Rewrite function uses ChatGPT to rephrase content, adjust tone, and modify text length. Users can choose from formal, casual, inspirational, and humorous tones. Format options include paragraph, list, business, academic, marketing, and poetry, as reported by Windows Latest.
To use Rewrite, users highlight text or click the Rewrite button (or use Ctrl + I). The system generates three different versions of the selected text for users to choose from.
Access to these new AI functions requires a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription. Users in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada can access limited free credits, but these are quickly used up.
The AI integration in Notepad is not as extensive as Copilot in Word. Notepad's AI focuses on rewriting sentences and adjusting tone or format, unlike Word's Copilot, which can summarize content and structure documents.
Users who prefer not to use AI features can disable Rewrite in Notepad's settings.

M&A News: OpenAI Acqui-Hires Crossing Minds amid Meta Poaching Spree
Microsoft-backed OpenAI (MSFT) has hired the entire team from Crossing Minds, which is a startup that has raised $13.5 million in funding (according to TechCrunch) to build AI recommendation tools for online shopping platforms. Crossing Minds announced the news on its website by stating that it was excited to join OpenAI and support its mission to make artificial general intelligence helpful for everyone. The team said it's eager to learn, contribute, and help shape the future of AI together with OpenAI. Confident Investing Starts Here: It is worth noting that this move is considered an 'acqui-hire.' This means that OpenAI mainly acquired the startup in order to bring in its talented team. The timing is notable, as OpenAI has recently seen some of its researchers leave for rival companies, especially Meta Platforms (META), which is aggressively pushing to become the leader in the AI market. Indeed, Meta has hired several researchers from OpenAI to work on its 'superintelligence' projects. According to The Wall Street Journal, Meta brought in Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai, who helped start OpenAI's Zurich office last year. In a separate report, TechCrunch also revealed that Meta hired OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal to focus on building better reasoning models. These moves highlight the increasing competition among tech giants to secure top AI talent. Is MSFT Stock a Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 30 Buys and five Holds assigned in the last three months. Furthermore, the average MSFT price target of $521.41 per share implies 5.3% upside potential.
