Microsoft Adds Free AI-Powered Summarize, Write, and Rewrite Tools to Notepad
Microsoft is rolling out three free AI features—Summarize, Write, and Rewrite—to the classic Windows Notepad, enabling faster content creation without requiring a Microsoft 365 subscription and leveraging local models for smooth performance.
Microsoft announced that the classic Notepad app in Windows will receive three new AI‑powered features—Summarize, Write, and Rewrite—aimed at boosting writing efficiency.
The features will be available on Copilot Plus PCs and are already being tested by some Windows Insider users. Importantly, they do not require a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Using a local model, the AI tools run quickly and smoothly. The Summarize function extracts key information from text, the Write function helps generate new content, and the Rewrite function offers alternative phrasings for existing text.
These updates, which are free for all users with supported hardware, illustrate Microsoft’s continued focus on innovation and user experience, giving the long‑standing Notepad a fresh role in modern productivity.
