Update January 23, 2024: At Microsoft, we are always updating and testing features to offer our users the best possible experiences as we experiment with new approaches to functionality. To improve the user experience and streamline our tools that empower creativity, Bing Image Creator is now Designer and Bing Chat is now Copilot. Create wow-worthy images with your words and AI with Designer, and try Copilot, your AI-powered search assistant for the web.

Key takeaways

  • Designer in Copilot enables users to create art from text prompts, leveraging advanced AI for visual interpretation.
  • Accessing Designer via Copilot or Microsoft Edge is straightforward, making it accessible for both novice and experienced artists to enhance their digital art portfolio.
  • When prompting Copilot, be specific, ask follow-up questions, and request summaries or use comparisons.

A showcase of Copilot‘s AI-powered art and creative features is really a showcase of ways your imagination can be unleashed. Learn about the image and text-generating prowess of Copilot as we show a quick glimpse of what you can use it to create.

What can you create with Copilot?

We’d say that all you need to explore Copilot’s creative AI tools is an idea, but you don’t even need that. Copilot’s conversational search can even help you generate an idea from scratch. Once you have a creative idea, ask Copilot to bring it to life for you. Here are examples of the kinds of art and creative writing Copilot can generate along with prompts for you to try.

AI art

Designer, built right into Copilot, is an AI image generator powered by DALL-E 3. It’s capable of generating images of just about anything, in just about any style you can imagine. When you ask Copilot to create an image, it gets to work turning your text prompt into a visual output, usually with three or more options to choose from. You can then ask it to regenerate the image with specific changes or edits, in a different artistic style, or in any new way you’d like. Keep the conversation going until you get the image you want.

To show you what Designer can do, we tried a few prompts. Here are the results:

Prompt 1: Create an image of a wolf howling at a full moon at night.

Prompt 2: I like the top-right image best. Regenerate that image but make it a woman dancing in front of the moon in a photo-realistic style.

Prompt 3: Take the lower-right image and make it in the style of batik. Remove the moon and put a vibrant sunrise in the background.

AI art prompts

Are you ready to try creating AI art in Copilot for yourself? Since you’re in conversation with Copilot, keep in mind that you can hone the results until the image is just right. Here are a few prompt types to get you started and keep the generative conversation going:

  • Create a simple image. Make an image of [subject].
  • Get more specific. Make an image of [subject] in [setting] at [time of day] in the style of [artistic style].
  • Edit your AI image. Add [change] and remove [change].
  • Adjust styles. Generate the same image as [new style].
  • Tell a story one image at a time. Make an image of the same subject in the same style, but change it to [next scene, action, place, or event].

AI creative writing

Compose is an AI text generator built into Copilot. Not only can it generate human speech, but it can do so with creative flair and inventiveness. While it can create anything from an email suggesting a location for a fun family gathering to a scene in a movie script, when you give it a prompt for a literary form or style, its creative abilities can shine.

AI creative writing showcase

Short or long, casual or sarcastic, Copilot can write up just about anything you can request and will revise it as much as you like. Here’s a quick demonstration of what it can do:

Prompt 1: Write me a short poem about starting the day off right.

Wake up early and greet the dawn
A new day is here for you to take on
Fill your mind with positive thoughts
And let go of the ones that make you distraught

Prompt 2: Add mention of these three things: my dog, Buster; waffles; and yoga.

Wake up early and greet the dawn
With Buster by your side, you can't go wrong
Fill your mind with positive thoughts
And enjoy some waffles with syrup and nuts

Do some yoga and feel the energy
Stretch your muscles and breathe deeply
Have a nutritious breakfast and hydrate
Prepare yourself for whatever awaits

Prompt 3: Make this poem more free form.

As the sun rises, you and Buster wake. You always have fun, no matter what’s at stake. You fill your mind with things that bring you joy. You treat yourself to waffles with toppings you enjoy.

You practice yoga and feel the flow. You bend your body and touch your toe. You have a balanced meal and quench your thirst. You face the day and whatever comes first.

AI creative writing prompts

Whether silly or serious, Copilot can help you write what you need. Here are a few prompts to generate the creative writing you imagine:

  • General. Create a [literary form] about [topic].
  • Get more specific. Create a [literary form] about [topic] in the style of [literary style] in [tone]. It should be about [character names and descriptions] overcoming [obstacle].
  • Ask for revisions. Regenerate that but make these changes: [changes].
  • Adjust voice, genre, or style. Generate the same text as [new voice, genre, or style].
  • Get a wider view. Write an outline for this piece that shows key events and helps me see how these characters can overcome this challenge one step at a time.
  • Develop characters. Write up character descriptions for the following characters: [names and details]. Generate choices of additional character traits and nuances for each character, what motivates them, and how they might talk.
  • Prompt rewording. Add more context to prompts to get better results. Example: original prompt: "Create a poem about a serene beach at sunset." A rephrased prompt example: "Write a poem describing two lovers walking on a tranquil shoreline during the evening's twilight."

Conclusion
