Congratulations on the launch! The speed at which Microsoft is moving on generative AI stuff is astonishing! I particularly like the templates, sample prompts, and tips that show up when a new design is being generated! They make the learning curve much shorter for first-time users like me. I was able to generate a few sample banner ad designs in no time! Also, the feature to remove the background from any uploaded image is super cool and works well! The outputs look on par with the paid image editing tools I've been using.

@mohit_anand1 The UI is slick and so easy to use. Congratulations on that. One question though - Being in this space and having tried out Adobe Firefly and Canva Magic tools (and also Dall E and Stability and a few opensource tools), curious how do you plan to differentiate from these? Most of these look so very similar in terms of end user value. What is it that you are betting on that will get you stickiness?

It certainly looks interesting product from Microsoft. I have signed up and tried a few prompt. I liked the variety of images that it offers to choose from. I am sure it is going to help non-designers quickly create graphics and motions for their web/social media posts. Keep up the good work team Microsoft!

Congratulations on your launch! Microsoft has always been advanced in generative AI and Copilot, and the products have consistently performed well. I tried it out immediately. The interface is fantastic, offering an amazing design experience. I quickly generated the images, expressions, avatars, posters, and even background images I wanted. The current image editing features include background removal and background blurring. It would be even better if it had intelligent image enhancement and one-click style change.

Appreciate the lead in pioneering a new way of custom-made designs, instead of endlessly browsing templates, and AI powered text suggestions. Glad to see the industry pick up this trend too. Since, this product is in preview, I'm anticipating more features would keep coming in. Will check back in some months, and do a full evaluation. But for now, excellent start to bring this all together, keep going, it's going to be a long journey.

I don't understand how this is getting positive reviews when there are alternatives that are much, much better. The image output is not good at all; any time there is text, it's unreadable. I'll mess around with it again a month from now and see if there have been any changes and update if necessary.

Lots of potential to get creative, and our team keeps making it better. I love making custom stickers to use in my texts with family and friends, as well as sending unique personalized messages for special occasions with cards!

This app stands out among the many similar ones available, and its web version is particularly impressive for those who primarily use their web browser for work. It's impressive to witness Microsoft's continual evolution.

Pretty slick app. Loved loved playing with the AI image generator. Would love to see option to let me upload an image and generate more to the image and expand it.
