According to Bryan Rognier<\/a>, General Manager, Microsoft 365 Consumer, \u201cSince October, the AI models have steadily improved, and we\u2019ve worked to weave these powerful capabilities throughout the Designer canvas in even more delightful ways while keeping you in control.\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Users can use Designers to generate unique images, animated texts, and visuals simply by describing their thoughts.
