Microsoft has released an AI-powered graphic design tool to the public in a free preview.  The Designer web application utilizes OpenAI's DALL-E 2 along with user-generated content to generate designs for presentations, work projects, and more. The Canva-like app was previously only available through a waitlist. It's now available to the general public to try out in preview for free, along with new features such as animated visuals, caption generations, and hashtags for social media. The tool relies on AI and user input to generate layouts that are customizable via text editing. Microsoft says it will add more editing features in future updates, including fill, erase, expand background, and replace background. The tool is currently free at designer.microsoft.com and in the sidebar of Microsoft's Edge browser. Once generally available, it will be included as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions.
