Microsoft’s AI Android App, the designer app, has made its debut on Android phones via the Google Play Store, marking a significant expansion of its AI-powered capabilities into the mobile realm. This free app empowers users to make use of AI directly from their smartphones, offering a wide range of functionalities.
The app, currently in the beta preview stage, is now available for download on the Google Play Store, similar to the web version.
It was launched in May this year and enables users to create impressive designs quickly, even without prior design experience. Unlike the E-model-powered Bing Image Creator, which features flying cat images in astronaut suits, Designer allows you to craft social media posts using straightforward word prompts.
Users can now use the app to perform tasks such as removing backgrounds from photos, generating AI-driven imagery, crafting social media posts, resizing images and designs, and much more. Microsoft, at first introduced its first major AI-powered design-focused app, Microsoft Designer, for desktop operating systems last year. Now, with this mobile app release, users can conveniently access Microsoft’s AI prowess on their phones.
Microsoft has currently made the app available as a free download on the Google Play Store, although it comes with certain compatibility restrictions. It functions only on select Android phones, excluding certain tablets and the best foldable phones. According to MSPowerUser, it also worth noting that the Microsoft’s Android AI app may not always remain free.
Capabilities of the Microsoft’s Android AI app
Nevertheless, for the time being, users can embrace the capabilities of Microsoft‘s AI to facilitate the creation of various content, ranging from AI-generated images to social media posts enriched with AI-generated visuals
For instance, imagine a scenario where users employ the AI to generate an Instagram Story for an upcoming pizza party. The app presents several options, which users can select and further customize through text-based prompts, guiding Microsoft’s DALL-E-powered AI engine in creating the desired content.
Designer utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to create unique designs and layouts based on what you tell it. You can describe what you want, and Designer will present multiple design options. After picking one, you can make it your own by adding text, images, and more.
Microsoft emphasizes that the app encompasses a wide spectrum of design-related tasks. As users engage with the app, Microsoft’s AI is designed to provide suggestions and enhancements tailored to the content being created. This feature contributes to the production of designs with a more polished and professional appearance than users might have achieved otherwise.
