Congrats on the launch on making it generally available now. It is so awesome to see how Microsoft Designer has evolved to bring latest generative AI design capabilities to the end users.

I used it to create invitations, posters for my kid's school, very quick and useful!

I've been using Designer for months to create banners/images for my newsletter, LinkedIn posts, and TikTok carousel posts (I generate unique background images and put text over it). 1. Start from AI vs start from template: My aha moment was when I was generating an image about salary negotiation for LinkedIn. I didn't like any of the templates and stock images I found on other tools - they felt stale and corporate, and I'd feel cringy posting them on LinkedIn. Then, on a whim, I opened Designer and typed "illustration of a cute and timid hamster negotiating their salary" and it generated something so whimsical and "me"! What's so powerful about AI-native design is that you can start from combinations that have never existed before (e.g., cute hamster + negotiating salary). Try it out here: https://designer.microsoft.com/i... 2. How Designer helps my content creation process: It's soo much faster for me to generate something *that represents my aesthetic* by generating images on Designer vs digging through hundreds of templates and stock images. My content also performs better because the images are unique. 3. Designer vs other image generation tools: I put the exact same prompt into Designer, Firefly, Ideogram, etc and the results from Designer are much closer to my vision of what I wanted. @aaslesha_rajaram whatever prompt wrappers you're using...they're working so well! 4. My favorite feature: I like selecting an element of the design and then tweaking it. For example, I generated a greeting card with hot air balloons and I really liked one particular hot air balloon, so I selected it, duplicated it, and arranged it to get exactly what I wanted.

Great job! I can't wait to install and use it. I'm looking forward to it helping me design and create the images I need for my daily work and life. Microsoft always surprises me. There are many similar products on the market, but very few provide a truly great experience. I'm going to start my Microsoft Designer journey right away.

Congratulations to my whole team on this launch! 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!

Congratulations on the launch!!! I use Microsoft Designer to make story boards for my case study sessions. It's amazing to see my students enjoy these sessions which are now more interesting and engaging.
