What is Bing Create?

Bing Create is an AI chat bot tool. Bing Create lives inside Windows Copilot on Windows 11, combining Bing Chat and ChatGPT plugins so users can generate images, rewrite copy and summarize on-screen content without leaving their apps. It favors convenience over deep creative controls, making it a fast drafting aid for Windows users rather than a full design suite.

Bing Create is the creative side of Microsoft's AI push inside Windows 11, delivered through Windows Copilot and the Bing Chat lineage. Announced at Build 2023, Windows Copilot puts an AI assistant button front and center on the taskbar, and the sidebar stays consistent across apps, programs and windows. Because it is built on Bing Chat and ChatGPT plugins, the same prompts that generate text answers can also drive image creation and content rewriting, which is why creative users treat it as a lightweight art and drafting companion rather than a standalone studio tool. The workflow is conversational. A user opens the Copilot sidebar, types a request, and gets generated output back in the same pane, without launching a separate application. Microsoft's own examples center on rewriting, summarizing and explaining content that is already on screen, and the plugin model extends those actions to third-party services. For creative tasks, the tool suits people who want quick visual drafts or copy variations while working in another window: writers, marketers and students who live inside Windows and do not want to switch context to a browser tab. Compared with dedicated generators such as Midjourney or standalone image tools, Bing Create trades fine-grained control for proximity. It is already where the work happens, it reaches first and third-party plugins, and it can hand off to the same conversational engine for text. The tradeoff is depth: prompt controls, style libraries and export options are thinner than in specialized creative suites. The Windows AI Library and ONNX Runtime sit underneath for developers who want to build their own experiences, but the end-user creative surface remains a general assistant with image and text generation attached. Consider it a convenience layer for everyday creative drafting on Windows 11, not a replacement for a professional design pipeline.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Built directly into Windows 11, with a taskbar button and a sidebar that persists across appsAI
  • Leans on the Bing Chat and ChatGPT plugin ecosystem, so creative requests share the assistant with text and search tasksAI
  • Handles rewriting, summarizing and explaining content already visible on screen, not just generation from scratchAI
  • Microsoft's silicon work with AMD, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm points to faster on-device AI over timeAI
  • No separate app launch or context switch for users who already work in WindowsAI

Cons

  • Few dedicated image controls are documented, so prompt handling and style options appear basic next to specialist generatorsAI
  • Availability was tied to a Windows 11 preview in June 2023, which limits access for other platforms and older Windows versionsAI
  • The plugin model means creative capability depends on third-party integrations rather than a fixed built-in feature setAI
  • The announcement materials give no detail on image resolution, usage rights or commercial licensing for generated outputAI
  • It is positioned as a general productivity assistant, so creative work is secondary to text and task assistanceAI
