Remix, Reuse, Reimagine: How Microsoft’s Copilot Creator Gallery Unlocks AI Image Creativity

Remix, Reuse, Reimagine: How Microsoft’s Copilot Creator Gallery Unlocks AI Image Creativity

Microsoft’s Copilot Creator Gallery is quietly reshaping how business users, educators, and creators engage with AI-generated content. Here’s how to tap into its remixable feed to spark ideas, streamline workflows, and elevate your visual storytelling.

Copilot
What if your next big idea started with someone else’s?

Here's a Cool Tip: Copilot Creator Gallery.

It's a new, quietly launched feature that turns AI-generated images into a collaborative playground. 

Think Pinterest meets Midjourney, but with a productivity twist. 

You don’t just browse. 

You remix. 

You learn from the prompt. 

You make it your own.

For business users and educators who’ve dabbled in AI image generation but felt stuck in a vacuum, this gallery offers something fresh: a curated, remixable feed of user-generated content designed to inspire, not overwhelm.
Copilot Creator Gallery

What Is the Copilot Creator Gallery?

The Copilot Creator Gallery is a dedicated feed inside Microsoft Copilot that showcases AI-generated images. 

Users can browse, like, remix, and even view the original prompts behind each creation. 

It’s part of Microsoft’s broader push to make Copilot not just a productivity assistant, but a creative hub.

Unlike traditional image generators, the Gallery emphasizes reuse and learning. 

You’re not starting from scratch; you’re building on what others have made. 

For marketers, educators, and content creators, that’s a game-changer.

What You'll Gain
  • Discover remixable AI images for fast content creation.
  • Learn from real prompts to improve your own Copilot results.
  • Save time by adapting existing visuals for presentations, lessons, or campaigns.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here's how to do it.

Microsoft Web/Desktop
  1. Open Copilot, copilot.microsoft.com,  in your browser.
  2. Click on “Creator Gallery” from the sidebar or homepage.
  3. Browse the feed
  4. Click any image to view its prompt.
  5. Select “Remix” to generate your own version using Copilot.
Copilot Creator Gallery

fig. 1 - Copilot Creator Gallery

iOS
  1. Launch the Copilot app.
  2. Tap the “Gallery” tab.
  3. Scroll through featured creations.
  4. Tap “Remix” to customize and regenerate.

Android
  1. Open the Copilot app.
  2. Navigate to the “Creator Gallery” section.
  3. Tap any item to view details.
  4. Use the “Remix” button to personalize it.

Pros and Cons

The Gallery’s biggest strength is its remixability. 

You’re not just consuming; you’re creating with context. 

For educators, this means turning a science diagram into a classroom-ready visual in seconds. 

For marketers, it’s a shortcut to branded assets without starting from zero.

But it’s not perfect. 

The feed is still in early rollout, and some users may find the content skewed toward aesthetic rather than utility. 

There’s also no public tagging system yet, which makes niche discovery harder.

Still, the potential is clear: a collaborative, AI-powered media library that evolves with its users.

Configuration Guide

Currently, the Gallery is available via the Copilot web interface and mobile apps. 

No setup is required, but users must be signed into their Microsoft account. 

Feature Access

Available to all Microsoft Copilot users.

No subscription required for browsing or remixing.

Accessible via web, iOS, and Android apps.

Still in staged rollout, some users may see limited content.

Score

Criterion | Score | Justification

Value: 9/10 
Enables fast, contextual content creation for business, education, and marketing use cases.

Usability: 8/10 
Simple interface with intuitive remix options, though discovery tools could improve.

Wow Factor: 9/10 
The ability to remix AI-generated content with prompt transparency is genuinely clever.

Total Score: 26/30 🌟 Excellent. Highly recommended for immediate use.

Key Takeaways

Microsoft’s Copilot Creator Gallery is more than a feed, it’s a remixable content engine. 

Whether you’re teaching, marketing, or storytelling, it offers a shortcut to creativity with built-in learning. 

And it’s only getting better.

Google’s AI Tool That Turns Text Into Visual Ideas

Google’s AI Tool That Turns Text Into Visual Ideas

Google Mixboard is a new experiment from Google Labs that lets you spin out visual ideas by mixing text prompts and images. For product designers, teachers, creators, or anyone juggling visual inspiration, it might shortcut part of your creative grunt work.

By Rodger Mansfield, Technology Editor
September 26, 2025


Mixboard Monster
Have you ever stared at a blank screen, a text prompt cursor blinking mockingly at you, knowing exactly what you want to achieve visually but having no efficient way to start? 

How about you want to create funny monsters?

Here's a FridayFunday Cool Tip:  Try the new Google Mixboard.

What Is Mixboard, and Why It Matters

Imagine sketching a mood board, but instead of dragging in images manually, you just type a phrase like “funny Googly eye monsters” and the app fills the board with visual suggestions. 

You can:
  • Start from a blank board, a prompt, or one of several pre-populated templates.
  • Upload your own images or have the tool generate visuals via AI.
  • Use natural-language commands to tweak things (“make background darker,” “add more eyes”) thanks to a specialized image model under the hood, called Nano Banana.
  • Hit “regenerate” or “more like this” to iterate quickly.
  • Generate contextual text from images on the board (e.g. captions or descriptions).

It’s currently in public beta in the U.S. only and is explicitly experimental. 

Google sees it as a testing ground rather than a fully fleshed product.

iOS 26’s Liquid Glass Redesign Isn’t Just Eye Candy: It’s a Smarter Way to Work

iOS 26’s Liquid Glass Redesign Isn’t Just Eye Candy: It’s a Smarter Way to Work

Apple’s iOS 26 introduces a visually stunning Liquid Glass interface and productivity-enhancing features.

September 16, 2025


iOS
Ever wished your iPhone could screen calls like a savvy assistant and look like it belongs in a sci-fi film? 

Here's a Cool Tip: Install Apple's latest update, iOS 26.

The Liquid Glass design is grabbing headlines, but beneath the shimmer lies a suite of features that quietly reshape how business users, educators, and productivity enthusiasts interact with their devices.

Feature Explanation

The centerpiece of iOS 26 is the Liquid Glass interface, a translucent, fluid design that adapts to your wallpaper, refracts light, and morphs across apps. 

It’s more than just aesthetic. 

Apple’s goal is to unify the user experience across devices, making transitions feel seamless whether you’re switching from iPhone to iPad or Mac.

But the real productivity punch comes from features like:
  1. Call Screening: Unknown callers are prompted to state their name and reason before your phone even rings.
  2. Visual Intelligence: Context-aware actions based on what’s on your screen, like adding calendar events or summarizing text.
