Microsoft's new AI-powered Paste is way cooler than it should be

PowerToys, the free suite of Microsoft user tools, has added a subtly powerful feature: Advanced Paste, which applies AI to a group of data that you've cut or copied, or wish to paste elsewhere. It's a weird but surprisingly cool concept, geared toward developers but with applications in a variety of different areas. In 2023, we listed all of the various tools within PowerToys: from FancyZones to Image Resizer to a suite of Mouse Utilities, plus a lot more. Microsoft provides PowerToys as an installer, with the ability to download and run any of the apps you want. Now you can add Advanced Paste to the list.
