@nycdatasci: Are you logging in via your enterprise account or your personal microsoft account? We only suppot microsoft personal accounts for now

Could you somehow share a screenshot and share on my email (on my bio). We would love to look at it and figure out a way to solve this

Yes, AI fill can basically expand your image. I would also recommend AI background replace which can change a background to what you describe - a product photo could look professional - or you can make yourself transport to a new destination like e beach, the moon :)

Thanks for asking - Designer helps make design for social media and other daily use cases like postcards, event posters etc. super easy

Suppose you get an idea for a tech event and want it to stand out - you would typically go to design tools and find the right template, add text and images and then drag the elements to ensure design looks good overall.

Designer aims to simplify this - you could just share your idea "a tech event about AI trends" and Designer will find you the template, images and even title (using GPT). You can then just review and make simple edits and you are good to go - this should save you a lot of time.

I would love if you would try the product (you just need to login with your Microsoft account) and share your thoughts on what you liked/disliked :)
