“Design” and “designer” are too generic terms. The web page doesn’t really tell me what this is about. You say “create just about anything you can describe”. But I guess this tool maybe is not for designing (say) clothes (as in cuts), or a 3D model, or a floor plan, or a CPU, or a Git workflow, or a software architecture, or a PowerPoint presentation. My best guess from the web page is that it is for creating single-page 2D documents with images and a bit of text, but I’m not really sure.

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 :)
