One of the best features of Microsoft's SwiftKey keyboard is that it lets you generate images and memes using AI. And it lets you do this without having to open any other application or use any third-party tool. The feature is also completely free to use, so anyone with the keyboard can use it. All you need to do to start using it is to sign in to your Microsoft account. If you don't have such an account, you will need to sign up for it.
