TL;DR
Microsoft: “Design Ideas is now available in Microsoft SharePoint, allowing page authors to enhance sections with new layouts and formatting”. Available now.

Details
When you first start a SharePoint editing session, a red dot will appear next to the Design Ideas icon to let you know there are ideas available. Select this icon to open the Design Ideas panel.


Design Ideas identifies the text and webpart content of the section you are authoring and suggests new layouts, backgrounds, text formatting, and image webparts to enhance the section. You can then select the suggestions and apply them.

When you click into a new section with one blank text webpart, Design Ideas will offer formatting options that you can add to get started.

After your section has additional content, Design Ideas will summarise your text to provide appropriate image webparts and background suggestions along with basic text formatting.
