If you need to create presentations that showcase your business and products to customers, investors, and partners, or if you need to develop internal training materials for your employees but find PowerPoint daunting and time-consuming, then Microsoft 365 Copilot is a game-changer for you.
Copilot for Powerpoint is going to be a game-changer
Copilot in PowerPoint uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help you create, edit, and understand your presentations. Based on your data and message, it can suggest layouts, designs, themes, images, icons, and animations. It can detect and fix errors, format your data, and automate tasks. With Copilot, you can save time, avoid mistakes, and impress your audience with your presentations.
Copilot can help you with various tasks in PowerPoint, such as:
Creating slides:
You can type a natural language question or request in the Copilot pane, and Copilot will suggest one or more slides that match your intent. For example, if you type “show me a slide of sales by product category”, Copilot will suggest a slide that shows a pie chart of sales by product category in your data. You can then insert the slide into your presentation by clicking on it or pressing Enter.
Creating designs:
You can also use Copilot to create designs based on your data and message. For example, if you type “make this slide look professional”, Copilot will suggest a design that applies a theme, a colour scheme, a font style, and an alignment to your slide. You can then apply the design to your slide by clicking on it or pressing Enter.
Creating images:
You can use Copilot to create images that illustrate or enhance your data and message. For example, if you type “add an image of a happy customer”, Copilot will suggest an image that shows a happy customer related to your product or service. You can then insert the image into your slide by clicking on it or pressing Enter.
Fixing errors:
You can use Copilot to detect and fix errors in your slides, data, or designs. For example, if you have a slide with spelling or grammar mistakes, you can type “fix this slide” in the Copilot pane, and Copilot will suggest corrections for the mistakes. You can then apply the corrections by clicking on them or pressing Enter.
Formatting data:
You can use Copilot to format your data according to your preferences or standards. For example, suppose you want to change the currency format of your sales data from US dollars to euros. In that case, you can type “change currency format to euros” in the Copilot pane. Copilot will suggest a formatting option that changes the currency symbol and the decimal separator. You can then apply the formatting by clicking on it or pressing Enter.
Automating tasks:
You can use Copilot to automate repetitive or complex tasks in PowerPoint. For example, suppose you want to create a monthly report based on your sales data. In that case, you can type “create a monthly report” in the Copilot pane, and Copilot will suggest a template that includes a title slide, an agenda slide, a summary slide, and a detailed analysis slide of your data. You can then customise the template by adding or removing slides, changing the content, or editing the design.
