Here’s how I use it to generate entire presentations, add slides, and more.
You will also need a Copilot Pro subscription, which costs $20 per month.
If you don’t see Copilot, you’ll need to add it by updating your Microsoft 365 license.

To do that, head to File > Account and click Update License in the Product Information section.
Then, follow the instructions to sign in to your Microsoft account.
Ensure its the one with the Microsoft 365 and Copilot Pro subscriptions.
Then, close PowerPoint and relaunch ityou should be able to see Copilot now.
To do that, use the following syntax:Create a presentation about [Topic].
In the prompt, replaceTopicwith what you want Copilot to write about.
If you want it to include additional slides based on the topic, you could expand your prompt further.
For instance, I created apresentation about doomscrollingusing this prompt:Create a presentation about doomscrolling.
Also, it will include notes at the bottom of each slide, giving you a quick summary.
Take time to go through it and correct any errorsAI-generated content might consist of incorrect information.
One thing to remember is that Copilot might not have created the exact number of slides you stated.
It might add more or miss some (it’s not perfect).
The syntax is:Add a slide about [Topic].
I typed the following in Copilot:Add a slide about noticing thoughts without passing judgment.
I can even add an agenda to the entire presentation by typing:Add an agendaslide.
Ensure it’s short and sweet while being adequately descriptive so that Copilot understands what you mean.
It can suggest the best structure based on what it knows about it.
To do that, key in the following in Copilot:Organize this presentation.
Remember, you canuse Copilot in other Microsoft 365 appsas well.
Being able to use it in Microsoft 365 apps like this can significantly boost your productivity.
