5 Coolest things you can do in Copilot Pro and PowerPoint
Imagine this: you’re at your desk on a seemingly ordinary Thursday afternoon.
You’re sipping your third cup of coffee, sorting through emails, when suddenly, a message pops up from your CFO on Teams.
“Looking forward to your AI in Finance presentation tomorrow!” it reads.
Your heart skips a beat.
That’s right, the presentation!
In the hustle and bustle of your busy week, it completely slipped your mind.
What do you do?
Panic?
Consider calling in sick?
Maybe a sudden cough starts to develop?
No, there’s a better way.
You remember that you activated Microsoft Copilot Pro for PowerPoint just last week.
With a deep breath and a glimmer of hope, you ask Copilot Pro to create the presentation for you.
And just like that, your day is saved.
Now, maybe I have exaggerated in my story, but here are 5 ways I believe you can use Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint.
1. Create Entire Presentations with One Prompt
Imagine the ease of creating a full-fledged presentation with just a single prompt.
With Copilot Pro, this is not just a dream but a reality. When you input a topic into Copilot Pro, it generates a complete presentation for you.
Each slide is meticulously crafted, filled with insightful content, engaging visuals, and helpful speaker notes.
What once seemed like an overwhelming task is now achievable in minutes. This tool is especially valuable for professionals who need to prepare presentations on short notice.
2. Generate a Summary Slide
Creating a summary slide is often a time-consuming task, requiring a fine balance of brevity and comprehensiveness.
Copilot Pro simplifies this by automatically analyzing your presentation and generating a concise summary slide.
This feature is a boon for presenters who need to emphasize key points or for audiences who benefit from a brief overview.
It ensures that the core message of your presentation is effectively communicated and remembered.

3. Generate new slides
Beyond just creating a starting set of slides, Copilot Pro can dynamically generate additional slides as needed.
This means if you want to expand on a particular topic or need to add more content, Copilot Pro can seamlessly create new slides that integrate perfectly with the existing presentation.
This feature is particularly useful for tailoring your presentation to specific audience needs or for adding last-minute updates without disrupting the flow of your content.
4. Generate new content for your slides
Updating and enriching your presentation with new content can be a very time consuming task.
Copilot Pro alleviates this challenge by generating fresh content for your slides.
Whether it’s adding more detailed explanations, updating statistics, or incorporating new findings, Copilot Pro ensures your presentation stays relevant and engaging.
This feature is invaluable for keeping your presentation up-to-date, especially in fields where information changes rapidly.
5. Ask questions based on the content of your slides
Finally, Copilot Pro enhances audience engagement by generating questions based on the content of your slides.
This feature encourages interaction and deeper understanding, making your presentation more than just a one-way communication.
It’s ideal for educational settings, workshops, or any scenario where audience participation is key. These questions can also serve as a tool for the presenter to gauge audience comprehension and adjust the presentation accordingly.
My Conclusion on Copilot Pro in PowerPoint
After trying it, I believe the combination of Copilot Pro and PowerPoint is going to help people prepare more and better presentations faster.
It’s not just about creating visually appealing presentations but about making the process intuitive, efficient, and interactive.
These innovative features cater to the needs of today’s professionals, educators, and anyone looking to convey their ideas effectively.
