The image above is a slide that Copilot created given a wordy couple of paragraphs I fed it without even editing the verbiage. It boiled down the theme and provided a photo image that goes with the content.
This could potentially save webcast presentation makers a lot of time and effort.
Here's a short tutorial on how to use it:Step 1: Enable Copilot in PowerPoint
- Open PowerPoint on your desktop or in Microsoft 365.
- Look for the Copilot button in the toolbar (available in Microsoft 365 with Copilot access).
- Click Copilot to activate the AI-powered assistant.
Step 2: Generate a Presentation from Scratch
- Click Copilot and type a prompt such as:
"Create a presentation on the impact of AI in HR with five slides covering key trends, benefits, and challenges given the information I'm pasting below." - Copilot will generate an initial slide deck with text, images, and layout suggestions.
- Review the slides and edit or refine the content using Copilot’s suggested improvements.
Step 3: Enhance an Existing Presentation
- Open an existing PowerPoint file.
- Click Copilot and type:
"Summarize this slide deck into key takeaways," or "Make this more visually engaging." - Copilot will suggest design enhancements, reword key points, or create a summary slide.
Step 4: Design and Format Slides
- Use Copilot to adjust slide design by typing:
"Make this slide more professional," or "Use a modern theme." - Copilot can suggest fonts, layouts, and color schemes to match your presentation’s tone.
- For specific slides, ask: "Rearrange this content into bullet points for clarity."
Step 5: Generate Speaker Notes and Summaries
- Click on Copilot and request:
"Generate speaker notes for this slide," or "Summarize this presentation into three key messages." - Use the AI-generated notes to guide your presentation delivery.
Step 6: Add Visuals and Icons
- Ask Copilot to insert relevant images:
"Find a stock image for AI in HR." - It can also suggest icons or graphs to represent data clearly.
Final Tips:
- Play Around: It pays to fool around with this capability until you learn to get what you want out of out. Practice makes perfect.
Refine Content: Always review and tweak Copilot’s output to align with your exact needs. - Iterate Commands: If the first attempt isn’t perfect, try different prompts like "Make this slide more concise."
- Use Smart Formatting: Copilot can help maintain a consistent style across slides.
