Microsoft brings AI to PowerPoint with the Copilot feature

Microsoft seems to have gone all-in on artificial intelligence (AI) after the huge and newfound enthusiasm for Bing Chat. The company indeed announced today Copilot, a new feature for PowerPoint based precisely on AI.

How Copilot will work: Microsoft PowerPoint AI

Copilot will allow users to interact with PowerPoint in a conversational way (just like on Bing Chat and ChatGPT). It will thus be possible to ask AI to create PowerPoint presentations in an automated waystarting from the indications that the user will give to the artificial intelligence.

Users will then be able to use commands such as “add animations to this slide” or “apply a different style to this slide”. This way you don’t have to manually work on the project. Not only that: AI will be able to provide suggestions to users, to stimulate the creativity of their projects. In announcing the Copilot, Microsoft said:

“Copilot in PowerPoint helps you turn your ideas into stunning presentations. As a narrator partner, Copilot can turn written documents into slides complete with speaker notes and sources, or start a new presentation from a simple prompt.”

The WindowsCentral portal reports that Microsoft is willing to introduce AI functionality also on Word, Excel and Outlook. It has not been announced at this time when Copilot will be released to the public.
