ChatGPT New Feature: Creating a PowerPoint presentation no longer requires hours of effort. OpenAI has launched a new feature for ChatGPT that allows users to create and edit slides directly within Microsoft PowerPoint. The key is that this doesn't require any design or presentation expertise. A complete slideshow can be created simply by providing instructions in plain language.

ChatGPT's new sidebar will be available in PowerPoint

As part of the new beta feature, a dedicated ChatGPT sidebar will appear in PowerPoint. Once installed, users will be able to interact with the chatbot directly within the app. This will make it easier to create new slides, update old presentations, convert notes into professional decks, or rewrite slide content. Users will no longer need to create each slide individually. ChatGPT will automatically organize the content and create a better presentation.

Complete presentation will be created from notes and data.

According to OpenAI, this feature can turn users' ideas into professional presentations in just minutes. Users can upload their notes, documents, Excel sheets, images, or old presentations and ask ChatGPT to convert them into slides.

Let's say you have meeting notes and company performance data. You can ask ChatGPT to create a 10-slide board presentation, including essential elements like an executive summary, a risk section, and next steps. Best of all, the finished slides are fully editable, allowing for changes if needed.

AI will also identify flaws in presentations, not just slides.

This feature isn't limited to just writing content. ChatGPT can also review presentations. It will point out where the storytelling flow is weak, what information is missing, and what questions you should be prepared for. This can make the presentation more effective and professional. This feature can prove to be especially helpful in business meetings and client presentations.

Editable slides can also be created from screenshots

OpenAI explains that ChatGPT can also handle various editing tasks to enhance slides. Users can ask the chatbot to shorten content, simplify language, clarify key points, or create chart slides from tables. Furthermore, screenshots can also be converted into editable PowerPoint slides, making it much easier to reuse old content.

Business users will get big benefits

This feature is proving to be very useful for companies. For example, account notes and usage data can be uploaded to create a unique presentation for a specific client. ChatGPT will then create a customized business review deck. Research notes can also be converted into client-ready presentations based on company templates.

Which users will get the new feature?

The ChatGPT integration for PowerPoint is currently available in a beta rollout and is available globally to users with various plans, including ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu, Teachers, and K-12 subscriptions.

How to use ChatGPT in PowerPoint?

To activate this feature, users will need to install the ChatGPT for PowerPoint add-in from the Add-ins section of PowerPoint or the Microsoft Marketplace. After signing in with an OpenAI account, ChatGPT will appear in the sidebar within PowerPoint. From here, users will be able to upload files and work directly on presentations.

A big step towards AI productivity tools

Prior to the PowerPoint integration, OpenAI had already introduced AI tools for Excel and Google Sheets. These made it easier to create spreadsheets, edit formulas, and analyze data. Now, this AI technology is being extended to presentation creation to save users time and speed up work.
