- Suggest clean, readable layouts.
- Produce visuals such as images or icons.

Generate content and media with AI
Copilotcan create slide text, titles, speaker notes, and visuals based on a short prompt or pasted text. You can get started by:
- Entering a topic or outline.
- Pasting existing copy.
- Requesting visuals such as icons, images, or simple charts.
The tool analyzes the input and produces ready‑to‑use content that can be adjusted for tone, depth, and style. This approach saves time while giving you control over accuracy and customization.
Get started with hundreds of templates
PowerPoint offers a wide range of professionally designed templates suited for:
- Business presentations
- Education and training
- Creative projects
- Corporate decks
- Pitch presentations
- Lesson plans
Templates help you begin quickly, maintain visual consistency, and avoid building layouts from a blank slide. Organizations can also import and use their own branded templates to match internal standards.

You can paste or type text, and builds a full presentation automatically. This approach works well for both first‑time and experienced creators who want to get started quickly.
The tool arranges the content into logical sections, applies clean layouts, and prepares slides ready for further refinement.

How to take your presentations to the next level
Write effective prompts
Strong, clear prompts help Copilot understand what you want and helps to produce slide content that matches your purpose. This also reduces guesswork and improves the quality of your first draft.
When writing prompts:
- State your goal: The specific information or outcome you’re looking for (e.g., security‑focused guidance).
- Give context: Why you need the information or how it will be used.
- Set expectations: Establish any formatting, style, or audience requirements.
- Check your sources: Offer any data, references, or tools you want Copilot to draw from, and ask for citations from unknown information.
Enhance your research with an AI research agent
An AI research agent acts as a helper that collects, organizes, and summarizes information from multiple sources. It speeds up research by finding credible material, capturing essential points, and arranging insights into clear structures. This lets you focus on reviewing findings and making decisions instead of searching through many documents.
Benefits include:
- Faster access to relevant information.
- Organized summaries to guide your slides.
- Consolidated insights that support stronger storytelling.
Use an AI image generator for advanced visual generation
If your slide needs a photo or illustration you can’t locate, an AI image generator can produce custom visuals that support your message. These tools create images that match your prompt, helping you add visual clarity without spending time searching for stock photos.
Use an AI art generator when you want:
- A specific visual style you can’t locate.
- A unique image that fits your topic.
- Graphics that reinforce slide text.
