At $20 per month, Microsoft’s Copilot Pro works with Microsoft 365 to bring AI-infused assistance to various apps in the suite, including PowerPoint. You can use Copilot’s AI skills to create a new presentation, organize your presentation, summarize a presentation, and answer questions about the content of a presentation. Here’s how the technology works.
First, you’ll need a subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal or Family. Priced at $70 per year, the Personal edition is designed for one person using up to five devices. At $100 per year, the Family edition is aimed at up to six people on as many as five devices. The core apps in the suite include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote.

After you submit your request, Copilot generates the title slide and a few subsequent slides for your review.
After reviewing the generated slides, you may want to ask Copilot to add more slides, perhaps focusing on a specific area of your topic. At the prompt, type your request for the additional slides you want, and Copilot will create them.
Copilot can create a summary of your presentation to highlight the key points. At the prompt, ask Copilot to summarize the presentation. In response, the tool displays a summary of the main ideas.
Finally, you can ask specific questions about the content of the presentation. Copilot suggests some questions you can ask. You can select one of those questions if you wish. Otherwise, submit your question, and Copilot will display the answer.
