Create Presentations Faster with ChatGPT AI for PowerPoint

AI-powered presentation creation right inside Microsoft PowerPoint. ChatGPT AI for PowerPoint gives you two tools: GPT Slides — which generates a complete presentation from a topic — and a free-form AI Chat assistant for refining your content.

​
Key Features

​
GPT Slides

Generate a full slide deck from scratch. Just enter your topic, choose your options, and the AI builds the entire presentation directly inside PowerPoint. What you configure:
  • Topic — describe the subject of your presentation
  • Number of slides — choose between 1 and 10 slides
  • Presentation style — pick the visual and content style:
    • 💼 Professional
    • 🧢 Casual
    • 🎓 Academic
    • 🎨 Creative
    • 🧊 Minimal
  • Target audience — choose who the presentation is for:
    • 🌍 General Audience
    • 👔 Executives
    • 📚 Students
    • 🧠 Technical Experts
    • 🧒 Children
  • Additional prompt — optional extra instructions (e.g., “include emojis”, “focus on cost savings”, “add a Q&A slide”)
The slides are generated and inserted directly into your PowerPoint file as you watch. GPT Slides in action

​
AI Chat

A free-form chat assistant that works with your selected slide content. Select text on a slide, then ask the assistant to help you improve, rewrite, or expand it. What you can do:
  • Ask questions about your presentation content
  • Get suggestions for slide improvements
  • Rewrite text for a different audience or tone
  • Generate speaker notes for a slide
  • Brainstorm ideas for new slides
  • Ask follow-up questions to refine results
  • Copy any response to your clipboard
Example prompts shown in the app:
  • “Create a presentation outline for my topic”
  • “Generate slide content for this section”
  • “Suggest design improvements for my slides”
  • “Write speaker notes for this presentation”

Tips & Best Practices

Match Style to Your Audience

Choose the right style and audience combination — a “Minimal + Executives” deck looks very different from a “Creative + Students” one.

Use Additional Prompt for Details

The Additional Prompt field is powerful. Add specific instructions like “include a timeline slide”, “use bullet points only”, or “add statistics where relevant.”

Refine with AI Chat

After generating slides with GPT Slides, switch to AI Chat to refine individual slides — improve wording, adjust tone, or add speaker notes.

Start with More Slides

Generate more slides than you need, then delete the ones that don’t fit. It’s faster than generating too few and adding more later.

​
Example Topics

Business:
  • “Q3 sales performance review for the executive team”
  • “Product roadmap for 2025 — technical audience”
Education:
  • “Introduction to machine learning for students”
  • “Climate change causes and solutions — general audience”
Internal:
  • “New employee onboarding overview”
  • “Team project update — casual style”

​
Troubleshooting

Try adding more detail to the Topic field and use the Additional Prompt to give specific instructions. For example: “Focus on the financial benefits, include 2 case study slides, and end with a call to action.”
This can happen with connection interruptions. Try generating again — you can delete the partially created slides first. Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
Try these steps:
  1. Close and reopen Microsoft PowerPoint
  2. Sign out and sign back in
  3. Check your internet connection
  4. Reinstall the add-in if the issue persists
Yes! The slides are inserted as normal PowerPoint slides. You can edit text, change layouts, add images, and modify anything just like any other slide.

​
Privacy & Security

Your presentations are safe:
