    PowerPoint: From Idea to Presentation

    Copilot in PowerPoint can generate entire slide decks from a prompt or an existing document.

    Creating Presentations:

    • "Create a 10-slide presentation about our 2026 product roadmap based on /Roadmap-Doc.docx"
    • "Build a training deck for new hires covering company culture, benefits, and policies"
    • "Make a pitch deck for Series B fundraising with market size, traction, and financials"

    Copilot generates slides with appropriate layouts, bullet points, and even suggests stock images. You can then refine individual slides.

    Editing Slides:

    • "Add a slide about competitive analysis after slide 5"
    • "Summarize this presentation into 3 key takeaway slides"
    • "Redesign slide 4 to use a two-column layout"
    • "Add speaker notes to all slides"

    Organizing & Restructuring:

    • "Reorganize these slides into a problem-solution-benefit structure"
    • "Remove redundant slides and consolidate the key points"

    Outlook: Email at the Speed of Thought

    Copilot in Outlook helps you write, summarize, and manage emails faster.

    Drafting Emails:

    Click "Draft with Copilot" in a new email window:

    • "Write a follow-up email to the client about their contract renewal. Tone: professional but warm."
    • "Reply to this thread summarizing my position and suggesting a meeting next week."
    • "Draft a polite decline to this vendor proposal, leaving the door open for future collaboration."

    Summarizing Email Threads:

    For long email chains with dozens of replies, click "Summary by Copilot" at the top of the thread:

    • Instantly see key decisions, action items, and open questions
    • Understand a 30-email thread in 30 seconds
    • Catch up on threads you were added to late

    Coaching & Tone Adjustment:

    Before sending, ask Copilot to review:

    • "Is this email clear and professional?"
    • "Make this shorter while keeping the key message"
    • "Adjust the tone — I want to be direct but not harsh"

    Calendar Integration:

    • "Find a time next week when all project leads are available"
    • "Schedule a 30-minute meeting with the design team"
