Copilot in PowerPoint: create a presentation from an idea or a Word file
Official steps to create a presentation with Copilot in PowerPoint (Agent Mode), from a Word file, and licensing notes.
Copilot in PowerPoint: new presentation > Copilot icon > Add Content > Agent Mode, describe it, answer clarifying questions, refine the outline, then generate and edit slides. Create from one Word file (type “/” with Copilot Pro; PDF too with Microsoft 365 Copilot). Without a Microsoft Designer license you can summarize and ask questions, but not create slides or add images. Start from your template; check facts. See presentations with AI.
