1. Meet Copilot in PowerPoint: Storyboard Your First Deck
Hi, and welcome to the course!2. Meet your instructor...
This course was created by Susanth Sutheesh, Senior Solutions Engineer for Copilot and Agentic AI at Microsoft. He's seen firsthand how Copilot can transform how teams share insights and drive decisions with presentations.3. Why This Matters

turn raw data into a decision. But getting there is rarely easy.7. Why This Matters
We've all been there — a looming presentation deadline and an empty slide deck. We're left juggling source documents, spreadsheets, and emails, trying to synthesize the findings into a simple and compelling narrative that drives action.8. Why This Matters
Copilot can help you break that creative block and turn disparate information into clear insights. Think of it as a presentation partner that turns your ideas into a structured story. And it's not just about going faster. By suggesting a clear structure, tightening your message, and tailoring content to your audience, Copilot helps you build presentations that are more effective — not only quicker to make.9. Example: EcoCharge EV Battery Performance
Imagine you've just joined BrightWave Energy's annual strategy meeting. Your manager asks you to make a quick presentation showing how the EcoCharge EV Battery is performing this year. Instead of starting from scratch and spending hours trawling through reports and data,10. Example: EcoCharge EV Battery Performance
you can tell Copilot what you need, and let it handle the analysis and presentation structure for you.11. Generating a Presentation with Copilot
Copilot is available in the PowerPoint app,12. Generating a Presentation with Copilot
and the chat interface it opens up can be used to orchestrate virtually all elements of the deck's design.13. Generating a Presentation with Copilot
Key to this interface is choosing whether Copilot has permission to edit our slide deck or not. If we're creating or refining a slide deck, we'll need those edit permissions. If we're asking general design or content questions, we can stick with just chatting.14. Generating a Presentation with Copilot
With edit permissions given, we can prompt it to create a 7-slide presentation for a fictional EV battery company used for internal strategy review. Copilot considers this input, and if anything is unclear or ambiguous,15. Generating a Presentation with Copilot
it proactively asks for more information — who the audience is, how many slides, whether it should research the topic for you, and more. This means it builds exactly what we're envisioning, rather than guessing. We'll learn to write more structured prompts to reduce the amount of iteration in the next video.16.

Copilot then works through the deck, planning the structure and content, choosing a design, and adding visuals.17. Refining and Polishing
You can guide the design and image choices in your initial prompt or by chatting — for example, asking for a particular style or applying your organization's branding.18. Refining and Polishing
The draft can take a little time to appear, especially while images are generated, but once it's ready, you can refine it by continuing the conversation.19. Let's practice!
