explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you are preparing for a big presentation. Traditionally, you would gather all your notes, organize your thoughts, and then manually create slides in PowerPoint. This process can be time-consuming and requires a lot of attention to detail to ensure everything flows well and looks professional.

Now, think of Microsoft Copilot as your personal assistant who helps streamline this process. Instead of starting from scratch, you can provide Copilot with a page of information, and it will generate a PowerPoint presentation for you. It's like having a chef who, instead of just giving you a recipe, prepares the meal based on the ingredients you have. You still have control over the final product, but Copilot takes care of the initial heavy lifting.

This tool is part of Microsoft 365, which means it's integrated with other apps you might already be using, like Word and Excel. It's designed to work seamlessly across these platforms, making it easier to pull information from different sources. For example, if you have data in an Excel spreadsheet, Copilot can incorporate that into your presentation, just like a chef might use ingredients from your pantry to enhance the dish.

In essence, Microsoft Copilot is there to save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on refining your message and delivery rather than getting bogged down in the technicalities of slide creation. It's a development that aims to make your work life a bit easier, much like how a GPS helps you navigate to your destination without needing to memorize the entire route.
