Imagine you're working on a presentation and you're staring at a blank slide, unsure of how to start. Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint is like having a personal assistant who can help you craft the perfect message. Just like when you tell a friend what you want to say and they help you find the right words, Copilot listens to your description in plain language and suggests a title, summary, or captions that fit your slide's content.

Think of it as having a co-author who understands the context of your presentation and can suggest text that makes your ideas shine. This feature is especially useful when you're pressed for time or need a fresh perspective. You provide the essence of what you want to convey, and Copilot helps you transform that into polished text, saving you the effort of starting from scratch.

It's similar to having a GPS for your writing. You know your destination, but Copilot helps you find the best route to get there. This tool is available on the desktop version of PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 users, making it accessible to anyone who needs a little extra help turning their thoughts into compelling slides.
