summary for non-techies**
Microsoft is introducing a new feature in PowerPoint, powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot, that will automatically generate summaries of presentations, available by default on Windows and Mac desktop versions starting mid-April 2025.
Direct effects for Operations**
Automatic Presentation Summary Feature
Users may be confused by the automatic summary feature if they are not informed about its functionality, leading to misunderstandings of the content presented.
