ChatGPT for Microsoft PowerPoint – Generate Content with AI

Please download the resources from this lecture if you want to work on the same template that I created during this course.

Let us open up our account and learn the concept of using ChatGPT for PowerPoint. Learn basic prompting and how to maneuver around the app.

I want to be practical in this course and show you real-world applicability. In this lecture, we will write a prompt that will result in sample content for our ms powerpoint slides.

Here I want to explain the concept of Prompt Engineering. We will write up a few example prompts and be very mindful of what and how we write.

Here we are going even deeper and putting our prompt engineering skills to use. We will draft a prompt that will generate content for our presentation. We will use the example of Apple and Microsoft and try to build a deck with this information later on.

This course is meant to be hands-on and with this lecture, I want to show you how I prepare myself for success in my PowerPoint presentations. I want to show you how to establish a simple template. This is an advanced powerpoint topic but we will go relatively simple here - use a font and color scheme as the base of our work.

Let us create a custom and unique title slide for our presentation. This kind of design would be suitable for any kind of topic. You will learn my workflow of creating such slides.

In this section, you will learn the quickest possible way to automate the creation process of your ms PowerPoint presentation. Here I want to show you a technique with Word online. You can copy over the generated content into Word online, use the option to export that as a PowerPoint presentation and it will automatically open a ready presentation with your selected design with PowerPoint online.

Another way of importing presentations is using Outlines created inside of Microsoft Word. This will work both for windows and MAC. On a MAC machine, be sure to save the outline as an *.rtf extension. On Windows, you are allowed to save it as docx.

Let me clarify what this section is about and why I don't think that an automated, quickly-exported presentation is the best thing you can get. I will compare what we currently know about PowerPoint Designer, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. Once Copilot launches it still will be very expensive for most users.

In this lecture, I want to rephrase certain ChatGPT results to match what we are trying to explain in the presentation. The content must be fitting to our next slide.

Here we are creating a slide about Microsoft's Philosophy. We will use the text generated by ChatGPT and put it into our custom-made and advanced PowerPoint presentation.

One of the most interesting tricks I found out with using ChatGPT is generating analogies that I myself have trouble coming up with. Why is this a big deal? Analogies can be perfect for simple-to-understand presentations and allow us to create animations to easier explain some topics.

Another interesting idea is using ChatGPT to generate tables, or rather content formatted directly into a table. This can be used both for reading, understanding something easier, and of course to generate content for Microsoft PowerPoint. The good thing here is that we can directly copy and paste the content inside of Powerpoint.

Priming is like carving in ChatGPT to adjust it to our liking. By priming we talk to ChatGPT and explain to it how it should act and write. What tone to use, level of complication, and elaboration. In a few simple examples, I will showcase how the results will vary, so we also need to be careful about what we ask for and in what manner we expect the results to be.

In this lecture, we are going into PowerPoint to start another slide design for Microsoft's success factors. We will, as usual, use ChatGPT to generate content and bring it inside of PowerPoint to stay consistent with previous designs.

In this lecture we continue to work on our PowerPoint slide to finish the design.

I want to show to you what can be achieved with animation in PowerPoint. In this short lecture I will try to teach you as much as possible about powerpoint animation. We will use fade and fly in animations to animate text, shapes and other elements.

This is a complimentary lecture to our previous animation lecture. I will show you how to use the animation painter to animate elements quickly and without problems. Animation Painter in PowerPoint is a unique feature that allows us to animate elements with one click if we already have other elements pre-formatted and animated.

We can use ChatGPT as a constructive critic to ask if our presentation will be interesting, if we made mistakes or if what we wrote makes sense. Use it on already written content or content written by ChatGPT itself. It's an interesting "reverse" way of prompting.

In this lecture, I want to showcase how you can do revisions of what you wrote in order to adjust and change the content to more suit your needs. This is handy, especially for PowerPoint presentations where we rather want to have less text.

We can use ChatGPT to generate key points out of bigger blocks of text or ask it to reduce the existing text to our desired amount.

Thank you very much for taking part in this PowerPoint & ChatGPT course. I hope you have learned a lot and it was an eye-opening experience. I truly believe we can leverage AI features to elevate our work but we also need to proceed with caution and do things ourselves where we think its best for the product we are creating - in the case of this course...a PowerPoint presentation!

This is a bonus lecture for the course.
