I recently stumbled upon this announcement of the long awaited Copilot Pro. I need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation this week so any capacity to use this for free would be tremendous. Thanks y’all!

    [no solution for you, just a comment] - making slide presentations is such a waste of time that I actually think this is a great use case for AI-driven automation.

      That’s because most people don’t know how to make them. When your presenter is basically reading the slides to everyone and making a few comments, they’re doing it wrong.

      1. No text slide should be on the screen for more than 4 seconds. (2-3 is better) And it must be fully readable in that time.
      2. Charts, graphs, and images can be up for as long as needed, but the only text should label specific parts.
      3. Don’t use fancy transitions or pretty backgrounds for anything.
      4. Breaking the above rules is okay once or twice, if you have a very specific reason for that specific slide.

    I use Copilot fully integrated with Office 365 in my work, and was one of the beta testers back in November. Anecdotally, it’s no better than any other LLM, and I have found hallucinates significantly more than ChatGPT. The Office integration is useful and I do use it more than any other AI tool for its convenience being ‘inside’ of Excel / Outlook etc, but you aren’t missing much by not having it.

      I’m convinced it’ll be like power automate, that can’t even automate the most basic of tasks outside of really super specific tasks buried deep within their software.

      If Microsoft is good at anything, it’s mediocrity.

    Think it’s restricted to O365 Enterprise & Education customers (in certain regions) for the moment, don’t think it’d be possible to get it for free, at least for now

    You also might not need CoPilot. You can just ask GPT yo produce an airline for the presentation, ith the information you provide, You could even ask it to leave placeholders for images.

    It won’t be an award winning presentation, but if you don’t care too much, GPT mass pretty average presentations.
