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.
