■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

Microsoft has integrated ChatGPT into PowerPoint, allowing most users to generate slides with AI assistance starting today.

The integration enables users to leverage artificial intelligence for slide creation directly within the presentation software. Users can input prompts and have ChatGPT automatically generate slide content, layouts, and text based on their specifications. This addition represents Microsoft's broader effort to embed AI capabilities across its Office suite. The rollout began reaching users immediately, with availability expanding to most accounts in the coming days. The feature allows presenters to accelerate workflow by automating the initial content generation phase. Users retain full control to edit, modify, or replace AI-generated content before finalizing presentations. Microsoft has been integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT technology across multiple productivity tools, including Word and Excel, as part of its Copilot initiative.
