Copilot in PowerPoint: Microsoft's Transformation From Document To Slides | Shawn Villaron PtS 2023

Shawn Villaron
Principal Group Program Manager, Microsoft PowerPoint

AI is changing everything — and PowerPoint is no exception. But what does that actually look like in practice?

In this fascinating session from Present to Succeed, Shawn Villaron from the Microsoft PowerPoint team pulls back the curtain on how AI is being woven into PowerPoint — not to create more slides or keep you in the app longer, but to make you more successful, faster. From the origins of PowerPoint Designer nearly a decade ago to the live demo of Copilot in PowerPoint turning a Word document into a 12-slide presentation in under a minute, this is as close a look as you'll get at where the world's most-used presentation software is heading.

Shawn also addresses the responsible AI principles guiding every decision at Microsoft — including the story of a feature they built, tested, and then deliberately chose not to ship. Plus a candid Q&A on enterprise branding, multiple source documents, and when Copilot will actually be available.
