Thanks for sharing. I am wondering if anyone can share a guidance on prompt to be used for creating powerpoint slides?

Hello CindyZhao1 , this would depend on what kind of PowerPoint slides you want to create - e.g. are they based on a document, based on your notes, based on a topic.
PowerPoint Agent is a nice tool to start - it is a dedicated agent built within Copilot app where you can tell it what kind of PowerPoint slides you want to create and provide it your inputs. It will ask you some clarification questions & in a few minutes you'll have a nice first draft. Find out more about it here
