PowerPoint AI Tips with Ami Diamond

Key insights

• AI Skills in PowerPoint: AI Skills are reusable, instruction-based tools inside Copilot that help you automate common presentation tasks like reviewing, restructuring, and summarizing slides.
  They let you run a prebuilt workflow instead of writing the same prompt every time.
• How to run skills: Open the Copilot pane, choose Skills or Choose skills, and pick a skill to run it.
  You can also invoke a skill directly with an @mention in the prompt box for faster access.
• Custom skills setup: Create a OneDrive folder for skills and put each skill in its own folder with a SKILL.md file; PowerPoint supports uploading ZIPs too.
  This lets teams add domain-specific workflows that appear inside the Copilot pane.
• Manage and deploy: Use Manage skills in Copilot to add or remove skills and control organizational access.
  Copilot in PowerPoint is available on Windows, Mac, and the web, with staged rollouts for broader audiences.
• Key benefits and use cases: Skills improve speed, consistency, and repeatability for tasks like executive briefs, sales decks, compliance checks, and image or slide generation.
  They work best for repetitive workflows you want to standardize across teams.
• Practical tips: Test custom skills before wide deployment and document expected inputs and outputs for users.
  Ami Diamond demonstrates practical creation, use, and admin management of skills, highlighting how skills shift teams from one-off prompts to reliable workflows.
