Many of us know that OpenAI’s ChatGPT has innumerable offerings. One of the most useful is to automate a PowerPoint Presentation. The ethics behind this remains grey or black in the world of plagiarism, so proceed with caution. Either way, this is nifty way to entertain yourself or create presentations for Toastmasters International meetings.

The recipe is simple and requires very few ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

(1) OpenAI ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/

(1) Microsoft PowerPoint: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/powerpoint

RECIPE

The recipe has two parts, one for each ingredient. Let’s start with ChatGPT as the first part. Then we’ll open PowerPoint for the second.

Open a browser and navigate to https://chat.openai.com/.

The free ChatGPT 3.5 version or GPT-4 will both work.

In ChatGPT, the prompt should be in this format or something similar:

Write VBA code for a PowerPoint presentation about [SUBJECT].
Fill n slides with relevant headers and slide content using your knowledge.
Do not use filler text.

Fill in [SUBJECT] with the topic of interest. Make sure to use quotation marks if you explain the topic with multiple words.

Change the n value of slides to the number of slides you want.
