How to use PowerPoint Creator & Editor in your AI agent

What you'll get

This skill lets you build professional slide decks from scratch, extract content from existing presentations, or edit templates—all through simple requests to your AI assistant. You describe what you want ("Make me a Q3 roadmap deck" or "Pull the text from this pitch deck"), and the agent handles the file work behind the scenes. It includes design guidance so your decks don't look generic.
