PowerPoint Creator & Editor

Create pitch decks, read slides, and edit presentations without touching PowerPoint.

What it is

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.

What it does

  • Creates PowerPoint presentations from scratch with custom layouts, colors, and typography
  • Reads and extracts text, notes, and content from any .pptx file
  • Edits existing slide decks by modifying content, layouts, or styling
  • Provides design guidance (color palettes, fonts, layouts) to avoid boring slides
  • Converts presentations to images for review and quality checking

Use it when

  • You need a pitch deck, roadmap, or presentation but don't want to open PowerPoint
  • You have a .pptx file and need to pull out the text or summarize it quickly
  • You're editing slides from a template and want the AI to handle the file manipulation
  • You want a visually polished deck without hiring a designer
