Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint review

Copilot in PowerPoint is the natural choice for organizations that already standardize on Microsoft 365. Users open Copilot inside PowerPoint, pick a Brand Kit if their company requires one, and describe the deck; Copilot may ask about audience, length, template and imagery before generating. It can also build a presentation from a Word document, and Microsoft's guidance is to use Word Styles so headings map cleanly to slides. Starting from the company template tells Copilot to reuse its layouts, which matters more to most corporate users than novel visual styles. Brand Kits hold logos, fonts, colors, icons and brand voice for the whole organization. The drawback is cost and packaging: the cheapest bundle on Microsoft's US page is Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot at $23.50 per user a month paid yearly, and the output is only as polished as the template you feed it.
