Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint review

For many professionals the decks have to end up in PowerPoint anyway, and Copilot puts the AI inside it. Microsoft's PowerPoint page says you can tell Copilot what to change and it rewrites, reorganizes and adds slides for you, then lets you review the changes. You can also ask for a new slide on your topic, use AI-driven design suggestions, and rehearse with Speaker Coach. Microsoft 365 Personal costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year in the US and includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote desktop apps with Copilot plus 1 TB of storage, so the AI comes bundled with software many people already pay for. The limits are real: AI features belong to the subscription owner only, usage is capped, and the look of a deck still depends on PowerPoint templates rather than a fresh visual style. Business plans with Copilot are priced separately.
