AI Assistant

A chat pane inside PowerPoint that can answer questions about your deck and make edits for you - adding slides, rewriting bullets, fixing grammar, translating, generating images, or restructuring sections - all in plain language.

When to use it

  • Drafting a fresh slide or section from a prompt instead of building from a blank layout.
  • Tightening, summarizing, or rephrasing bullets across multiple slides.
  • Fixing grammar and tone across a deck before sending it out.
  • Translating speaker notes or slide text into another language.
  • Generating an image for a cover slide, divider, or appendix without leaving PowerPoint.
  • Asking about the current deck - slide count, missing titles, layout usage.

What's inside

Grammar correction

Ask the assistant to fix grammar, smooth tone, or tighten wording. Opens a side-by-side comparison view so you can see the original next to the suggested edit before accepting. Apply all changes or pick individual ones.

  • Side-by-side before/after view.
  • Accept all changes or apply one at a time.
  • Works on a selected text box or the whole deck.

Translation

Translate selected text or the whole deck into any major language. Shows the original and translation side by side so you can review before swapping in. Useful for global investor decks, multilingual training material, or international pitches.

  • Any major language.
  • Selection-only or whole-deck modes.
  • Preserves slide layouts and formatting.

Image generation

Describe an image and the assistant generates it and drops it onto the active slide. Good for cover slides, section dividers, or visual placeholders when you don't want to interrupt the deck to find stock art. Specify aspect ratio and style in the prompt.

  • Inserted onto the active slide, sized to fit.
  • Specify aspect ratio and style in plain English.
  • Move, resize, or delete like any other shape.

How it works

  1. 1
    Click SkySuite on the ribbon to open the AI Assistant pane.
  2. 2
    Type your request in plain English (for example, *summarize slides 3-7 into a single overview slide*).
  3. 3
    Optionally select shapes or a slide first so the assistant focuses on that area.
  4. 4
    Press Enter to send. The assistant inspects your deck and proposes an action.
  5. 5
    Review the response in the pane - deck edits happen in place and remain undoable.
  6. 6
    Continue the conversation to refine, or start a new chat with the + button.

Tips & shortcuts

  • Press Ctrl+Z to roll back any AI edit, like any other PowerPoint change.
  • The AI works on the active deck only - it doesn't read other open files unless you paste content in.
  • Use the Navigate tab in the same pane to see a thumbnail outline of every slide.
