Copilot’s agent actions now generally available in Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Generated 20:00 MYT · May 4

Ask Copilot to build your meeting slides

Saves the time of copying text, designing slides, and writing speaker notes by letting Copilot create them inside PowerPoint.

Copilot Pro
The Scenario

You're prepping slides for a Monday morning status meeting and must turn a 2-page status note into a short 6-slide deck with speaker notes in under 30 minutes.

Before & after
The old way

Without AI, you copy the status text into PowerPoint, design each slide, write speaker notes and apply the company template manually—typically 30–60 minutes.

With AI

With Copilot in PowerPoint, paste or attach the status note and use the prompt—Copilot creates slides, applies the template and adds speaker notes in about 5 minutes.

The Prompt
Open the PowerPoint file [ATTACH_OR_OPEN_FILE_NAME]. Create [NUMBER_OF_SLIDES] slides that summarize these points: [PASTE_KEY_POINTS_OR_ATTACH_DOC]. Use a clear, executive tone and add 2–3 speaker notes per slide. Apply the [COMPANY_TEMPLATE_NAME] theme and produce a one-slide takeaway for the meeting on [MEETING_DATE]. Tell me if you need anything else.

Developer asks if latest OpenAI Python library works on Python 3.6

Generated 20:00 MYT · May 4

Quickly test OpenAI-Python compatibility

You avoid breaking your project by verifying compatibility in a disposable environment before spending time upgrading or debugging.

ChatGPT FreeGeminiCopilot FreeClaude
The Scenario

You need to run a script that uses gpt-4o but your laptop’s system Python is 3.6 and you don’t want to break anything before a meeting.

Before & after
The old way

You try pip install on your system Python, hit obscure errors, and spend 30–90 minutes debugging environment and dependency issues.

With AI

You create a quick virtual environment, run a test pip install and a small import test in under 5 minutes to confirm compatibility or decide to upgrade.

The Prompt
Check whether the latest OpenAI Python library supports Python 3.6. My setup: Python [3.6] on [Windows/Mac/Linux]. Tell me (1) the minimum Python version required, (2) exact commands to test install in a temporary venv, and (3) concise upgrade steps if I must move to Python [3.8+/3.10/etc.].
