2 Genius Ways To Use ChatGPT To Create A PowerPoint Presentation
TLDRThis video demonstrates two genius methods to create PowerPoint presentations using ChatGPT. The first method automates the process with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), generating an 8-slide presentation on a given topic, like holidaying in Mauritius. After running the code in PowerPoint, you can enhance it with the Designer feature. The second method avoids VBA by having ChatGPT generate a structured outline, then importing it into PowerPoint via Word. Both approaches use PowerPoint Designer to polish the final slides, making the process quick and efficient.
Takeaways
- 💡 ChatGPT can help you create amazing PowerPoint presentations with ease.
- 🔧 Method 1: Use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to automate creating PowerPoint slides.
- 🌴 Example used: Creating a PowerPoint on holidaying in Mauritius with just a prompt in ChatGPT.
- 🖱️ VBA code generated by ChatGPT can be copied and run in PowerPoint's Developer mode for automation.
- 🎨 Enhance your slides with PowerPoint Designer, which suggests professional layouts based on your content.
- ⚠️ Caution: Be careful when running code copied from the internet; ensure it's from a trusted source.
- 🛡️ Method 2: For users uncomfortable with VBA, ChatGPT can generate structured content for PowerPoint without coding.
- 📑 Example used: A startup pitch deck presentation, with sections like Problem, Solution, Business Model, and more.
- 📝 Outline the generated text in Word, then format it for export to PowerPoint by using specific headings and levels.
- 🚀 PowerPoint Designer can be used to give the presentation a polished look, transforming it into a professional deck.
Q & A
What are the two methods mentioned for creating a PowerPoint presentation using ChatGPT?
-The two methods are: 1) Using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code generated by ChatGPT to automate the creation of slides, and 2) Using ChatGPT to generate a presentation outline, which is then formatted and imported into PowerPoint without the need for running code.
How does the first method utilize VBA in PowerPoint?
-In the first method, ChatGPT generates VBA code to create a PowerPoint presentation. After copying the code from ChatGPT, the user pastes it into PowerPoint’s Visual Basic editor to generate the slides automatically.
What precautions are mentioned before running VBA code from the internet?
-The script advises not to run VBA code copied from the internet on your computer unless you trust the source, as it could pose security risks.
What is the role of PowerPoint Designer in the first method?
-PowerPoint Designer helps enhance the appearance of the slides by suggesting design layouts based on the content of each slide, allowing the user to select visually appealing designs.
What is the second method for creating a presentation without running VBA code?
-In the second method, ChatGPT generates a presentation outline. This outline is pasted into a Word document, formatted, and then imported into PowerPoint using the 'Slides from Outline' feature.
How is the Word document prepared for import into PowerPoint in the second method?
-The Word document is formatted using Outline View. The slide headings are set to Level 1, and the bullet points for each section are set to Level 2. This formatting prepares the document for import into PowerPoint.
How does PowerPoint Designer improve the presentation in the second method?
-Once the content is imported into PowerPoint, PowerPoint Designer suggests design layouts for each slide. The user can apply these designs to enhance the visual appeal of the presentation.
What should a user do if they want to change the design of a specific slide?
-If a user wants to change the design of a specific slide, they can click on the slide, and PowerPoint Designer will generate new design suggestions, allowing them to choose a different style.
Why is it important to clean up the Word document before importing it into PowerPoint?
-Cleaning up the Word document ensures that only relevant content is imported into PowerPoint and that the slides are structured correctly, leading to a more polished presentation.
What are the benefits of using ChatGPT for creating PowerPoint presentations?
-Using ChatGPT allows for rapid generation of slide content and outlines, saving time. It also provides flexibility, as users can automate the process with VBA or manually create presentations using structured outlines.

💡 Introduction to Creating PowerPoint Presentations with ChatGPT and VBA
The speaker introduces the video, stating that it was created using ChatGPT. They promise to share two methods for creating amazing PowerPoint presentations efficiently. The first method involves using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a programming language that automates tasks in Microsoft Office apps. As an example, a presentation on Mauritius will be created using ChatGPT-generated VBA code. The speaker explains how to enable the 'Developer' tab in PowerPoint, paste the generated code, and run it to create an 8-slide presentation. They then guide viewers on using PowerPoint's Designer feature to beautify the slides.
🚀 Alternative Method: Creating Presentations with ChatGPT Without Running Code
The second method is designed for users who prefer not to run VBA code. Instead, the speaker suggests using ChatGPT to generate a presentation outline for a startup pitch deck focused on reducing food waste. The outline includes sections like Problem, Solution, Business Model, Competition, Marketing Plan, and Fundraising. After copying the generated outline into a Word document, the speaker explains how to format it for export to PowerPoint using the Outline view in Word. Once imported into PowerPoint, Designer is used again to enhance the slides, producing a polished pitch deck.
