Introduction
Microsoft's PowerPoint has changed a lot over the years. It now has many advanced features that help users make slideshows that get people's attention. With the addition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to this common tool, the range of things that can be done has grown by a factor of 100.
Last week, I came to know about some AI features in PowerPoint, so today, I am going to discuss the same, which can enhance your productivity 10x.
Designer AI feature
Microsoft PowerPoint is becoming more and more important for anyone who wants to share thoughts in a business or school setting. One of the most important improvements is the Designer AI tool, which has changed the way people make presentations.
For example, you will create blank sides like this.
Click on 'Home -> Designer' and select a slide. It will give options. The Designer AI tool in PowerPoint uses algorithms for machine learning to look at the information on a slide and make design suggestions that fit the information being shown. This smart technology can recognize both text and images and offer layout choices that make them look better.
The most impressive thing about the Designer AI feature is that it saves time and effort without losing creativity or quality. Based on the context of the content, it can suggest layouts and color schemes and even add the right icons or other visual elements.
Rehearsing with Coach
Rehearsing with Coach, a new tool in Microsoft PowerPoint, is a huge step forward in the world of professional presentations. This new technology goes beyond the old ways of getting ready for a show.
AI is used in the Rehearse with Coach tool to give users feedback as they practice their presentations. It looks at how people talk, how often they use empty words, and even how fast or slow they talk. The interface is made to look like a real crowd, so users can get used to it and improve their delivery.
The Rehearse with Coach tool is a great example of how technology and human-centered design can work together to help people become better communicators. Rehearse with a Coach can help people who are new to public speaking or who have been doing it for a long time. It does this by adapting to the user's unique way of speaking.
Summary
Today we discussed PowerPoint can empower humans to improve presentation and communication skills using two AI features, designing and rehearsing with the coach.
