Claude in PowerPoint is an AI-powered tool that integrates directly with Microsoft PowerPoint to assist users in creating, editing, and refining presentations. It works alongside users in real time, building slides and making precise edits while maintaining the integrity of existing templates and brand guidelines.

Key features include building slides from client or corporate templates, iterating on existing decks by simplifying text or adding charts, generating full presentations from descriptions, and creating native charts and diagrams from bullet points. Claude maintains template integrity by reading slide masters, layouts, fonts, and color schemes to prevent off-brand elements.

The tool operates with precise contextual editing, understanding which slide and object users have selected for targeted changes. It works within existing enterprise security frameworks and compliance requirements while providing real-time assistance directly within the PowerPoint interface.

Benefits include faster presentation creation, consistent branding across slides, and professional visual outputs with editable native PowerPoint elements rather than static images. Use cases range from market sizing sections and industry assessments to restructuring storylines and converting text into professional diagrams.

Claude in PowerPoint is available as a research preview in beta for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plan customers. It supports core PowerPoint functionality while some advanced features may have limitations during the beta period.
