How to Use PowerPoint Copilot?

AI technology has advanced to the point where it can assist in creating presentations with ease. Microsoft has integrated Copilot into PowerPoint to leverage AI inside Microsoft Office suite, and making it possible for users to generate presentations quickly by simply entering a prompt.
