I figured out how to create a PowerPoint presentation from any web page or PDF

You can do this using the free version of Copilot and a handy PPT feature.

It works with all types of content and uses GPT-4 Turbo:

1. Create slide content

→ Open Microsoft Edge and access the content you want to turn into a presentation

(This works with a YT video, a web page, a PDF opened with Edge, etc.).

→ Click on the Copilot icon in the top right-hand corner

→ Activate "Precise" mode to use GPT-4 Turbo for free

→ Enter the prompt below

Copilot will then write the content of your slides based on your content.

Prompt (template):

"Read and analyze the current [web page/video/document], then create a [number]-slide PowerPoint presentation, each containing a title and a really detailed text with at least 3 factual and informative points for the audience. Example:

Title 1
Information 1
Information 2
Information 3

Title 2
…"

2. Format the answer

To be able to import slides into PowerPoint, Copilot can format the content for you properly.

Prompt:

"Format your previous answer by deleting "Slide X: " each time. Transform the slide titles into H1 markdown and the rest of the content into H2, removing the bullet points but retaining the information:

Slide title in H1
H2 content
H2 content
H2 content

Slide title in H1
…"

3. Paste into a document

You're almost done, you just need to create the document that PowerPoint will use to create the slides:

→ Open a Word (or txt) document

→ Paste the previous answer from Copilot

→ Remove any links or reference numbers

→ Save your document

4. Import slides

→ Open PowerPoint

→ Click on "New Slide" then "Slides from Outline"

→ Find your previous Word document

PowerPoint imports all content automatically!

5. Design your slides with one click

Last but not least: you can make your slides much more beautiful with one click.

→ Select "Designer" in the top right-hand corner

→ PowerPoint generates design ideas for you to use

Do this for all your slides, and your presentation is ready!

Honestly one of the workflows I'm most proud of!

Don't forget that I'm sending a free Copilot tutorial in my weekly personal newsletter.

It only took a few minutes using the Copilot GPT Builder.

After several tests, I can confirm that it will save me several hours a week.

Here's how I created it (and how to create your own):

Before getting started, feel free to take a look at my previous guide.

I explained how custom Copilot GPTs work in general:

Start by selecting "See all Copilot GPTs" and create a new Copilot GPT.

Reminder:

You can create Copilot GPTs with Copilot Pro and use them even with a free account.
