Create Presentations with AI

Available from: November 2026

Operating System: Windows, macOS, Browser

empower® Add-in: AI

You can use empower® AI to create new presentations and fill them with your content.

To do so, you just need to provide the necessary information and tell empower® AI what your presentation should look like and what the content should be.

empower® AI guides you through the process. First, it asks some questions to develop the content. Then, it creates an outline for the presentation and if you agree with the outline, it creates the presentation for you.

empower® AI is connected to a collection of layouts which has been created for your company in concordance with your corporate design and corporate slide templates.

From these layouts, empower® AI offers you the most suitable layouts according to your requirements.

Create a New Presentation

To create a new presentation with AI, navigate to the group empower AI and click on the button Generate Presentation (Figure 1, “Button Generate Presentation”).

A new window opens.

In this window, follow the following steps:

  1. Enter your prompt into the input field.

    1. If you prefer to speak to empower® AI, click on the microphone symbol (Figure 2, “Microphone Symbol”) and speak aloud to record your prompt.

      Once you stop speaking, click on the stop recording symbol.

      empower® AI will process your prompt and display it in the input field.

  1. In the input field, choose the most suitable slide style for your prompt (Figure 3, “Choose Slide Style for Presentation”).

    To do so, expand the drop-down menu.

    If you do not choose any slide style, empower® AI automatically includes all slide styles.

  1. If there are multiple layout libraries available in your company, a second drop-down menu is displayed (Figure 4, “Choose Layout Library for Presentation”).

    In this drop-down menu, select the layout library you want to use.

  2. To send the prompt, either click on the arrow-up symbol in the input field or press Enter.

    empower® AI will process your prompt and ask you a few questions to further develop the presentation outline.

  3. Answer these questions and provide further context, if required.

    When empower® AI has gathered enough information, it provides you with a first outline.

  2. When you are happy with the outline, click on the button Generate Presentation (Figure 5, “Start Presentation Generation”).

    empower® AI then starts to generate your presentation.

    The progress is shown within the empower® AI Window.

  1. When the presentation is finished, download the presentation or open it directly.

    1. To download the presentation, click on the button Download (Figure 6, “Download or Open Presentation” (1)).

      The presentation is automatically downloaded to your default download folder.

    2. To open the presentation, click on the button Open Presentation (Figure 6, “Download or Open Presentation” (2)).

      If you are working in the PowerPoint desktop app, the presentation opens in a new PowerPoint window.

In PowerPoint, you can edit the presentation as usual.

To add new slides, you can use the button Create Slide with AI.

To improve a single slide, you can use the button Improve Slide with AI.

Note

The empower® AI Window remains open while you open or download the presentation.

If you are not satisfied and want to make further changes, go back to the empower® AI Window and prompt empower® AI to make the required changes.

If you only want to make minor changes to specific slides, use the improvement feature for single slides.

Note

For further information regarding the creation of slides, see Create Slides with AI.

For further information regarding the improvement of slides, see Improve Slides with AI.

Add External Sources as Context

If you want to provide the AI with further context regarding your prompt, you can add context in the form of a local file or a URL.

To add a local file to your prompt, follow the following steps:

  1. Click on the button Add Local File in the lower left corner of the input field (Figure 1, “Button Add Local File”).

    Your file explorer opens.

  2. Navigate to the file you want to add.

  3. Select the file and click on the button Open.

You can always see which files you have added as context in the space above the input field (Figure 2, “Uploaded File”).

Uploaded File

If you want to add a URL as context for your next prompt, you can simply include the URL in your prompt (Figure 3, “Example Prompt with Included URL”).

The content of the respective web page is read by empower® AI and the data available will be used as context for the slide content.

You can also add URLs to publicly available documents, e.g. stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.

If the URL is invalid or if it cannot be accessed, empower® AI informs you in the chat.

To remove a file or URL you have added as context, click on the X symbol next to it.

Note

empower® AI can only process URLs to files that are available publicly.

The presentation generation can be canceled as long as the presentation is being generated.

To cancel the presentation generation, click on the button Cancel (Figure 4, “Cancel Presentation Generation”).

Important

If you cancel the presentation generation, all generated data and content are lost.

AI budget spent during this process is therefore also lost.
