Claude in PowerPoint - Use Claude to build, edit & refine PowerPoint presentations.
by•
Claude works alongside you in PowerPoint — building slides, making pinpoint edits, and iterating on your deck in real time. Claude reads your layouts, fonts, and slide masters so every change stays on-brand and on-template. Claude in PowerPoint is now available on the Pro plan. It also now supports live data connectors, bringing context from your daily tools directly into your slides.

This is a big one for anyone who lives in PowerPoint :D
The biggest friction of building decks is never “writing text.” It’s restructuring messy thoughts into a clean storyline without breaking formatting.
What I love here:
It actually reads your existing deck (layouts, slide masters, fonts)
Makes template-aware edits instead of nuking formatting
Can generate a full structure from a natural language brief
Converts bullets → diagrams and adds native charts
No copy-paste between tools
Most AI tools feel like sidekicks outside the workflow. This feels embedded as if it was the co-author of your deck.
If this handles enterprise templates properly (the real test 😅), it could easily become a daily driver for consultants, founders, and operators.
Over to you!
How did Anthropic automate PowerPoint slides before Microsoft 365 Copilot? What do you think?

Finally something useful. I used to spend hours/days to create something with a logical structure and a good-looking design. Now, I can save time :)
@busmark_w_nika Indeed :D Thanks Nika for stopping by!

@rohanrecommends It hit my eyes as the first thing in the list of PH launches :D I had to react.

I feel you on the formatting. Nothing worse than redoing slides last minute and realizing your fonts are all over the place.
@djordjevic_nikola Haha yes! It would be so easy to fix the formatting and fonts with just a prompt. :)
I've had a similar app launched not too long ago. Might want to check out if you want to build slides using AI, without the PowerPoint part
@waterlemon999 What are you building? Did you launch on Product Hunt?
@rohanrecommends yes! you can find more here

As a consultant-turned-builder, I can already see consulting companies starting to use it asap. Super impressive!
@andreitudor14 Yes, makes life easy for anyone making presentations for a living :D
@rohanrecommends yep, for sure! I'm also already looking into how we can use it within CoreSight. Congrats on the launch!
Interesting direction for presentation workflows.
I often work with decks, and this looks like a useful way to speed up structuring and editing slides.
I’m especially curious about how it handles tone consistency and multilingual content.
@sergeypetrov Give it a spin! :)

Nice, but I guess this is only accessible via web UI, right? not the API, or does it support it too?
@khashayar_mansourizadeh1 I believe it is available natively inside PowerPoint. No API yet.
claude is not only a beast in coding but it is as well very skilled when it comes to power point and excel. from my point of view a real good product. anthropic is really entering the business world and makes it very easy to adapt in daily workflows.
@phirabu It is interesting to note that Anthropic automated PowerPoint slides before Microsoft 365 Copilot.
This is very exciting!
I am wondering how much the AI agent relies on visual input -- given that visual input is a lot less efficient.
But instead of powerpoint plugins, I am more hoping to see a slide making tool that natively support human-AI collaboration. The AI relies on something mostly text based (like markdown, html/css, latex), while human can drag and drop, click to edit, etc. And the changes will be synchronized bidirectionally.
@tensortoad By visual input you mean, uploading a screenshot and asking it to replicate the design or style?
Instead of killing consultants' job, i think this product is 'freeing' consultants from wasting time in adjusting formats and redundant work in PPT. They can now focus more on the analytical logic and the content to present to clients. That's totally an upside!
@melanie_z Yes, totally, more time can be spent into strategy + ideas and less into designing a presentation.
