OpenAI adds ChatGPT to Microsoft PowerPoint in public beta
OpenAI has integrated ChatGPT into Microsoft PowerPoint, enabling users to create and edit presentation slides through natural language prompts. The feature entered public beta on May 21, 2025, and is available to most OpenAI users.
Availability and access
The PowerPoint integration is accessible to both free tier ChatGPT users and ChatGPT Business subscribers. Users can generate new slides or modify existing presentations by issuing text-based commands to the chatbot.
ChatGPT can pull content from connected services including Gmail, Outlook, and SharePoint to populate slides, according to OpenAI.
Catching up to competitors
The move brings OpenAI's enterprise integrations closer to parity with competitors. Anthropic has offered similar PowerPoint functionality with Claude since September 2024. Google's Gemini already integrates with Google Slides.
ChatGPT previously gained integration with Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. PowerPoint represents another step in OpenAI's expansion into productivity software ahead of a potential IPO.
What this means
OpenAI is systematically closing feature gaps with Anthropic and Google in the enterprise productivity space. The company's strategy of matching competitor capabilities across Microsoft and Google office suites suggests a focus on becoming the default AI assistant for knowledge workers. With PowerPoint integration, ChatGPT now covers the core trio of business applications: spreadsheets, documents, and presentations. The free tier availability is notable, potentially accelerating adoption and user lock-in before monetization pressure increases around a public offering.
