Build effective presentations with AI: Review

Watching Copilot generate a slide from the prompt “Add a slide about the benefits of using Contoso's new app for project management” was the most advanced thing here. This whole module is basically just screenshots and descriptions of what each button does. The exercise is a simple three-step recipe: create a presentation from a file, add that one slide, and organize. This is more a guided click-through than a real test of skill. There’s no discussion of prompt engineering for presentations, how to iterate on bad drafts, or the principles of what makes a presentation 'effective'. It focuses entirely on the 'how-to' of using this specific tool. I get that it’s for a general business audience, but it lacks any real substance. If you're hoping to learn the 'why' behind using AI for storytelling or visual design, this isn't it. It simply demonstrates a new feature.
