Executive Snapshot

Copilot’s Narrative builder acts as a creative partner to generate compelling, on-brand pitch decks. It begins by creating a user-controlled outline to structure the story, then automatically builds the presentation using your company template and approved images. This process ensures brand consistency, accelerates content creation, and empowers your teams to focus on strategy and storytelling rather than design.

This video introduces “Narrative builder,” a feature that positions Copilot as a strategic creative partner in crafting compelling presentations. The process begins with a simple prompt, where a user can ask Copilot to create a pitch deck based on a specific goal, such as attracting shoppers. Crucially, Copilot first generates a draft outline, giving the user creative control to reorder, delete, or add topics to ensure a solid narrative flow before any slides are created.

The primary benefit for your organization is the ability to produce high-quality, on-brand presentations at scale. Once the outline is approved, Copilot automatically builds the presentation using your company’s PowerPoint template and pulls images from your approved corporate library. This ensures brand consistency while freeing your employees from manual design work. It allows them to focus on the high-value task of structuring a winning pitch, with Copilot acting as their design, writing, and editing partner.
