Microsoft adds Copilot’s ‘Clarify my thinking’ to PowerPoint for idea refinement

Unlike previous Copilot tools that generate slides or summarize content, this skill acts as an interactive ‘thinking partner.’ Users describe their presentation goals (e.g., proposing a new system or training materials), and Copilot provides feedback on logic gaps, audience relevance, or persuasive angles. Microsoft frames it as part of a broader shift: from AI as a ‘slide maker’ to AI as a ‘thinking assistant’ during the planning phase. The feature targets professionals who struggle to distill complex ideas—like technical teams proposing solutions or trainers structuring lessons—into concise, impactful narratives. Existing Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing applies.
