OpenAI Brings ChatGPT Integration to Microsoft PowerPoint

OpenAI has launched a new ChatGPT integration for Microsoft PowerPoint, allowing users to create, edit, and update presentations using natural language prompts.

Details:

• The feature works through natural language commands and can also pull information from connected services like Gmail, Outlook, and SharePoint.

• OpenAI says the PowerPoint integration is currently in beta, but it is already available to most users, including those on the free ChatGPT tier and ChatGPT Business plans.

• The update expands OpenAI’s growing set of workplace integrations, following earlier support for tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

AI Tutorial

Build native Android apps in Google AI Studio

1. Go to https://aistudio.google.com/ and log in.

2. Navigate to the Build apps section

3. Select the “Build an Android app” option and enter a natural language description of the app you want to create.

Example: "Create a daily task tracker with local storage" or "Build an app that helps me log my daily workouts and tracks my progress over time."

4. The agent will generate the app and launch it in the browser-based Android emulator.

5. You can keep refining and improving it by chatting with Gemini in the chat panel until you get exactly what you're looking for.

Once your Android app is done, you can install it on a physical Android device connected to your computer via USB, publish it to the Play Store, or download the project as a ZIP file.
