Create Visually-Stunning PowerPoint Presentations using AI (ChatGPT)

1. Course Trailer: The goal is to boost productivity enhanced efficiency, which is really important in our time and age. And craft dynamic sides with automated design brilliance. Let's get into the course a little bit more. I'm your instructor Professor Gazi, Profe Gazi whichever way you like. I'm a Lee Systems Engineering Manager and also an Add professor in several colleges in the East Coast in New Jersey. I have over ten years of experience in a computer science field and I've taught both online and face to face courses. I enjoy artificial intelligence and automation in general, and some of my side hobbies include skateboarding, MMA and gaming. Some of the main course objectives and benefits include, understanding the basics of AI, prompt engineering via chat GBT, the Art of Persuasion. We'll discuss that in detail. Instructing AI to provide meaningful content for Powerpoint slides, generating meaningful and valuable content based on the selected subject. Utilizing various AI tools that will include embedded tools and extension tools found in various platforms. We'll create AI generated presentations via Google Slides with MS Word exportation tools. We'll also look at how to embed AI generated VBA code Powerpoint for content creation. We'll look at some other tools as well, such as Beautiful to make Powerpoint presentations more appealing. And we'll also understand how to reprogram or re prompt chat GBT for the correction of AI generated errors, which AI is prone to do it. Thank you so much for previewing the course. Fun fact. I actually created this very presentation using AI tools. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me direct. 2. Welcome to the World of PowerPoint + ChatGPT!: This course is meant to be promising in terms of teaching you a new capability with integrating Microsoft Powerpoint and open AI. Specifically, Chat GVT and other tools that will work in correspondence with Chat GBT, overall AI, and Powerpoint. So this is a very unique course. It's an interesting combination of two growing areas in technology. And ultimately, it falls under the category of office productivity. But it can also span outside of that into software, IT, and many other different fields. As we know, Powerpoint is something that's universal and used all throughout the world for many different purposes. It really depends on your intentions and how you wish to use Powerpoint. But I'm going to provide you with the basics, the tools, and all the fundamentals that you need to know. 3. Overview of ChatGPT: Lo. So in this section of the course, we're going to start talking about the art of persuasion, crafting messages with AI, specifically using chat GBT. Now, before we get into automation, we first need to talk about persuasion. We need to talk about how to drive chat GBT to give us our desired output. That in itself is a skill. And it gets into an area in AI called prompt engineering, where you as the prompter are sort of taking the lead in designing queries or inputs to give you a desired outcome, desired data, desired information. So with that said, let's get right into it. Welcome to the world of chat GBT If you haven't been exposed to it yet, and if you have, great. Again, that's a step ahead. We're going to look at an overview of Chat GPT's capabilities, the natural language processing, the conversation elements to it, and also content generation, which is really the crucial aspect of this horse leading into automation. Now we have to understand that Chat GBT is essentially a program. It's a program that was developed by a group of people that got together and utilized a programming language called Python. Chat GBT in its underlying essence is developed by a programming language itself. And that language is called Python. Okay, if you haven't heard of it, it's one of the popular general purpose programming languages out there. Now that's not essential for you to know, but it's just a fun fact. Good to know, especially if you're interested in the computer science field, but not necessary for this course. Now, how do you access chat GBT? Since we're the end user of the product, it's important for us to know how to access chat GBT and utilize Chat. Gt is an open AI platform. It's available to the public. There are different versions. There's Chat GT 3.5 and Chat T 4.04 0.0 is a paid product so you would have to buy it. But Chat GBT 3.5 is sufficient and it's free and open to the public. The way that you would access it is you would grab the link shown, it's Chat.com You don't need the HTTPS. You can if you want, but without it is good enough. And you log in with your credentials. Let me go ahead and show you how to do that. We're going to go to open.com then you're going to want to log in if you already have credentials. If you don't, go ahead and click sign up, you can do so by entering in an E mail address, or you can just log in with your primary Google account, your Microsoft account or Apple account. Having a Microsoft account is actually very beneficial for this course because you'll see soon enough that you'll need it in order to work with Microsoft Word exportation tools to generate AI slides. In an automated sense, it's good to have that. Nevertheless, for now, you can choose any of the opportunities here, whichever option you want. For now, I'm going to click Log In, and I'm just going to log in with Google using my Google account here. I am going to close a sidebar for now, this is the GBT environment. Again, there's two options. There's 3.5 and then there's the four. But this requires an upgrade to the plus version, which again, for our purposes and in general for the public, it's great for most of the tasks that we're looking to accomplish, I would say, as an action item for this lecture. Before we move on, see if you can log in to GBT and access open AI. So go ahead and grab this link and log in with your credentials, or sign up if you don't have credentials yet. And then we'll take it to the next step. 4. Prompt Engineering: Okay, so to continue on with our lecture, in the former session, we discussed chat GBT and we introduced the art of persuasion, crafting messages with AI. But we mainly talked about logging into chat GBT and how to create an account if you don't have one yet. At this point, I hope that you all have tried to create an account. If you haven't yet, that's okay too. You can always do that later. But the sooner you do so, the better. If you've already worked with Chat GBT a bit in the past, that's great. Like I said, it's good exposure and will help a lot as we move forward with the course content. Now we want to talk about understanding prompt engineering. Prompt engineering in itself is a skill and something that we need to develop as prompt engineers. Engineering is usually thought of as some different kind of discipline like electrical engineering, or chemical engineering, or environmental engineering. But prompt engineering in itself is an up and coming skill and a needed one really. It's how to communicate with AI bots, or how to communicate with AI technology in a way that captures relevant information and meaningful content. Prompts are in itself, a prompt is an input query that guides chat GBT, in this case, with intended responses. We want to utilize the skills of prompt engineering to do exactly that. We want to communicate with chat GBT and prompt it accordingly to give us desired output. So we want to craft effective prompts as that is crucial for giving us our desired output. Let's get right into it and look at an example of how to implement prompt engineering. Say for instance, okay, say for instance, I want chat PT to provide me a list of the best states to live in throughout the US. I'm going to go ahead and enter that in, but let me change this typo here to states. As I enter that in, it'll give me a list of the best states to live in in the United States with granted reasons. Also tells me a disclaimer that this knowledge is based on its last knowledge update in January 2022, which isn't bad considering that we're in the first month of 2024, at least when I've published this course. Yeah, that's not too far out, I would say. As you can see, it gives me a list here of Washington, Colorado, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Utah, Vermont, New Jersey, Virginia, and California. And it gives the reasons as to why a lot of it have to do with strong economy, healthy lifestyles, good health care, diverse job opportunities, good education and so on. Okay, so that's the first step. The second is specificity and clarity. You want to be specific with Chat GBT or any AI tool and be specific as to what kind of data you want to retrieve. Sometimes that's a process and it has all to do with prompt engineering as afore mentioned. Be clear. Be precise. Be specific in your prompts so that you can get accurate and relevant responses. You want the responses to be as relevant as possible. You can do so by experimenting with different phrases. Your phrasing could vary a little bit. And that'll help you lead into a more effective prompt methodology. Now we can try to tweak things a little bit and I can reword it and say this. Please provide me with a list of the best states in the US based on, let's pick one of these. Now we want to be more specific based on good education. Enter Now let's see. Provide me a new list based on education. There we go. Now the list has been revised and I'm now focusing on quality education. And now it's giving me Massachusetts makes sense because MT is there and a lot of other great universities. I'm really happy to see New Jersey up on the list considering that myself, I'm a graduate from New Jersey. I graduated from the New Jersey Institute of Technology as you saw in my bile. But there's also some really great universities here, such as Princeton University, which is Ivy League here in New Jersey. And I've taught in several colleges in New Jersey. There's Connecticut on the list. Maryland, New Hire, A lot of the East Coast, Virginia, Minnesota, Vermont, Colorado, and New York. Of course, New York would be on there. You have Columbia University, you have NYITny, others, NYU and others. That makes sense. That definitely makes sense. And as you can see, talking about clarity and being specific really should hit home now because we've asked for something more specific. Now I can go back and do the same and I can say, please provide a new list based on health care. I don't have to say, provide a new list of the best states, such and such. Everybody knows that I'm asking for that, so the algorithm is smart enough to detect that. But it should provide me a new list now based on the best health care. The list has varied. And I see New Jersey taken right out of the map, which makes sense because in New Jersey we don't have the best health care. There's a lot of Co pays. A lot of the deductible isn't necessarily the best, but you can see that you have Massachusetts, You have Hawaii on the list, which is really interesting. Minnesota, Vermont, Utah, Connecticut, Rhode Island, in New Hampshire, Colorado, Maryland. The list has been revised. Now, I can be even more specific, out of this list, can you please provide the top three states with the best health care it should give me o the top three. The top three as it shows would be Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Minnesota. This is a good time for me to consider relocating to Hawaii. All right, let's go back. As you can see, what I've done here is implement something called iterative prompting. Iterative just means repetitive. They're synonymous. It's just the concept of iteration, which means that you keep repeating until you get what you want. And that's how you refine. Engage in an iterative process of refining prompts based on the models responses. Whatever chat GBT gives you as a response, you can iterate and continuously prompt until you get your desired output. Learn from the model's behavior and adjust prompts accordingly. So as you saw, I continued to look at the list and look at how it was communicating with me. And I refined it as I went along to give me my specific detail that I'm looking for that I'm seeking out. And that's the whole concept of iteration and prompt engineering in general. In prompt engineering, you want to be specific. You want to focus on clarity. You want to focus on iteration and refinement. Those are some of the concepts that you want to engage with when dealing with prompt engineering. 5. Create a Presentation in Minutes with ChatGPT & MS Word: In this lecture, we want to talk about how to utilize Microsoft Word for the web to generate Powerpoint slides for us. In order to do that, we need to integrate chat GBT with Microsoft Word for the web. In the previous lesson, I went over how to access Microsoft Word for the web and how it's necessary to create, if you don't have a Microsoft account, create an account login and be able to access Word Web. And once you do, you'll create a blank document. Once we have our blank document, we're now going to go to GBT Openai.com I've already went over how to creating the account and log into chat GPT in one of the former sessions. So make sure you do that. Log into chat GBT, I typically just log in with Google has mentioned. Just as simple as that. Great, here we are. Now to tie with what we've also been discussing, the whole topic of the art of persuasion and prompt engineering. This is where those skills really come into play. It's important for us to prompt the AI accordingly based on what we want. I'm going to use an example, and I'd like the AI GBT to generate an ample amount of content, sufficient, say for like seven slides. And I want it to be on some designated topic. Let's say it's a fitness program. Our health and fitness in general, what I'm going to do is I'm going to say please, I'm going to be nice, please Seven, You have to be specific here. Seven slides that I can embed into Microsoft. You can just put MS Word, please spotlides. Or if you want to be more specific, please generate the content of seven Powerpoint slides that I can bed into Microsoftware, the topic of health and fitness, better way of life. That's just the topic that I came up with now. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and enter. As you can see, it's proceeding with the creation and I'm looking for about seven slides here. It's looking pretty good already. Now I don't necessarily need, we'll call it the header and footer of what chat GPT outputed. I'm just going to go ahead and grab the slides directly. Starting with slide one, looks like it did give us the seven slide, so I'm going to go ahead and copy that. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Microsoft Word for the web, and I'm simply just going to paste it. You can do control V or you can paste it. There we go. Okay, I just did the control V there. Now that I've done that, now you can see this is empty and that's okay. We can fill that in, that's not a problem. But let's go ahead and use the exportation tool that I have been alluding to. So I'm going to go to file, I'm going to go to, okay. And then under export you have this feature export to Powerpoint presentation. Okay, I'm going to click on that. The AI tool working in the background is going to propose some design themes. I have a bar here that I can, I'm used to scroll and see if I like any of them. If I don't, I can look at some more themes. Let's see what else we got here. Let me pick something that maybe would be a little meaningful to health and fitness. If I'm unable to find anything right now, I'll just pick something for the time being. We can always enhance it. Let's, let me click on see more themes one more time. Okay. All right, well, this one seems interesting. Let's go with that for now. And I'm going to click Export. As you can see, it's preparing these slides in the background. All right. Yeah, your presentation is ready. Okay, let's open the presentation now. Now what it's going to do is it's going to open it in Powerpoint for the web. Okay. The very first slide doesn't really say much, it just says document one and has this image. Well, let's keep going here. A title, Health and Fitness A Better Way of Life. And then here's a subtitle, Embracing a Holistic Approach to Well Being. And then you can put an image here. Now, going down, slide two, An introduction. Beautiful. And you can see there's a relevant photo. There should be a relevant photo on each slide, really. But here's an intro about health and fitness. Physical health, talking about regular exercise and adequate sleep and hydration, mental well being, stress management, mindfulness, sleep and mental health, nutritional balance, balanced diet, portional control, hydration, a holistic approach. Integrating all of these, then slide seven. A conclusion and a call to action. Simply, it provided me a good seven slides. Now you can see AI still has some, you can say, bottlenecks to deal with. It's not the most perfect thing. But hey, contrast this with creating a whole Powerpoint presentation from the ground up. I mean, typically, you know, as an academic myself, it would take me an average of 45 minutes to an hour to create a Powerpoint presentation. But with the rise of AI, we can now create a Powerpoint presentation as sophisticated as this in a matter of minutes or less, especially if you get used to it. Now, there are some things that can be improved. For instance, this photo. This image has been used twice. I saw it on two sides, so that we can always modify. You always have the designer on the side here that you can change things around a little bit. That's always an option. For instance, if I wanted to change it a little bit, I can do that by selecting one of the alternative designs, and I can do so for any of the other ones as well. I don't like this slide here. I can change this around too so I can give it, like a better look. I don't think this should be the main slide. I would say that this should probably be slide here. You're going to say, as we said before, health and fitness, I think we said a better way of life, right? Something like that. There are minor adjustments required but that's okay. You can refine as you like. Then here you can say something to the effect of overall. Again, we can change this as we like. You can embed an image here if you want. But let's go with this now you want to export this further and save it on your desktop? You can just simply go to, let me do that again. You go to file, you go to save As. And I can save it as an online copy, or I can download a copy. I can even download it as a PDF or an ODP or can download as an image. So I'm just going to download a copy. Okay, I'm going to click Download the Behold. There's my document one now. I have it on my desktop app. On the Powerpoint app that's directly attributed to my desktop, and there it is. And then I can modify it accordingly further if I want. So this is one of the methods that you can use to create well developed presentations as such, giving a desired topic that you have in mind and you can present it to your audience. We will cover other methods as well, but I think this is a pretty effective one. Especially granted the fact that the AI is able to really correlate appropriate images for each of your bullet points, for each of your subtopics within your presentation. 6. Create a Presentation in Minutes with AI & Google Slides: Hello. In today's lesson, we're going to learn about how to create AI generated slides using the Google Slides platform. With a plug in tool. We'll get started right away. Access your Gmail account would be the first step. You want to make sure that you have access to your G mail. It could be any Gmail account, because they all come with Google Slides. Then basically what you do is you click on this button here with the nine dots. They're going to scroll all the way down and you're going to look for Google slides. There's slides right there. I'm going to click that and open it up. When I get here, I get a bunch of different presentations. I'm just going to start a blank presentation here. Okay, If I go to extensions now, I don't really see anything. What I want to do is I want to download a plug in or an extension tool, we can call it. Okay. Extension tool that will drive AI generation within the Google Slides platform is called Magic Slides app. Do keep that in mind. It's called Magic Slides app. We're going to go here and you're going to want to install it. Let's go ahead and install magic slides. It takes me to this Google Workspace Marketplace page. I'm just going to go ahead and install that. I'm going to click my mail account and just go through these terms and allow them. This is just enabling the plug in extension asking for your permission to embed it into Google Slides. And it even tells you where it's going to place it. It'll be under the add ons feature. Okay, we can click Done. We're going to go here. If I go to extensions, I don't see anything right now. You might want to reload this. Got it? There you go. As soon as I reload it, you can see magic slides. A GPT for slides. Great. Yeah, from here on out, we can essentially utilize this and generate a Powerpoint. You can add a new slide, you can create a chart with AI, and you could do many other things. Youtube to Powerpoint, PDF, URL, Powerpoint to better PPT as PPT, there's many options. Essentially, the one we want would be PPT to generate Powerpoint open. So I'm going to go ahead and click on that. It's working right now. There we go. As you can see on the right side there, it's asking you for some information. We want to know some basic things. What role describes you best? In my case, I'm an educator. I think these are optional, But you don't necessarily have to fill this out. You can skip it. How did you hear about us? I don't recall actually, but through research. And I'm just going to say other for now, I can put a number if I want and we can go ahead and get started. This is just for courtesy, if you want to enter that in, but ultimately you can skip it. Okay, this is how you use the tool. So you want to enter a topic in with appropriate information. This is AI. It's a program that's being ran in the background. And again, this goes back to the persuasion, prompt engineering and telling the AI to do what you want it to do. So I'm going to say discuss the pros and cons of real estate invest mint. Okay, just a simple topic. Whatever, Just anything that came out of my head right now. I'm going to go ahead and ask the AI to generate some slides on that. I can pick which slides I want. The limit is ten, which is okay. You can always do ten. And if you want more, you can do an additional ten. I'm going to maximize it and say ten. You have this interesting feature that says show content source, you don't need to do that. And you can also send an e mail when it's done. These are all really optional. I'm going to deselect them for now just to keep it simple. But you can certainly access these if you like. You can choose the presentation type. It could be custom or it could be with bullet points. Really, whatever you want. I'm just going to do, say ignore the bullet points. Now, this is the text part. You also have the prompt section. What is your presentation about the summarize the design. All of these can. Stipulate in advance. This is the text part right here that works pretty well. You can try to summarize and it'll do it for you. You can try to prompt and you can select what the presentation is about as well. For now, I'll go to the text portion. You can enter reference text if you want. This is optional. You can also have it suggest the title for you if you want, but if I want to put something for a reference text, I can say you can have it explained to us and of real estate. Okay, let me go ahead and generate this and let's see how it looks like. Okay? It's saying that it's generating the presentation in 170 seconds or so. That's typically the case. In most cases, it's actually a lot quicker. The thing is, it's mainly primarily it's going to try to focus on your niche of what you're trying to establish. And it'll research the Internet and grab what it feels relevant in terms of information. And it'll construct the slides for you. So let's take a look and see what it did for us. The first slide says, the pros and cons of real estate investment. Exploring the dos and okay, cool overview of real estate investment significance in property market. You have that look there some benefits and drawbacks of real estate profit, potential real estate appreciation, the importance of diversification, stable cash flow risks and challenges, impact on economic fluctuations, real estate values, responsibilities and costs. There you go. Now this is a pretty simple set up, okay? As you can see, nothing too complicated. You've got some tips and takeaways at the end, which is nice. You can definitely change the design of this, the layout, the background, all of that is possible. So you have the background, the layout. This now goes back to simple Google slides tool utilization. But if you want, you can also save this outside of the Google Slides platform. If I want to make a copy of the entire presentation, I can do that and I can save it to my drive, or I can save it to another location. If I want to save this to my computer for instance, I can do that. There's an option there. Yeah, you can basically download this as well. You can share it. If I wanted to download this as a PDF, as a Powerpoint and ODP, I can do that as well. Let me just go ahead and download it as a Powerpoint. There it is. Now, if I wanted to, I can certainly go into the designer mode and mess around with it a little more and play with the look of things. I can go to design and change the look as well. You can change the theme around. You can apply it to all slides or some of the slides. It's really up to you. You can apply to all slides, for example. There are many options here. Once you bring it outside of the Google Slides platform, that's one example. Let's take a look at another one real quick time. I'm going to create a new one. Let's try file new presentation This time what I want to do is I'm going to try a different topic. And also I'll try a different feature instead of using text. Let's try to use perhaps one of the other tabs there, so we could try, for instance, the prompt. Let's see, we're going to skip that. Let's go to Prompt. And I'm going to say training. Okay. If I just click on Training, it can literally give you an example of a training presentation. Let's click online course to develop a presentation for online course teaching some skill. I can modify this just to keep things simple, right? Develop a presentation for online course teaching blah, blah, blah, something general, okay? Now I can put in what I want. Okay? Let's start with, or let's try something like this. Go to education. Create an educational slide deck about dinosaurs for young students. Focus on distinguishing between carnivores and herbivores species. I can modify this as I like, instead of dinosaurs can change that to create an educational slide deck at the different types of extinct animals for young students. Okay, focus on between various types of species. I changed it a little bit just to show you that you can start with a framework and then you can modify it as you wish. Okay, I'm going to again up this to ten slides and remove seeing the content source and sending an Em one done. How make it custom as well. And then let's go ahead and generate that again. This typically outputs a lot quicker than 170 seconds. But it's exciting to see how AI generation saves a ton of time. Once you have bare bones, you have like a framework to work with. You can take it and modify it to your liking. Again, going back to what was said in a previous lesson, it typically sometimes hours to develop a Powerpoint presentation. But now, with the power of AI, as we leverage AI, we can boost productivity and enhance efficiency. Here is a whole presentation on extinct animals. Ancient species, very interesting. Gigantic ice age animals. Still on the topic of dinosaurs a little bit. Prehistoric reptiles, mysterious sea creatures. This is really cool. The rise and fall of ancient mammals. Understanding extinction, Conservation, Uncovering Earth's marvels. Very interesting stuff. Again, we can take this, we can download a copy. We're going to go ahead and download a copy so that we can have it readily available so that when we do present it to our audience, it's in our desktop app. And I'm going to go ahead and open that up. I can enable editing in case I want to make any more changes once I'm here. Again, it's really the same thing. I can change the design of these slides, I wanted to change it to some other look. I can choose a different theme here. Say for instance, I wanted this one and don't want to apply it to all the slides. There we go. Now we have a different theme. You can change things around however you like. But the point being is AI gives you a framework to start with. And then you can modify things as you go along, refine it, and enhance as you see fit. That was a demonstration showing you how to use Google Slides with the extension tool, magic slide app. As you can see, it's a very powerful tool and available for usage as needed. 7. Create Visually Appealing Slides with Beautiful AI: All right, the time has come. So in the former lecture, we looked at beautiful AI and how it can create stunning, visually appealing Powerpoint presentations. We looked at the benefits and step by step procedure as to how to utilize beautiful do AI. But as with most people, we human beings in general, we happen to be visual learners. So I think it's really important to actually dive into the platform and look at it and use it. So let's go ahead and do that. I'm going to demonstrate Beautiful, and let's see if we can create a presentation or two from scratch. Okay, so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Beautiful. Once I get there, this is their website. I'm essentially going to log in if you need to create an account, you're going to want to do that first. But for my purpose, I've already created an account, and I can just continue with Google, because that's the account that I've used to log in to create my account. So, I'm going to log in S Prof. Gazi under my name, and it takes me to my beautiful environment here. Now, on the left, you'll have your recent presentations if you've created anything. I tried one and it works great. You have my folders. If you had stuff in here, I haven't developed anything in the platform yet. And then you have things where you can create yourself. The one that we want to go to is all presentations. At the top here, you can see Create presentations. If you hover over that, you have several options. Now you can go straight into Generate with AI, but I'm going to select blank presentation. The reason why I did that is because I want to show you that once you select a blank presentation, it first gives you the option to select a theme. There are hundreds and thousands of themes that you can select from. You can click this and you can get into the nitty gritty and pick your themes and colors and decorations and footer and much more. Okay. And the choices almost feel like they're unlimited. But I'm just going to take a step back. And if I didn't want to do that and I wanted AI to a presentation for me, then I'm just going to click on Generate with AI. And once I do that, you can see that it says beta because it is still in the beta development stage as is chat GBT. Like I said, the beautiful thing about beautiful that AI is that it has a built in AI engine. There's already a chat box built into it. There's two ways that you can actually create a Powerpoint slide deck on here. You can simply give it in like a sentence or to a description of what type of presentation you want generated. Or if you click on Example Prompts here it gives you a dropdown. And it gives you some examples of pre existing ideas. Or if you click here under Train AI with additional context, you can actually click on text. And then you can enter in all the content that you want for your slides that you can get from chat. Jbt, if you wish. I'll show you both ways. We'll start with the easy way, which is just to enter in a prompt here. The cool thing about this feature, by the way, is you can also upload a file and even a web page, interestingly. But we'll do the text for the purpose of this course. And we'll also create a presentation with just a sentence or two. I wish I can ask one of you to give me a presentation topic. So I'm just going to think about something that comes to my head, All right, where in the month of January I'm going to ask the AI to create a presentation about the best places to travel in the month of January. Okay, you don't have to do this, but I just feel like capitalizing this include compelling. Reasons in each slide as to why these selected locations are the best to travel in this month. I'm trying to be as precise as possible because I want to know if I wanted to travel right now. It's the month of January here in the United States. It's very cold. Say I wanted to take time off, even though we just had a whole holiday season with Christmas and New Year's Eve and New Year's and all that. But say for instance, I want some more vacation time in the month of January. It's not the most popular month to travel in, but if I did, I want AI to generate a presentation about that so I can present it to an audience. Maybe I'm a travel agent and you know, the agency is very slow in the month of January. What would be a good way to grab the interest or capture the interest of my clients? Well, I can do something like this. So let's go ahead and generate this presentation and see what it gives us. And like I said before I do this, keep in mind, out of all the tools that I'm giving you, beautiful that AI is the most visually appealing tool. As I mentioned. Also, just as a disclaimer, it's also the only tool that's not 100% free. Out of all the AI tools that I am presenting to you in this course, there's a 14 day free trial. And then afterwards you have to pay about $12 a month for, I think it's like the pro version, but yeah. You can look at the pricing section on the website and you'll see it there. Again, I'm not advocating for it or I'm not encouraging you to sign up for it. But if this is for you, go ahead and subscribe to it if you wish. But by all means, feel free to use any of the other AI driven tools that I'm presenting in discourse. I myself don't use Beautiful that much, but I use Microsoft Word for the web. And I like to use the VBA module approach, which I'll also show you. The Google Slides 1 is also very interesting. I use that at times. Do keep that in mind. Let's go ahead and generate the presentation now. This will take a few seconds. It's actually extremely quick. Surprisingly quick, you would think it takes like a minute or two, but in a matter of just a few seconds, it'll pop up as in the background, it's gathering the data that it needs and it's looking throughout a huge set of databases. And here you go. It's already generated the slides. Let's see what it gave us here, the best January travel destinations. Let's zoom in and look at this slide deck. It's completing the remaining ones right now. There we go. Let's take a look at what it gave us, the best January travel destinations, that's the introductory slide. Warmer getaways. Pack your swimsuits, play beach activities, book a hotel with ocean views. All right. Ski towns, Great Snowy Mountains. Then it gives you some examples, right, of places to go, cultural cities, explore certain landmarks, okay? Here are some other places where you can go. Some museums, all right? And then immerse yourself in local culture, such as Rome or London, or Beijing for instance. It's giving you some ideas there. National parks, again, more ideas. If you want to go to national parks somewhere in southern California is an option. Death Valley National Park. That's an interesting one. Winter carnivals. Okay. Got some more ideas here. I don't see that it mentions anywhere specific here. It does actually mention Quebec here and a few other locations. That's a good one. I've been to Quebec myself Wellness Retreat. Okay. This is general wellness retreat, cruise deals, book off season cruises to popular Caribbean and Mediterranean destinations. Okay. As you can see, the presentation itself is very visually appealing. The slides are beautiful, they look great. You may have even noticed that in some of the presentations that I've conducted in the course, I've used the beautiful AI formats and modified them accordingly to meet the needs of the course. But this is interesting eco adventure, okay? So it mentions an article here. Okay, nice. Now, this is interesting. It did make the content a bit broad. I was expecting it to be a bit more specific. But nevertheless, as you can see, in just a matter of a few minutes, I have this beautiful presentation. You can adjust that as you wish. You can even go back to either Chat GBT or here in the generation tool built into beautiful AI and have it modify these slides for you. But for the purpose of what I want to do next, I want to export this presentation. Say I want this in Powerpoint form. I'm just going to click on that and then go to Export Presentation. And when I do so, I have the option to export it as an edible Powerpoint. Or I can export it as the slides as images if I want to do it that way. Or Google slides a PDF or I can even present it offline. I'm going to do the Edible Powerpoint. For now, that's usually most beneficial because it allows me to customize and update the content at ease. Then I can click that, and now I have it on my Desktop app. As I open it, there it is. And I can modify the slides as much as I want. All right, but as I mentioned as an initial look, the slides are very visually appealing. And honestly, I've seen it do a much better job than this. This is a pretty decent job. We're going to explore another presentation. I'm going to give it another shot and we'll try something a little bit more complex in topic that is. So stay tuned as we go through the next session. 8. Advanced Beautiful AI Demo with ChatGPT: All right, in the former session, we looked at an example of using Beautiful and we had the AI bot generate a nice looking presentation for us on the best January travel destinations. We're going to try something else and this time we'll do a different topic. So I'm going to go ahead and go to generate with AI again. This time we'll try something a little bit more complex. I was thinking about a topic and I'm very interested in philosophy, so I'm going to pick something a little complex and see if I can try to outsmart the AI. I don't think I will, but let's see what it can do. Create a presentation about philosophical discourse in relation to. Let me fix that. A pistomology, ontology and theology. The similarities and overlap of each also expand on their differences. All right, so this is a bit more of a complex topic. Let's see what beautiful AI will do for us. I'd like to get a presentation on this. It's going to generate as much context as possible, I'm sure, and make it visually appealing. Which are the strong features of the AI tool built into beautiful AI here. All right, let's see what we got. This area looks a lot more visually appealing than the former presentation. Wow, that definitely looks a lot better. Now, the title is called Epistemology, Ontology, and Theology, A Philosophical Discourse, An introductory overview of the philosophical study of knowledge, existence, and the divine. That's really cool. Okay, that's really neat. It talks about where they exist, or similarities and differences and the definition of epistemology, Definition of ontology, a definition of theology, some similarities of each and how the branches are related. Ontology, epistemology, the differences, intersections, key figures that are involved in the development of these philosophical disciplines and some conclusions. Again, if I wanted to, I can go ahead and export this as a presentation. I can even print a presentation right away if I wanted to. So I can go ahead and click that export. And I can do it in any way. This time I'm going to do it as a PDF just to show you something different instead of an Edible Powerpoint. If I do so, it's going to export it and give me a PDF file instead, which works for me. So I can just click that, open it, and now I have it in PDF format, which can be very useful. Now the only thing you have to keep in mind is if you output it as a PDF, you're obviously limited because you can't edit it. So if you do want to edit it, make sure you return back to your library and then you can open it up, go back and then you can export the presentation again, and you can do so as an edible Powerpoint if you wish. Okay. All right. So now I want to show you one more thing before we end on the topic of beautiful Do I and using it as a tool, what if we didn't use the AI built tool in beautiful AI and instead we use chat GBT? Let's see what happens there. I'm going to go ahead and create a presentation generate with AI This time there's a section here, Train AI with additional context. And I'm going to go to text, I want to do some prompt engineering. So I'm going to go to Chat GBT, the Openai.com All right, and I gave it to me right away, so I want to develop something else. Okay, let's say for instance, let's pick a different topic. How about, let's talk about something in relation to. All right. You can say this, provide the content of a Powerpoint presentation that it or you can say highlights. Let's use the word highlights. See words are very important when you're prompting. That highlights the marketing tactics of Walmart versus Target. Please include at least four bullet points in each slide and do not exceed, we'll say seven slides. Okay, Let's see what that gives us. All right, so as you can see, it's outputting a lot of net information here relevant to the subject matter. What I'm going to do now in order to utilize Chat GPT, Wood, beautiful Dois, I'm going to grab the content for my slides here. Again, we don't need this note on the bottom. We're just going to grab the slide content and I'm going to just select Copy. Then I'm going to go here and I'm going to drop, I'm going to paste the content. One thing to keep in mind is you want to keep the content close together. I'm going to organize this a little better. Slide one, slide two. And let's just make sure everything is structured in a way that the AI will understand it better. Organization is crucial to generating AI content, so we need to make sure that everything is set up properly. Great. Now with that, I'm going to go ahead and click Generate, Presentation. Let's see what it gives us. What's really cool about this now is we're integrating chat GBT 35 that we've been talking about and using, we're doing so with the beautiful platform and let's see how those two work together. Now even though Beautiful AI has an AI engine built into it, it has its own designer bot, You're not limited to using it. So you can certainly use chat GBT and then bring your stuff into Beautiful I. All right, let's see what we got here. All right, So I asked for only seven slides and like you gave me eight, which is okay. That happens sometimes. By the way, you ask for seven slides, do not exceed seven slides and it'll throw in like an extra slide in there. But if you notice Chat GBT gave us seven slides. What happened from there is beautiful that AI thought that it would be better to give you the seven slides, an initial title slide. The first slide is called Marketing Strategies Comparison Comparison Contrast the marketing strategies of Walmart and Target, the two largest discount retailers in the US. Interesting then as you go along, by the way, you can modify any of these. If I wanted to modify, I can do like an image position and I can play around with where I want to place things. You can even zoom in and out of these images if you wanted to. If I wanted to do this, I can zoom in and out. I didn't like how so zoomed in like that. I actually don't even like this picture. I can always change it. But I do want to show Target and Walmart as a whole. I want to make sure it at least looks like that. But yeah, you can do all of that within the beautiful AI platform. But for the purpose of this course, I just mainly want to focus on the AI aspect of things, right? Walmart marketing tactics, that looks good. Target marketing tactics, online presence in E commerce of each, advertising and branding, community engagement, future trends and innovations. Awesome. Same thing again. You can click on this and export the presentation as you like if you want. You can also play around with the layouts and you can add elements. You could work on animation. You could record even on here. You could do a lot of neat things just within the beautiful AI platform. Or like I said, you can export it as we've done by going to export presentation. And like I said, I usually like to do it as an edible Powerpoint and I'll export it and get my Powerpoint slides. I hope you found this lesson valuable and this tool beneficial. Like I said, this is the only tool that you would have to subscribe for, but it's in no way or form mandatory for the course. I just want to make sure I present all the tools that are available out there, at least the main ones that are very proficient in driving AI technology for the purpose of presentation creation. Thank you. 9. Create a Presentation with AI generated VBA code (no coding): All right. Now to get more into the fun stuff. Expanding on the previous session where we were talking about creating Powerpoint slides using AI generation with VBA code and the integration of Chad BT. The first thing I want to show, based on the former presentation, is going into developer mode, assuming you opened up a blank Powerpoint presentation, which we all should know how to do by now. You're going to go to File and then you're going to go to Options. Then once you go to Options, you want to go to the customize ribbon tab. And then in there it gives you all the tabs that you want in your ribbon. The one that we're looking for is called Developer because that'll give us access to visual Basic for applications. Vba. I already have it selected. But if you don't, you're just going to basically select it. Hit okay. Then what it does is it gives you the developer tab here, then you can see the option for Visual Basic right there. It can be accessed simply by clicking on Visual Basic, the icon which will open the Visual Basic editor, or you can just hit 11 and it'll come up as well. Now keep in mind when you hit a 11, depending on your keyboard, again, you might have to hit Alt FNF 11 if you have FN. Otherwise, you just hit alt F 11. But nevertheless, what we're going to do is we're going to go into chat GBT. We're going to do some prompt engineering, put in some queries for VBA code based on content that we want developed. We're going to take the VBA code and then we're going to drop it here in the VBA module platform. And then we'll have it execute and create a presentation for us. This is a very cool way of creating Powerpoint presentations. And it focuses a lot on the content. It doesn't necessarily give you visually appealing images like beautiful, do I? But it will give you meaningful content. And that's one of the things that we're looking to do is content automation and streamlining with AI. So this is a very powerful approach. It gets a little lower level than some of the other approaches which I think is really neat. It teaches, it gives you some good exposure and ultimately a great learning experience. In order to do this, you want to ask chat GBT to develop VBA code for you on creating content for a specific topic. You want to designate how many slides you want. Let's think of a topic here. I'm going to say, please provide VBA code for a Powerpoint presentation. On the top of it can be any topic, let's say on the topic of these steps that one should take in preparing for an interview. Let's be specific. For a view that's a little bit more specific, I should say please provide VBA code for a Powerpoint presentation on the topic of the steps that one should take in preparing for a job interview. I'll just say make sure it is at least ten slides. Let's go for ten slides all. Once you enter that, you'll see that chat GBT will get to work and create Powerpoint slide for you on this very topic. And it'll do so with code chat GBT generated code using VBA. What you're going to do is you're going to click Copy Code. And when you do that, it's going to say copied. You're going to take all this. You don't really need to know what's going on here. It's not too relevant. But if you want sure, you can get into it more. I'll give you one tip. Anything that you see in quotations is or will be your content steps to prepare for a job interview. Your name introduction, understanding the importance of effective preparation for a job interview. So all of this stuff here will be considered content. Okay, let's see what happens when we embed this into Powerpoint. Again, you're going to go to Developer Visual Basic, that's one way to access it. Or you can just to Alt F 11 and that'll come up as well. Once you're here, you're going to go to Insert Module. Then once you're there, you just right click. And you're under module ready. So then you just hit Paste. Then that's it. And then you just basically run your code. The run button is right there. You hit run, and lo and behold, you get an error. Now if you get an error like this, it'll tell you where the error is. You can simply just go back to chat GBT and tell it, hey, I'm getting an error here. Can you remove it or can you fix it? I'm going to say I'm getting an error on this line and you remove it and try again. Okay, When I do that, it's going to go ahead and remove that line and just give me the code that I want without that syntax error. I'm glad that happened, because it goes to show that sometimes AI is prone to errors and can cause issues at times, there's still room for improvement. But that's where the process of refinement comes in. What we did is we just erased the former code, and then I just went ahead and re pasted the new one. And then I can just go ahead and run that again. And there we go. Steps to prepare for a job interview. And then you're meant to put your name here. As I mentioned, it's not going to be as visually appealing, as beautiful.ai But it'll at least give you a framework to work with. It'll give you some bare bones to play around with. Step one, research the company, understand a job description, prepare your answers. Practice, interview etiquette, dress professionally, bring necessary documents, ask questions, follow up after the interview. Additional tips. Now, I don't like this too much because I see that for all the steps. Really. It mentions the same bullet point. It says detailed information and tips for the step. It hasn't helped me enough. Let me go back chat GBT. Let me talk to the AI a little bit. I want to persuade, I want to convince it to give me more data. I'll say, thanks. Can you update the VBA code to include at least say, four bullet points in each slide, explaining each step in detail. Please create slides sequentially. There we go. Now it's going to go ahead and generate code for that, slide 12. And it's going to go through all of them. Let's see what it gives us. All right, let's try this one out and see what happens. Copy code. I'm going to go back to the code again. Make sure you stop it as enter it. Then just go ahead and run your code again. Now, let's see what it did. Practice interview in. It didn't really do much. I don't like it. I think it's, it's almost like it misunderstood me. Like it put the number four again, the art of persuasion. Let's go back and see what happens. This code adds four bullet points to each slide. Now it doesn't, so let's go ahead and go back. This code does not add four bullet points. I want more information for each slide in detail. The steps explaining each step in detail. Please include a few sentences in each slide. Let's try that. I apologize for the oversight chat, PT apologizes to you. And it's going to give you an updated version of the VBA code with more detailed information for each step. Let's see how this one looks like. Let's still generating the code, taking a little time, but that's okay. Let's see what this gives us. Let's go back to stop. Go here, enter and run. Let's see what we got now. Okay, step one, there we go. Now we can work with step one, research the company before the interview. Thoroughly research company, etcetera. Step two, step 3456789. You can see up until step four, things are looking pretty unique. But then when you get to step 5,678.9, it starts being generic. Additional information you can customize, then I'm going to tell it. Can you update steps five through steps nine as well With more details. Can update step five through nine, each with more details. They each include a few sentences. Now, it's going to give you the updated Powerpoint or VBA code. Um, with additional information for each slide, including steps five through nine. Again, as I mentioned, this goes through the whole refinement process where we have to talk to it and persuade it to give you what you're looking for. That's the whole aspect of content generation here. All right, then I'm going to go here a copy again. You want to make sure you stop this, erase your code, erase all of it, and enter the new code and run it. There we go. I still don't like this bullet 0.4 so I'm going to just erase that. But step 1234567, Okay. Now things are looking a lot better, right? It's still left nine and it's probably, because there's additional tips on here, probably left you some room to add stuff that you want, but this is looking a lot better. As you can see, it's giving you a framework to work with. You can play around with this from here on out. What I can do is I can go to design and I can pick one of the themes. And I can just modify something that I want, say I pick this one. Okay. I've already made it look better in just a matter of a few seconds. I can also break this up into bullet points, okay? And I can do that for each of them. And as you can see, this is a lot quicker than you having to write your own script and having to create your own Powerpoint from scratch, right? You've already been given some initial content to work with, you would basically do that throughout. Right? And then if I even wanted to add images. Right, I can do that. Right. So I can go to, I can go to insert pictures from stock images. And I can pick like an image that I like, it could be anything. This is one right here. I'm going to go ahead and insert that. I can just take this and place it right here, for instance. Just as an example, right? And you can do that for all your slides, okay? Just to give you an example. Another one here in picture stock images. And I can pick something. Okay, that one was on dressed professionally. So let me type in Soup. I'll select this one. For instance, insert, bring this down here, dress professionally. And I can put this anywhere I want. Now a cool thing you can do, and this is just like basic Powerpoint tool features, is you can go to the designers. You basically just go to the design, go to design, sorry. I'll show you how to do it again. Go to design, go to designer, Then you can click on any of these designs. So I can click on this one, for instance. And there we go. It's modified it. Okay. In a matter of just a few seconds, I can change the design of my Powerpoint in many, many different ways. As you can see, I really hope that you enjoyed this session. This was a more technical session, I would say probably the most technical thus far of the mall. Really, probably in the whole course, because now we're dealing with back end code. But the good thing is you didn't have to know programming and you didn't have to know anything about the code. All you had to do was prompt. And that goes back to the concept of prompt engineering and the art of persuasion. I hope you enjoyed this session and look forward to the remainder of the course. 10. Conclusion and Takeaways: Hey chat GBT, How can I say goodbye to a group of students that I really enjoyed teaching? Saying goodbye to a group of students who've enjoyed teaching can be be bittersweet moment, but it's an opportunity, blah, blah, blah. Okay, can you provide this information to me in a Powerpoint presentation format? Okay, thanks for the content. Can you now be the same, but this time provide BBA code equivalent that I can use to embed in PPT, Powerpoint. Alright, hey everyone. As I was just doing this, I wanted to, my most humble gratitude to registering, enrolling in my, my course. Although I haven't met you in person, in most cases I haven't. I'm very thankful that you enrolled in my course and that you perhaps found it valuable and meaningful to desires or needs. I really hope that I met your learning objectives. And I wanted to end with a brief Powerpoint presentation, just a conclusion, recapping and talking about some lessons learned. Just to go back and just to highlight the tools learned, I just want to give an overview. Some of the AI tools that I presented and wanted to give you a learning experience for include the following, the Google Slides method using extension tools, specifically the magic slides, app slides with GPT. I thought that was a very useful one if you're really into using the web. You like Google Slides. I think this is a great one for you. As you saw, there were some, well, there was a nice presentation that we created there. I think it was the one on health and fitness. I think that was the one, if I'm not mistaken, And that one came out really good. There's also the VBA code with chat GBT method where we talked about streamlining with AI. And there we used Powerpoint in more of a developer mode to access some neat features using Visual Basic for applications. And we also looked at refining VBA code with chat GBT. When we saw chat GBT performing an error that ties back with the art of persuasion and working with prompt engineering. Then we looked at another AI tool, which is Microsoft Word for the web, and integrating that with Chat GBT. We looked at exportation, how to export a Powerpoint presentation within the Microsoft Word online version, and integrating that with Powerpoint ultimately. Then we looked at Beautiful AI. And I explain to you how that's the only tool that I presented throughout the entire course that has a subscription that requires you to pay. Think it's like 12 bucks a month if you want that. But as you saw, there are other tools that you can use that have just about the majority of the features that beautiful do AI would have except for more visually appealing slides and additional templates within its library. And it also has that really cool featured AI engine. But you can certainly capture a majority of those features within any of the other tools and get some really good looking presentations as well. Beautiful AI is a great option though, if that is something that you're interested in has features that simplify design user friendly interface of. It's very well known for having visually appealing slides. As we saw, some lessons learned include the following. We learned about prompt engineering. The art persuasion. Design brilliance, right, making things visually appealing and look good. And consistency in the style and the themes. Content automation, and other subjects that we've covered, all the AI tools. And we dived in detail for each, and we looked at some examples. And we created multiple presentations of different niches and different themes and different subjects. Then we talked about the importance of AI and enhancing presentation creation. We talked about some history, some evolution in the beginning as well. And I hope that tied well with the course. We also looked at efficiency and time saving benefits of using AI tools. I think now it's very apparent as to why all these AI tools are valuable and how we can use them to boost productivity and improve efficiency ultimately, which is one of the objectives. Really, these are all objectives of the course. Some course takeaways. Things that you want to take away from the course is, I would say this is only the beginning if you're on a learning journey to expanding your knowledge in this field, field of AI in general, and integrating it with tools that are available to us. Microsoft tools, for instance, like Powerpoint, and so on. Continue learning and try things practically. A lot of what you learn from the course. Go ahead and try it practically. Give it a shot. Go in Google Slides and try it out. Microsoft Word for the web. Try some VBA code generated by Chat GBT and embedded into Powerpoint. Play around with all of these features. Try Beautiful, Do I if you can, and see what you like most and just gain some experience. That's how you're going to learn. Best. Take everything that was learned. Now you have all these tools. Put them in your pocket and use them as needed. And keep in mind that you can apply these skills for future outlooks as well, which I will briefly expand on. The second thing is continuous learning and exploration of new tools. Keep looking for new tools. I gave you a few in this course. The great thing is you have lifetime access to this course. So you can always go back and learn and revisit and refresh your knowledge. It's a beautiful thing. Also keep an eye out for potential impact on future outlook. The future is looking bright for AI. Stay current, understand the industry trend, and keep an eye out for emerging technological advances in AI.
