With the release of Claude Opus 4.6 earlier this month, Anthropic rolled out a new Microsoft PowerPoint extension for its chatbot. Initially launched as a research preview for users on the Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, the Claude in PowerPoint extension is now available to Pro subscribers as well.
Anthropic announced the expanded availability in a recent post on X, adding that Claude in PowerPoint has gained support for connectors, allowing users to seamlessly integrate information from other tools. Its support page also outlines a limited-time promotion that gives users on all paid plans double the usage limit when using Claude in PowerPoint until March 19.
Claude in PowerPoint is an add-in that brings the company’s large-language model directly into the presentation workflow, allowing users to build and refine slides without switching between apps. Instead of manually drafting and formatting each slide, users can describe what they need in natural language, whether that’s generating a new deck, rewriting content, or restructuring existing slides.
The extension can revise selected content without reworking the entire deck and adapts to match the presentation’s existing layout, theme, and formatting. It can also turn bullet points into editable native PowerPoint charts and diagrams, reducing the time spent manually building visuals.
Connectors expand Claude’s slide-building capabilities
With connector support, Claude in PowerPoint can now pull information from linked apps and services, giving it access to more relevant context when generating or updating slides. Users can enable connectors by opening the Claude sidebar, selecting the connectors icon, and choosing from the available options.
The extension is available through the Microsoft Marketplace. As it’s still in research preview, Anthropic notes that it is best suited for iterative editing and drafting rather than highly sensitive or final deliverables.
