Content & CreativeDone with Microsoft Scout
Build a slide deck from a single prompt
Scout used its pptx skill to build a 5-slide quarterly cloud review deck saved to Downloads, with diagrams and HTML artifacts also covered.
- What They Did
- The author gave Scout one prompt asking for a 5-slide PowerPoint file in Downloads. The prompt named a title slide, five content slides, a small bar chart with fake numbers, and a Microsoft-style design. Scout chose the pptx skill on its own and built the deck with the pptxgenjs library. No manual steps are described.
- How It Went
- The deck came out with KPI tiles, a bar chart, multi-column layouts and a risk grid. It had six slides in total, one more than the five requested. The author redacted the author footer on the title slide.
- Worth Knowing
- The prompt asked for 5 slides but the output had 6, so check the slide count. The author's own runs used fake numbers.
