Export Chat Responses to Microsoft PowerPoint 

After the AI has generated a response you wish to save:

• Hover your mouse over the response text.  
  • A set of icons will appear to the top right of the text block. 
• Click on Download Response, which looks like a downward-facing arrow. 
  • A "Download" options window will appear. 

Download 

• In the Format drop-down menu, ensure that PowerPoint is selected. 
  • Currently, there are many Microsoft Templates available like Gallery, Celestial, Frame, Organic, Circuit, Integral, Ion, Parcel, Vapor, and Crop. 
  • You can also choose whether to include the conversation name by toggling on the Include Conversation Name. 
• Once your options are set, click the Download button. 
  • The system will process the file. 

• Select Click to Download button to proceed in the pop-up window. 

• The text from the CometAI Platform response will be formatted and ready for use. 

Export Entire Conversation to Microsoft PowerPoint 

Once your conversation is complete:

• Locate the Download button on the top bar of the chat panel.
  • It is positioned directly above the first message in the conversation thread. 

• If the top bar is not found, hover over the model’s name to make the top bar pop-up.

• An advanced options panel will open allowing you to customize the exported document extensively.

Export Options 

Select your Export option to continue: 

• Format: Select PowerPoint as your desired output format. This guide focuses on the PowerPoint export. 
• Template: When exporting to PowerPoint, this option allows you to select a pre-designed template. 
  • Select it from the list of MS templates provided. 
• Include Conversation Name: Choose Yes to add the conversation's title (as seen in the left-hand panel) to the top of your document. 
• Include: This powerful option lets you decide which parts of the chat to export: Assistant Messages only, User Messages (your prompts) only, or Both. 
• Header Options (Conversation, Message, User, Assistant): These fields allow you to use Markdown (e.g., for a main heading, ## for a subheading) to automatically structure your document.
  • For example, using # in the Conversation Header field will make the conversation title a top-level heading in the Word document. You can similarly set headers for every message, or apply different headers for user and assistant messages, to create a highly organized transcript.

• Scroll to the "Conversations" list at the bottom of the pane after setting your formatting options. 
• You can select one or multiple conversations to combine into a single report. 
• The formatting and header settings you chose above will be applied to all selected conversations. 
• Click the Download button at the bottom of the panel. 
• Select Click to Download in the pop-up window. 
• Navigate to the location where you saved the file and open it with PowerPoint. 
  • The pptx file will be neatly formatted according to the options you selected, including the conversation title and any custom headers, creating a complete and readable record of your chat. 

Improving PowerPoint pptx Output 

• The quality and formatting of exported PowerPoint documents depend on how responses are generated in CometAI. 
• Using the built-in Custom Instructions and selecting the appropriate model can significantly improve the structure and readability of downloaded documents. 

Using Custom Instructions 

CometAI includes preconfigured Custom Instructions designed to generate structured, PowerPoint-ready output. 

When enabled, these instructions ensure that responses: 

• Use clear and readable headings instead of unstructured text 
• Maintain consistent spacing between sections 
• Avoid formatting issues such as markdown symbols or broken tables 
• Produce content that is easier to export and use in Microsoft PowerPoint 

Example

To access the Custom Instructions:

• Go to the Assistants Tab on the top-left sidebar.
• Click on Custom Instructions to toggle down the menu.                

• Click on the PowerPoint Assistant you want to use for the Custom Instructions Template.
• Select a model for the conversation (See Below for Recommended models list). 

• Download the conversation or response in the same way as discussed above. 

Important Note 

Custom Instructions improve: 

• PowerPoint structure 
• Readability 
• Section organization 

However, PowerPoint controls: 

• Fonts and font size 
• Margins and spacing 
• Styles and themes 

Using CometAI Helpers - Prompt Templates

Alternatively, you can use the Create PowerPoint Prompt Template from CometAI Helpers tab. To do this:

• Go to the Assistants tab on the Left-Hand side menu.
• Click on CometAI Helpers to toggle the dropdown menu.

• Click on the Create PowerPoint Prompt Template, and a window will pop-up asking you to provide information on:
  • Authors 
  • Title
  • Presentation topic
  • Supplementary documents

• This will generate a presentation for you in one go without having to provide follow-up information.

• Download the response as a PowerPoint presentation as shown in the previous sections.

Choosing the Right Model

The selected model directly affects how well slides are structured, how concise the content is, and how cleanly the output renders in PowerPoint. 

For presentations, models must: 

• Follow concise formatting rules 
• Generate short, slide-friendly content 
• Maintain clear structure without breaking layout 

Recommended Models

Paid model options: 

• Claude Sonnet 5 – Best balance of structure, consistency, and quality 
• Claude Opus (4.x) – More detailed and polished output 
• OpenAI GPT‑5.x – Strong general-purpose document generation 

Free model options: 

• UT Aspire – Llama 3.3 70B Instruct – Best Aspire option for structured and consistent slide generation 
• UT Aspire – Llama 4 (Scout / Maverick) – Good balance of speed and presentation quality 
• UT Aspire – Gemma 4‑31B – Best for simple, concise slide content. 

Use with Caution 

• Flash or Lite models (optimized for speed, less structured output) 
• Smaller models (may produce inconsistent formatting) 

Choosing the Right Template

Best Practice

For best results when exporting to PowerPoint: 

• Use the default structured output (Custom Instructions enabled) - PowerPoint Assistant under Custom Instructions 
• Select a high-quality model (Claude Sonnet or GPT‑5.x) 
• Enter prompts such as:  
  • “Create a 5-slide presentation on UT Dallas: Rising North Texas University” 
  • “Generate a pitch deck for a food delivery startup” 
  • “Create a presentation on climate change impacts with key points” 

Key Difference from Word Documents

• Word documents benefit from strict formatting rules 
• PowerPoint presentations work best with light guidance and concise content
