ChatGPT for PowerPoint GA: Audit Costs by August 6

ChatGPT for PowerPoint has moved from beta to general availability for Business workspaces. Enterprise teams have a free window for using this feature until August 6th. After this date, all deck tasks will start using credits from the same pool as Workspace Agents. This change means teams need to audit their usage before the first August invoice arrives. The general availability announcement came with two other major releases on July 9th: GPT-5.6, a new three-tier model family, and ChatGPT Work, a unified agent product. ChatGPT for PowerPoint is a Microsoft Office web add-in that runs inside the PowerPoint application. It can build first-draft decks, revise existing slides, rewrite content, and review narrative structures. Users install it from the Microsoft Marketplace. The add-in also supports Skills and connected apps like SharePoint and Outlook. However, there are current limitations. Template adherence is not guaranteed, and complex formatting is not fully supported. Also, the ChatGPT Memory feature is not available. Enterprise data governance teams should confirm their data agreements cover PowerPoint content, though data shared with ChatGPT for Business is not used for model training by default. This is important because it introduces new AI capabilities and potential costs for businesses using PowerPoint.
