PowerPoint (PPTX) reports

The agent can work with existing presentations: read their structure and update text boxes and table cells — without rebuilding slides, preserving design, branding, and element placement.

The typical scenario: you have last week's report (or last quarter's deck). You tell the agent, "Update the report with the current data" — and get a file for the new period that only needs a final check before it is sent.

How it works

The work follows a "read first, then edit" step:

  1. Inspection. The agent reads the presentation and gets a list of editable units: each text box and each table cell — with its text and slide binding.
  2. Edits. For each unit the agent makes changes wholesale (replacing a box) or surgically (changing a text fragment, e.g. a value in a table cell).
  3. Result. The changes are written to a file — either a new version next to the original, or the original file if you ask for that. The source template can be left untouched.

Reporting into a template

If you use a branded presentation template, the agent fills it in for the new reporting period: it updates text, figures, and tables while preserving the layout. This is part of the reporting skill: from the template the agent prepares both the report letter and the slides from it.

Good to know

  • The agent does not rebuild slides and does not create a presentation from scratch out of text: it updates the existing structure. A new design is a job for a designer or a separate tool.
  • Text boxes and tables are editable. Charts, diagrams, and images inside a slide are not recalculated automatically — the agent can describe them, but it will not modify them.
  • The result is a regular .pptx file that opens in PowerPoint without layout loss.

When to use it

  • Weekly/monthly status: one template, new data each period.
  • Quarterly executive presentations: updating figures and work statuses without re-drawing slides.
  • Portfolio reporting: a single format for all projects in the portfolio.
