Vesence in PowerPoint gives you a chat with full insight into the presentation you have open.
Use it to ask anything related to the open deck, including checking the presentation, improving wording, fixing layout issues, and turning source material into slide-ready content before a presentation is shared or delivered.
Common use cases
Use Vesence in PowerPoint when you want to:
- Ask questions about, review, or work directly with the open deck
- Improve slide titles, bullets, labels, and speaker-facing wording
- Fix alignment, spacing, overcrowding, and visual hierarchy
- Check consistency across a deck
- Turn a memo, summary, spreadsheet, or document set into slide-ready content
- Prepare a deck for a board, client, investor, internal team, or counterparty
What Vesence can use in PowerPoint
In PowerPoint, Vesence has insight into the presentation you have open.
It can use slide text, layouts, placeholders, objects, visual structure, and supporting materials you provide, such as Word documents, Excel workbooks, PDFs, emails, or summaries.
You can ask Vesence to work on the whole deck, one slide, a section, or a specific issue such as wording, layout, source-to-slide conversion, or consistency.
Workspace in PowerPoint
The PowerPoint add-in includes a workspace where you can add documents and other materials as context for Vesence.
Use the workspace when Vesence should consider another file or source, such as a source deck, memo, spreadsheet, prior version, template, styleguide, or supporting material.
See: Vesence Workspace for more information.
Action in PowerPoint
Assist
Assist is the Vesence chat for the PowerPoint presentation you have open.
Use Assist to ask Vesence to do anything related to the open deck, from answering questions about the presentation to checking, rewriting, restructuring, or preparing slide content from source material.
Assist also includes pre-added prompt buttons for common tasks:
- Check — asks Vesence to run selected presentation checks

- Fix Layout — asks Vesence to improve slide layout and visual structure
You can use an example prompt, press one of these buttons, or simply chat with Vesence in your own words.

What Assist can do
Check
Check reviews a deck or selected slides for quality issues before sending, presenting, or relying on a deck.
Check can cover:
- Consistency — terminology, formatting, slide style, numbering, data labels, and repeated content
- Layout — alignment, spacing, overlapping objects, visual hierarchy, and slide balance
- Wording — unclear headings, long bullets, grammar issues, typos, or wording that should be tightened
- Source consistency — figures, claims, or references that should match supporting material
Example prompts:
- "Check this deck for consistency issues."
- "Check slide 4 for layout problems."
- "Check the wording across the deck."
- "Find slides that are too crowded or hard to read."
To run a Check
Show stepsHide steps
- Open the deck you want to review and open the Vesence pane.
- Press Check to start a review.
- Vesence reviews the deck and lists the issues it finds, grouped by category — Wording, Layout, and Consistency.
- Work through each flagged issue, slide by slide, and apply the fixes you agree with.
Each issue is labelled by how much it matters, so you can deal with the important ones first:
Improve Wording
Improve Wording polishes slide text while keeping the message.
It can help with stronger slide titles, shorter bullets, clearer labels, more consistent wording across slides, and better client, board, investor, or internal tone.
Example prompts:
- "Improve the wording on this slide."
- "Make the bullets shorter and more parallel."
- "Rewrite the title so it states the key takeaway."
- "Make this slide sound more client-ready."
Fix Layout
Fix Layout improves slide layout and visual structure.
It can help with alignment, spacing, overcrowding, visual hierarchy, object placement, and readability.
Example prompts:
- "Fix the layout on this slide."
- "Improve spacing and alignment."
- "Make this slide easier to scan."
- "Reduce crowding without changing the message."
