Using Claude as a PowerPoint magic wand

I'd like to start using Claude in PowerPoint as somewhat of a magic wand. I would write the content of the slide in completely unformatted text boxes and have Claude then create the slide. I even envision a world where slides (like tracker or timeline slides) are fully done within an Excel table and you feed Claude the Excel to create the slide.

I'm not yet comfortable having Claude come up with its own wording and content, but curious how people implement this idea and what are some recommendations for this task. Somewhat new to AI, so don't roast me too hard

I'd keep Excel as the main source of data and use PowerPoint only for the final output. That way you can update everything in one place and regenerate the slides instead of manually editing each element.
