Branded PowerPoint skill
The Branded PowerPoint skill is an org skill in the Optimizely Opal Skills Directory that reads your organization's master PowerPoint template once and creates a permanent deck-building skill that generates presentations using your exact colors, fonts, and layouts every time.
It applies to everyone in your organization. An administrator installs and configures it once.
{ /* TODO: Confirm the name and shortcut of the deck-building skill that setup generates, and what happens when you run setup again after the template changes. The PRD does not specify either. */ }
Skill details
- Shortcut – /branded-powerpoint
- Type – Org skill
- Setup – Required
What the skill does
- Reads your organization's master PowerPoint template once, including every slide, color, font, and layout.
- Creates a second, permanent org skill that builds presentations from your template. The setup skill itself does not build decks.
- After setup, anyone in your organization can use the generated skill to build a new deck from a brief, rebrand an existing deck, or add slides to a deck without changing the existing ones.
Before you begin
- You must have the Manage Instructions permission to install this skill. If you do not, click Request in the Skills Directory to ask an administrator to install it.
- Your master template must be a .pptx file. Opal doesn't change your original template.
- Have your answers and files ready. Opal asks for them during setup.
Information Opal asks for
Opal asks for the following during setup. You can skip optional items.
- Master Template (Required) – Your organization's master PowerPoint template as a .pptx file. If Opal can't find a .pptx file, setup stops and tells you.
- Deck Specifics and Notes (Optional) – Anything the template doesn't show, such as rules for when to use each layout.
Install the skill
- Go to Directory > Skills.
- Find Branded PowerPoint and click Install.
- In the Setup required dialog, click Set up in chat.
- Answer Opal's questions and upload any files it asks for.
- Confirm the details when Opal asks.
For details about browsing, installing, updating, and uninstalling skills, see Skills Directory overview.
Use the skill
After setup, enter /branded-powerpoint in Opal Chat to run the skill on demand. Opal also applies it automatically when your request matches its When to use conditions. Try prompts like the following:
- Build a 12-slide on-brand deck for our Q3 business review.
- Rebrand this existing deck onto our template.
- Add three slides to the deck we built last week.
Things to know
- Opal delivers decks as .pptx files only.
- The generated deck skill is live for everyone in your organization as soon as setup finishes.
Update the skill
When Optimizely publishes a new version, Update displays on the skill's card in the Skills Directory. Opal keeps the information you provided during setup and asks only for anything the new version adds. See Update a skill.
