Presentation software is becoming an execution surface for AI — not just a place to paste AI-generated bullets. With 30 million decks created daily, 37% of PowerPoint time wasted on formatting, and edits spiking 122% in the final 10 minutes before meetings, the case for agentic AI in presentations is overwhelming. Microsoft Agent Mode, Copilot agents, and Claude in PowerPoint are converging on a new model — but the UK government trial shows the habit change is still catching up.

AI Search Just Got Personal — And That Changes Content Strategy
When AI search blends public web content with private user context, content discovery changes fundamentally. With 93% of AI Mode searches ending without a click and publisher traffic down 33% YoY, here is how the shift from rankings to relevance-in-context reshapes what creators and marketers need to build.
How to Design an AI Agent That Knows When to Escalate to a Human
The best AI agents are not the ones that act forever. They are the ones that understand consequence, ambiguity, and reversibility — and know exactly when to call a human.
