textbox = slide.Shapes.AddTextbox(1, 100, 200, 600, 100)

textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "My First Slide"
textbox.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 48

Working with AI – Google Gemini Gem

Please go to this gem https://gemini.google.com/gem/1wiGmsTYmXEVuRAeAguk2AR6Z2D-x6QbC?usp=sharing

And ask things like

  • Add 10 rectangle shapes in the current slideshow.
  • Add a sine wave in the current slideshow.
  • Add 5 slides with title Slide and Slide number.

It will generate code, Copy the code. Come back to PowerPoint and paste the code inside code editor, just run it. Have fun 🙂

It is very important to note that AI can hallucinate and will not always give correct code. If required change the way you want to.
