Asked Copilot to draft a congratulations speech for me and to generate a PPT to go with the speech

 I am using M365 Copilot for this task. 

MY PROMPT: 

help me write a one-minute video script to congratulate the upcoming 10th anniversary conference of the Macao Association for English Language Teaching (MAELT). MAELT is a very active professional organisation for English Language teachers in Hong Kong. It holds an annual conference every year, as well as occasional professional development workshops on specific topics. I attended their inauguration ceremony in 2017. I attended their annual conference two years ago, and I delivered the keynote speech. I am highly appreciative of the effort of the executive committee of MAELT in promoting the professionalism of English teachers in Macao. Finish the video script by my wishing them every success for their 10th anniversary conference. 

OUTPUT: 

Here’s a warm and professional one-minute video script tailored for your message to the Macao Association for English Language Teaching (MAELT):

**[Opening – Friendly and sincere tone]**

Hello everyone,  

I’m Paul Sze from Hong Kong, and I’m delighted to send my heartfelt congratulations to the Macao Association for English Language Teaching on the occasion of your 10th anniversary conference.

**[Middle – Personal connection and appreciation]**

I still remember attending your inauguration ceremony back in 2017—it was a truly inspiring moment. Two years ago, I had the honour of delivering the keynote speech at your annual conference, and I was deeply impressed by the energy, professionalism, and dedication of everyone involved.

MAELT has grown into a vibrant and active professional organisation, consistently supporting English language teachers through annual conferences and targeted professional development workshops. Your commitment to promoting excellence in English teaching in Macao is truly commendable.

**[Closing – Well wishes]**

To the executive committee and all members of MAELT—thank you for your tireless efforts. I wish you every success for your 10th anniversary conference and for many more years of impactful work ahead!

COPILOT then offered: 

Would you like help recording or formatting this for video delivery—like adding subtitles or visual cues?

I said yes, and then it gave me a script with 3 sections and screen suggestions for each secton.

COPILOT THEN offered to create a PPT: I said yes. 

Then it actually created the PPT, which is immediately usable (ie, not just the text content for each slide):
