TL;DR
What did u/AvidSkier9900 use Claude for?
A consultant at a two-to-three person firm uses Claude to draft storylines from notes, improve slide layouts with the PowerPoint add-in, and rework decks and templated documents with Cowork. They say the PowerPoint add-in "works surprisingly well" inside a deck with the right layout, and that with a Claude Project per client it knows the people and project, so they use their outsourced slide team less than before.
What they did
They have Claude draft a storyline and rough slides from meeting notes or memos, use the PowerPoint add-in to improve layouts inside a deck that already has the look they want, and point Cowork at a folder to rework a presentation. On one project, after one initiative charter was done, Cowork made six more from the same template and pre-filled them.
How it went

Worth knowing
- They haven't seen Claude make a client-ready deck end to end from scratch. They run it within individual paid plan limits.
- Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).
