OpenAI adds real-time collaboration to ChatGPT Slides, introduces other new features
OpenAI has announced new features for ChatGPT Slides, including real-time teamwork. This lets several people work on the same presentation and share their thoughts. Users can also make changes directly to slides, such as editing text, updating charts, and moving or resizing images and shapes. The company has also highlighted improvements to its latest AI models for working with older programming languages, including COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. Banks, government agencies, and businesses still use these languages to run important computer systems.
ChatGPT Slides updates
The new ChatGPT Slides features aim to make teamwork and presentation editing easier. Users can share their presentations with others and make changes together in real time. They can also add comments and discuss feedback.
ChatGPT and OpenAI's AI agent dot can help turn feedback into changes to a presentation. This allows users to update their slides based on suggestions.
Users can also edit items directly on a slide. They can click on text to change it, update charts, and move or resize images and shapes.
To use this feature, users can ask ChatGPT to "create ChatGPT slides" based on an existing conversation or a file they have shared. Once the presentation is ready, they can present it directly in ChatGPT or export it to PowerPoint or Google Slides.
However, these new features are available only to users on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
ChatGPT Slides now offers new ways to prepare your presentation and help everyone understand the plan.

OpenAI's latest model advancements
In a separate announcement, OpenAI discussed improvements to its latest models for building software and moving systems that use older programming languages. These languages include COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic.
"These languages power software that banks, governments, and businesses depend on. Progress here means understanding decades of business logic and helping developers modernize those systems while preserving what works," the company wrote in a post on X.
