Twistly Agent (Chat)

The Twistly Agent is a chat panel inside the add-in. Ask in plain language — "make the titles punchier", "translate this slide to Spanish", "turn the second paragraph into bullets" — and it edits your slides for you.

What it works on

Based on what you have selected: the selected text or shapes, the current slide, or the whole presentation. It handles regular text, bulleted and numbered lists, bold/italic/underline, hyperlinks, and table contents.

How it behaves

  • Edits apply automatically. When the agent proposes changes, they're written to your slides right away — a checkmark confirms it. Review the slide and use PowerPoint's undo if needed.

  • It's honest about its limits. The agent edits text. Asked to change colors, fonts, positions, or delete shapes, it says it can't — and when another Twistly feature can do the job (redesign, add slide, add image, create presentation), it points you there with a shortcut.

  • It asks before big operations. Editing a very large presentation in one go prompts a confirmation first.

  • Conversations are saved and resume when you reopen the panel. After about 3 days of inactivity the thread starts fresh — use New Conversation to start fresh anytime.

  • You can set the language the agent replies in, rate replies, and stop a response mid-way.

Practical notes

  • Messages can be up to 3,000 characters.

  • If the agent says it changed nothing, it explains why (nothing matched, content couldn't be edited, or the text was already as requested).

  • Available on every plan.
