Install & Open
Install
Open PowerPoint and go to Home → Add-ins (in some PowerPoint versions: Insert → Get Add-ins).
Search for GPT for PowerPoint.
Select Add and accept the license terms.
The Twistly button appears on the Home ribbon. Installation adds nothing to your computer beyond the add-in itself — it runs inside PowerPoint.
Install in one click
Skip the store search with these direct links:
Quick install — opens the AppSource install page; select Get it now and follow the prompts.
PowerPoint on the web — opens a new presentation in PowerPoint for the web with the add-in already loaded. Nothing to install; works on any computer.
Quick launch (desktop) — opens desktop PowerPoint with the add-in preloaded. Requires PowerPoint installed on this device.
Open
Click the Twistly button on the Home ribbon. The add-in opens as a panel on the right side of your presentation. You can start creating immediately — signing in is optional at first (see Sign In & Your Account).
The add-in doesn't appear?
Restart PowerPoint after installing — the ribbon button sometimes appears only after a restart.
Update Office. Very old PowerPoint versions may not show the Add-ins store. Use File → Account → Update Options → Update Now.
Work or school account: your Microsoft 365 administrator may have restricted add-in installation. If the store shows the add-in but Add is unavailable, ask your admin to approve Twistly (they can deploy it from the Microsoft 365 admin center). While you wait, you can use the web version at app.twistly.ai — no installation needed.
Multiple accounts: make sure PowerPoint is signed in with the account you installed the add-in under.
