## 2. Launch Plus AI

### From the Home tab

* In your PowerPoint app, go to the **Home** tab, click on **Add-ins.**
* Search for Plus AI if it doesn't show up immediately under My Add-ins

Click the Plus AI icon to open the Plus AI sidebar.

## 3. Log into your Plus account

<figure><img src="/files/3IR9LT4nqzGQvyijTHIB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once the Plus AI sidebar is open, you will be asked to log in to your account.

You can log in to Plus with either a Google or Microsoft account. If you need to use a different authentication method, [contact us](/help/contact-us.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
Your Plus account is separate from your Microsoft account. You can sign up and use Plus AI with a Google email address even if you're logged into PowerPoint with a Microsoft account.
{% endhint %}

## 4. Start your trial&#x20;

You need a paid plan to use Plus AI. If you're a new customer to Plus, you can start a 7 day free trial. You'll need to add a credit card, but you can [cancel](/plus-ai/plans-and-billing.md#manage-or-cancel-my-subscription) at any time during your trial.
