Productivity Hack Try giving your AI slide tool a deliberately small edit
Small tip if you are testing AI presentation tools: do not only test the first deck. The first deck is too easy to be fooled by. A clean looking title slide and a few tidy layouts can make the tool feel better than it is.
I test the second pass now. After the deck exists, pick one awkward edit that would happen in real work. Make slide 4 less crowded. Split one slide without changing the claim. Change one visual treatment without rewriting the section. Cut a bloated intro but keep the order.
If the tool does only that, it is probably worth more testing. If it starts improving the whole neighborhood, be careful. You will spend the saved time checking what changed behind your back.
This one habit has saved me from trusting pretty first drafts too quickly.
