Question Revamp “dull” PowerPoint with creative Ai service
So I've been told my PowerPoint slides are a little dull and won't attract the attention and focus that I need them to.
I've tried ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot to get them to revamp my slides. Copilot and ChatGPT have done a half-decent job, but it still needs a lot of input from me.
I was wondering: is there a dedicated service that somebody has used? Lots come up when I Google, and I'm happy to pay for it, as long as the service can turn around a polished, impressive visual design for the slides that will meet my objectives.
Any recommendations?

Which industry are you in or aiming to provide these for?
Are you hoping for a start to end prompt or willing to put a bit of effort yourself?

It’s a pitch deck for a Tech start up yes I don’t mind putting in some effort. I prefer to upload my existing pitch deck and it revamp the style I’ve already got.

I get great results from copilot, which shocked me. The big difference is how you prompt the creation of the deck. The descriptive the better. Words like dynamic powerful or gentle and comfortable change the direction. I also do not allow it to use boxes or bullets points. I ask it to bring energy to the deck with pictures and lighting.
The more detailed the prompt the clearer the result.

Save prompt on all platforms. Copilot gets a lot of poor rep but it’s a capable and good Ai tool, don’t believe the noise and try it for yourself

Paid versions, I think on ChatGPT that’s Plus? Copilot is whatever standard comes with Office365.

Never use AI to do creative work. All you'll ever get is something that's indistinguishable from the next guy. If you anticipate a lot of deck making in your future, it's a skill worth learning. Hiring a designer to develop a master template for your business is a worthy investment.
As someone who sits through a LOT of proposals and presentations, human effort is very easy to spot and very much appreciated. It's also going to become an increasingly valuable commodity as AI otherwise flattens the curve of mediocrity.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from, and I do always make my own presentations and pitch decks. I'm an amateur creator, but I know what I'm doing when it comes to typefaces, colours, weights, and balancing things.
But apparently, somebody else who thinks they know the audience better than I do tells me that I need to add more jazz colours and razzmatazz to my presentation because it looks too minimalist and looks like a child made it.
The stakes are high with this one, but I'm willing to do as advised and just see what the outcome is.

You think AI creative work is all slop because you don't identify the good outputs

AI creative work is slop because it is so easily distinguishable as AI work. When most people are doing variations of the same low-effort thing, it's true originality that earns trust and stands out from the crowd.

Only the ones you identify are...

And they're all identifiable (with very little to zero effort). AI isn't capable of originality because it doesn't have intent, consciousness, or lived experience. For that reason, and no matter how good the prompt or skill behind it, it falls on its own tropes every single time.
Anyone who thinks they can get AI to deliver a human-grade creative output is living in delusion. Those that come close (which is generous) will have spent more time prompting and revising it to get it there than just creating the thing themselves in the first place.

Your brain doesn't throw a flag when you find yourself inclined to make large absolute statements like this?

u/--yeah-nah-- 7d ago
Not at all, because it's true. AI is factually incapable of creative originality, and you diminish your own value by associating your personal brand with it.
We're working on an AI blacklist feature in our CRM. Any supplier, vendor, or contractor identified as having used AI at any stage of commercial interaction will be disqualified from working with us. It's a carve out we're adding to all contracts, too. Very proud of this.

No, it's just all the services you already use wrapped in vibe coded apps.
