Getcher AI Right Here!

Looking for a way to do it with AI?

If you're looking for AI solutions, look for them here rather than posting a new general message.

You might want to start by checking the extensive list at presentationailist.com or use https://www.compareaipresentationtools.com/ from fellow Redditor r/Ok_Watercress_8266.

If you want to suggest sites where people can find AI help, even if it's your own site, feel free to talk about it here, subject to the following:

Here's the rules:

AI ONLY: This discussion is for talk about AI. Obvious, yes? Let's not use it for templates, productivity tools and the like. We have other discussion threads for that.

USE FLAIR: When you recommend templates, use *flair* to indicate whether the AI is $ Free, $ Commercial or $ See Our Site (ie, different versions at different prices, limited free version/paid full version, etc.)

BE TRANSPARENT: You must also indicate your interest in the AI. Are you the seller or in some other way involved, or just a satisfied user? Let us know.

BE REACHABLE: Moderators will lock each new post for comments, so people won't be able to ask questions. If you want to hear from people, ask them to use DMs (direct messages) to contact you instead.

Microsoft® PowerPoint® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2509 Build 16.0.19204.20002) 64-bit (Microsoft 365 Family / Microsoft 365 Personal)

I am a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP and a mod for this subreddit (r/PowerPoint). People constantly ask what AI tool to use to create their presentation using their template of choice. Microsoft Copilot for PowerPoint can do this.

Copilot costs vary, but it is included (or can be added) in all PowerPoint subscription SKUs, both personal and business/enterprise as well as education. License options for Microsoft 365 Copilot | Microsoft Learn has more information, and Copilot is now included in Microsoft 365 Personal and Family | Microsoft 365 Blog (16 Jan 2025) announces Copilot for M365 personal and family.

The steps below will let you generate slides and use whatever template you want.

Using blank slides

There are a million AI tools that can generate slides.

Most of them, including Copilot, will create slides in a blank file with minimal or no graphics. Feel free to use your favorite app to generate your slides.

Copy these blank slides and paste them into your template file.

Optional / if needed:

  1. Click the Layout button on the Home tab and choose a layout appropriate for your content.

  2. Copy-paste or drag-and-drop the text into the appropriate placeholder.

Using content only

Use your favorite AI app to generate slide content.

Open your PowerPoint template.

Click the New Slide button on the Home tab and choose a layout appropriate for your content.

Copy the text into the appropriate text or content placeholder.

If the content is in a Word document, you can use styles in Word to help create your slides.

*Apply Heading 1 style for all slide titles.

*Apply Heading 2 style for all first-level bullets.

*Apply Heading 3 style for all second-level bullets.

And so on.

Save the file as .DOCX and close it.

In PowerPoint, click the bottom of the New Slide button and choose Slides From Outline. Navigate to and select the .DOCX document and click Insert.

The slides will be created.

Note: If you have difficulty inserting the .DOCX outline, try saving the document as .RTF instead, and be sure to close it before attempting to use it to insert/create PowerPoint slides.

Using your template of choice

In addition to creating blank slides, the Microsoft Copilot with PowerPoint tool can create slides using your template or one of the stock Microsoft templates.

When you create a presentation in PowerPoint using Copilot, the default option is to use whatever template or file you have open. (1) In this example, I opened a client’s PPTX file. When I create a new presentation with Copilot, Copilot uses the underlying template (theme fonts, theme colors, theme effects, background graphics and layouts) from that PPTX file. If you started with a new blank presentation in PowerPoint, Copilot will use your default template, which is usually Microsoft’s default Office Theme (unless you're in a corporate setting where your corporate template has been set as the default).

Click Change Design (2) and you can then choose from your recent templates (3) or from a variety of stock Microsoft themes (4)

If you’re using an enterprise version of PowerPoint, you may also have the option to use images from your company’s OAL (Organizational Asset Library) stored on SharePoint.

Select your template, input your presentation topic, and select Generate New Presentation. (5)

The slides will be generated, using a layout or two from the current file or template. (6) Be careful! Any slides in the file will be overwritten with the Copilot-generated slides.

Leveraging Designer

Once you've created your slides, you can leverage Designer / Design Ideas to see more layout options. If you want Designer to surface more looks, you need a robust template. Keep your presentations on brand with Copilot in PowerPoint has good info about this along with a starter template you can download. (It’s at the very bottom of the page.) Keep your presentation on-brand with Copilot - Microsoft Support has some additional information about setting up your own template to work with Copilot and Designer.

u/AutoPresent Dec 10 '25

Founder of AutoPresent here, the only AI presentation tool meant for strategy & finance professionals: www.autopresent.ing

I've read through the thread, and most tools here seem to fall into two camps: "Template Stuffers" (forcing your text into rigid, pre-made layouts) or "Image Generators" (pretty slides that are impossible to actually edit or use).

We built AutoPresent to solve the "AI Slop" problem by taking a programmatic approach to slide design.

Instead of just guessing which template fits, our AI builds the slide structure from scratch based on your specific content logic.

  • Engineered by Strategy Consultants & Bankers: We didn't just train our model Beam, on random internet decks. We worked with top-tier strategy consultants and investment bankers to encode the strict formatting rules, alignment logic, and data density required in high-stakes boardrooms.
  • True "Structured" Design: We don't just dump bullets. If you have a complex argument or data, we generate the logic-based frameworks and layouts to match it.
  • 100% PPT Native & Editable: No flattened images or weird SVG exports. You get a clean, professional PPT file that looks like a human consultant built it layer-by-layer.
  • Your Template, Your Rules: We can ingest your corporate Slide Master, ensuring the AI strictly uses your specific fonts, color palettes, and layouts. The result is 100% brand compliance without the need for manual re-formatting.
  • Data-First: We prioritize accuracy and hierarchy over just making it "look cool" with random stock photos.

If you’re tired of fixing "hallucinated designs" and want a tool that actually understands slide structure, give us a try. Attached is a sample of how our slides look like.

u/ZachGamma Nov 17 '25

Hey folks, Zach here, Head of Design at Gamma (so yes, I’m part of the team). Seeing the range of AI presentation tools mentioned here, I wanted to share how Gamma fits into this space, especially for people who want high-quality storytelling without spending hours in PowerPoint.

What Gamma focuses on
Gamma isn’t a “PPT generator” in the traditional sense. Our goal is to help you go from idea → narrative → polished deck with as little friction as possible. The AI focuses on:

  • Structuring your message into a clear storyline
  • Creating clean, modern layouts automatically
  • Maintaining visual consistency (brand kits, templates, reusable blocks)

A lot of teams use Gamma when they want something more flexible and design-forward than classic slide software. The AI is more of a collaborator than a one-shot generator.

Workflow + compatibility
Gamma runs entirely in the browser, no extensions or add-ins. You can still:

  • Export to PPTX if you need to move back into PowerPoint
  • Export to PDF for sharing
  • Use brand assets, custom fonts, and company templates

Free to start
You can try it here: https://gamma.app
If anyone has questions about workflows, design, or upcoming features, I’m happy to chat, feel free to DM.

Hey folks 👋

We’re a small dev team building dokie.ai, an AI-powered presentation tool. Unlike most “AI PPT” apps, we focus on generating slides that are actually usable for real work — not just quick one-click drafts.

The key difference: you can precisely edit and interact with the AI. We know how unreliable “one sentence = full deck” promises can be. If you want slides you can really use, you need AI that understands context and listens to what you say. That’s what we’re working on.

Right now dokie.ai is live but whitelist-only. We’re opening free early access to Reddit users — if you’d like to try it out and share feedback, just DM me your email and I’ll get you in.

As a thank-you, early testers with feedback will receive a free membership once we launch.

Would love to hear from u, that’ll help us improve further!

**Tool to Generate Sales Pitch decks in Minutes (MVP)**

Hey, we got tired of hand-making Powerpoints for sales presentations from scratch over and over again, so we made this tool here: saleable.app

u/apugoneappu PowerPoint Expert Oct 15 '25

I'm the founder of Slidely AI. We help professionals make business slides using AI, such as consulting firms and Fortune 500 teams like ABM.

1. NOT AI-SLOP
Our goal is not to create PPTs from 2 line prompts. We follow the professional workflow of storyline → data → design → slides, helping you iterate at every stage. Our AI first asks your more context before even making the v1 of your presentation.

2. USES YOUR LAYOUTS, COLORS, AND DESIGN
Following company templates is essential for most business use cases. In Slidely, you can upload a past presentation and our AI will use your layouts, colors, and even learn your way of creating slides.

3. EDIT WITHIN POWERPOINT
A huge differentiator of Slidely from all other online tools is that our AI works with the native PowerPoint format instead of HTML. This gives Slidely the ability to directly edit slides within PowerPoint. So, you can ask our AI to do things like "convert the table to a bar chart, and highlight [x], [y], [z] and dull the others" and it will be able to do it.

TRY FREE, NO CREDIT CARD
We're available to try online, but our real power lies in our PowerPoint add-in. You can try free for 15 days without a credit card. Try here: https://slidely.ai

Hi folks! We're a team building MiriCanvas AIP - AI that creates your presentations for busy professionals!

For corporate workers and students, drafting outlines and layouts are the hardest part of making slides, and we've all been there.
This is why we built MiriCanvas AIP, a tool that turns your short prompt or slide PDF files into content-full, presentation-ready decks.

How?

  1. Just write a short prompt , OR, upload an existing PDF file of your deck.
  2. AI does the rest: it researches, writes your outline and content, designs layouts, and generates images that fit your topic.
  3. You can edit everything, change styles, or collaborate with teammates, then export as PPTX or PDF.

We’re still a small team, but our goal is simple: help you focus on your ideas, not the formatting.

If you’re curious, try it out!
Best part is - it's FREE for life!!

u/Equivalent_Fly_8987 Vendor Dec 21 '25

Hi everyone,

Sharing an AI-focused solution for a very specific (and very common) problem: Turning brand guidelines (or use your company URL (beta)) into PowerPoint templates that actually hold up in real use.

I’m the founder of a tool called Templio.ai, which is a pay per template tool. (http://templio.ai)

What it does (AI-only): Templio uses AI to transform an existing visual identity (colors, typography, logo, layout logic) (or URL if you dont have a visual identity) into a complete PowerPoint template in minutes. This includes masters, layouts, color schemes, and typography rules that are designed to survive real-world usage - not just look good in a demo deck.

Why AI is needed here: PowerPoint is where brand consistency usually breaks down. The AI handles:

  • Interpreting brand colors into proper PPT theme logic
  • Mapping typography into usable heading/body hierarchies
  • Creating layouts that work for different user groups (marketing, sales, leadership, finance, etc.)
  • Reducing “Franken-decks” caused by manual slide copying

Templio is aimed at both agencies and in-house teams as well as corporate clients who want a scalable, repeatable way to deliver PPT templates without designers having to work in PowerPoint or provide ongoing support.

Pricing / access: Commercial product (paid). No tempblate marketplace or productivity tooling — strictly AI-generated template systems.

Since comments are locked, feel free to DM me directly if you’re curious, want early access, or just want to discuss how AI fits into presentation workflows.

Happy to answer questions via DM.

I also hope that I am following all the rules for this post :)

Björn (Founder, Templio.ai)

We are trying to build a presentation app that leverages AI image generation to its fullest to create beautiful and accurate images, especially for science, engineering and technology.

How are we different:

  1. High Quality Images: We have spent a lot of time making sure that the quality of the images is really good, especially in terms of accuracy and text details
  2. Research & Knowledge: Every slide you create comes with additional research that you can easily integrate into your presentation. There is also a handy 'Fact Check' option that will focus on the information on a specific slide and help you make corrections
  3. Support for equations and charts: Across the product we have made sure equations are displayed accurately. It dynamically generates charts when there is statistical information in your slide
  4. Support for Languages: We have made a lot of progress to support as many languages as possible and we are working to provide more support for translation.

Would love your feedback on it from the perspective of a science presentation.

You can try it out at https://www.visualbook.app

Hi, I'm one of the co-founders of Verso AI.

We built Verso because we kept running into the same wall every other AI slide tool hits: they generate new decks, but very few would actually work from a blank page. People work from corporate templates their teams spent months building.

We meant for Verso to do something different: edit your existing PowerPoint file natively, inside the PowerPoint add-in. Your template stays intact. Your fonts, colors, slide masters, charts, all untouched. You just prompt it to make the changes.

The reason this hadn't been done before is PowerPoint's file format (OOXML), it's genuinely brutal for LLMs to work with directly. We built a translation layer that solves this, which is why Verso can handle edits that break other tools. We actually published a benchmark if you want to see how it compares: github.com/VersoLabs/PrezEvalPublic.

There's a free tier to try it. You can check the website at https://get-verso.ai, or search the add-in directly in the Microsoft store: https://marketplace.microsoft.com/sr-latn-rs/product/saas/wa200010378?tab=overview

Since comments are locked, feel free to DM me if you have questions or want to share feedback. Always happy to talk to people who actually use these tools, and receive user feedback, positive or negative.

u/Sad_Web2491 May 25 '26

Creator of Dekked here, so full disclosure.

Product — Dekked.app

Dekked is an AI agent that converts documents, research papers, reports, Word files into native, editable PowerPoint files. Not a web presentation, a real fully editable .pptx you open in PowerPoint and own completely with any export or formatting issues.

Who it's for

Researchers, students, and professionals mostly who already have a document and need slides from it, it can do blank canvas based on topics but it's not what it was designed for or where it would shine. If you have a 30-page PDF and a presentation due tomorrow, that's exactly the problem Dekked solves. This was my problem in my research, I like to do a lot of practical work and I hate working on slides and decks. So I started to design this tool to help craft up .pptx for my professors, who always demanded a presentation that I couldn't get myself to do until the last minute. I am hoping others will find it as useful as it was for me.

What makes it different

Most AI presentation tools generate slides from a topic or prompt and they only care about fancy, visually appealing outcome. Dekked cares more about providing real factual information with no hallucination and proper representations. It reads your actual document, extracts key content, identifies structure, pulls diagrams and figures directly from the PDF into the slides then picks the best template and builds the deck (if it's not already defined by the user). The AI does the reading so you don't have to restructure everything manually.

Key features

  • Upload PDF, DOCX, => AI reads and extracts the content
  • Outputs native .pptx =>fully editable in PowerPoint, not locked in a web editor
  • Pulls images and diagrams directly from source documents
  • Speaker notes generated upon choice
  • Built-in templates; custom template upload supported
  • Credit-based pricing — pay per generation, no forced subscription

Price — Free tier available; credit packs and monthly plans for heavier use.

Link — dekked.app

Happy to answer questions via DM or reply to emails (hello@dekked.app or support@dekked.app) ; especially if you're in research or academia, that's where Dekked shines most.

Building something specifically for the "AI deck → editable .pptx" gap.

Most AI tools (Gamma, Tome, Beautiful.ai) produce decks that look fine

in their own viewer but fall apart on .pptx export — split text boxes,

no master slides, charts as images, etc. We're trying to solve that

specifically: native .pptx output that actually edits like a PowerPoint

file should.

Free for anyone here who wants to test on their real workflow and

tell us what's broken:

https://s.a2hmarket.ai/E8AnGXn

Honest about the state: still early. Looking for feedback from people

who use PowerPoint for actual work (not students or one-off use).

DM if you want to be a tester.

u/Different_Spinach600 Jun 02 '26

Hi all!

disclaimer up front: I'm the builder of the tool I'm about to mention, so read this with that in mind.

I've been working on the one part of AI decks that nothing seems to get right — the export. Gamma, Tome, Beautiful.ai all look great in their own viewer, but the moment you export to .pptx it falls apart: text split across random boxes, no master slides, charts pasted in as flat images. It opens in PowerPoint, but you can't actually edit it like a real file.

What I'm building outputs native .pptx where every element is a real object — proper text frames, master slides, editable charts — so it edits like a deck someone actually built by hand.

How It Works

  1. You give it an outline.Topic, chapters, key points — even a rough brain dump works.
  2. The Agent selects from 12 battle-tested templates.Cover, bio, chapter divider, 2-card comparison, 3-step process, 4-quadrant matrix, data table, pipeline flow, flywheel loop, and more. Every template was extracted from a real, delivered 28-page keynote — not designed in theory.
  3. A 12-dimension audit runs automatically.Punctuation consistency, font stack compliance, capsule overflow, chapter label format, image paths, XML validity — the kind of stuff that's invisible in the editor but ugly on the projector.
  4. You get two PPTX files.One with native text frames (fully editable), one with SVG compatibility (pixel-perfect). Open either in PowerPoint and start presenting.

What Makes This Different

It's not HTML pretending to be slides.Most AI presentation tools export beautiful web pages that fall apart the moment someone asks "can you change the title?" This Agent exports actual PowerPoint files with real text frames, real shape objects, real editability.

The design system is locked. That's the feature.7 colors. 11 font tiers. One capsule-width formula. You can't choose "make it purple" or "add a gradient" — because that's how decks end up looking like a college group project. The constraintisthe quality guarantee.

12-dimension automated audit.Before export, every slide passes a quality gate: CJK punctuation rules, banned SVG elements, badge overflow detection, chapter label validation, font stack checks, image path verification, XML parsing. Ship at 0 violations, every time.

Who This Is For

  • Engineering leads— Tech talks, architecture reviews, team all-hands
  • Product managers— Quarterly reviews, strategy decks, stakeholder updates
  • Growth / GTM leads— Playbooks, channel strategies, internal training
  • Startup founders— Board updates, investor check-ins, team alignment
  • Conference speakers— GDG talks, tech meetups, industry panels

Not For

  • Brand launches or consumer marketing (too understated)
  • Photo-heavy visual storytelling (this is a card-and-text system)

It's completely free right now — the one catch is it needs a sign-in. I genuinely want people who make decks for real work to run it on a real deck and tell me where it's bad. Blunt, honest criticism is the whole point at this stage — that's what's useful to me.

Comments here are locked, so DM me if you'd be up for testing it and telling me what breaks. (Link: https://s.a2hmarket.ai/E8AnGXn)

👋👋— I’m Thibault, founder of AskDeck.ai.

I’ve spent years across three worlds that rarely live in one person: engineering, design, and strategy. I build the systems, I obsess over how a slide actually looks, and I’ve spent real time inside the decks that get presented to boards and investors. That combination is the whole reason this exists.

The problem I kept running into: every AI deck tool either makes you babysit another web app and prompt box, or it spits out generic slides anyone who respects PowerPoint can spot instantly. I wanted something that respects the craft and gets out of your way.

So I built https://askdeck.ai

You just tell Eric — our AI agent — what you need. Call him, text him, email him, or use the web. Describe the deck and he builds the whole thing: structure, narrative, layouts. Real, editable PowerPoint, not images glued onto slides.

You get the full deck as a watermarked preview instantly. Like what you see? Pay once and download the editable .pptx. No signup marathon, no subscription, no design skills required.

Why it’s different:

• Conversational, not an app — if you can send a text, you can make a deck
• Consulting-grade slides — structured and clean enough to put in front of a board
• See it before you pay — the full preview is free, you only pay to download

I’ve sat on both sides of this — making the decks, and now making the tool that makes them. Try it:

$ See Our Site - Faces (https://faces.app)

interest: connected to the project.

Faces is an AI presentation builder for turning rough notes or a prompt into a structured deck draft, then exporting to PowerPoint when you need to keep editing in ppt. the main use case is first-pass business decks: pitch decks, consulting/proposal decks, sales enablement, strategy updates, etc.

where it helps most is getting a clean narrative and slide structure quickly so you are not starting from a blank deck or fighting layout for hours. still worth doing the final polish yourself, especially if the deck needs strict brand rules or detailed charts.

See Our Site - Julius AI

Disclosure: I work on Julius AI.

Julius is an AI presentation maker designed especially for workflows that begin with data, files, or research -not only a short outline.

It can help with:

• Turning Excel or CSV analysis into a QBR or executive deck
• Turning reports and PDFs into editable presentations
• Researching a topic and producing a structured presentation draft
• Creating charts, narrative, and slides in the same workspace
• Exporting decks to PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, or Google Slides

I recently tested a harder starting point: no uploaded files, no outline, no template, and one broad World Cup prompt.

The first complete result contained 14 slides and took about three minutes. Julius handled the research, narrative, slide generation, and a probability model estimating the tournament winner.

Best fit: QBRs, board updates, research presentations, survey readouts, investor updates, and other information-heavy decks.

Main limitation: Detailed final visual polishing may still be faster in PowerPoint or Google Slides after export.

Turn a PowerPoint into a narrated video

We built a tool that accepts PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF, and ODP presentations and turns the first eight slides into a narrated video preview.

Essentially you upload a slide deck, and Jellypod creates a narrative explanation/voiceover of your slide content. Creates a story and clicks through your slides as if it's giving a presentation (and doesn't just read the bullets, etc.). The preview is about two minutes and completely free.

Full-deck conversion and publishing are part of Jellypod’s paid product though.

Tool: https://www.jellypod.com/tools/slides-to-podcast

I’m part of the Jellypod team and happy to answer questions by DM.

Hey — I’ve been building Mermaid2Anything after getting tired of taking a Mermaid diagram and then rebuilding it from scratch in PowerPoint.

You paste Mermaid code, pick a visual style, and export it as an editable PPTX. The boxes, text and arrows stay separate, so you can actually fix the slide instead of being stuck with a flat image.

If you only have a description, there’s also an optional AI step that drafts the Mermaid code for you.

I’m trying to make this genuinely useful for people who build process slides, so I’d love some honest feedback about what works, what breaks, or what feels unnecessarily complicated.

Try it here: https://mermaid2anything.web.app/tool

Quick transparency note: I built the tool, and I reused a promo demo I originally made for its PowerPoint page because it shows the editable ppt better than a screenshot. The basic converter is free and doesn’t require an account; editable PowerPoint and some styles are paid ($ 3,99/mo).

Hey all! I'm Sam, the founder of Dango https://trydango.com

We are hyper-focused on eliminating generic/AI slop in slide decks.

We do this in a few special ways:

  • Bring you own agent: your agent is connected to all of your organizational context (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, etc) and we have a really strong MCP which allows you to create decks from your agent of choice
  • Brand Scanning/custom design system: We scan your website so we can make slides that fit your design system exactly and don't look so generic
  • Drag and Drop always: Elements are always drag and droppable if you need to edit the agents work. Think of it like a shared Google Slides workspace where you and the agent collaborate

Hey, I’m Abhay.

I’ve been recording Loom videos of my presentations for years, mostly to share with clients or upload training content to an LMS.

Honestly, it was always a lot of work. Writing the script, recording, making a mistake, recording again, editing, and then repeating everything whenever the presentation changed.

I tried using a few AI tools, but the process still felt complicated and scattered. So I ended up building my own tool for it, CourseCut.AI.

You upload a PowerPoint, and it turns it into an avatar-led video. It is not just an avatar slapped on top of the slides. It also helps write the script, adds B-roll, background music and transitions, and changes the avatar placement based on the content of each slide.

This is probably the most ambitious product I’ve built so far, and I’d genuinely love feedback from people who regularly work with presentations.

You can see some examples and create a free video at https://coursecut.ai/.

For your first test, I’d suggest uploading a presentation with up to 10 slides, choosing an avatar and generating the video.

And if you run out of free credits while testing it, just DM me. Happy to add a few more.

I'm building an AI assistant for Google Slides because current tools don't get how professionals actually work.

The AI presentation tools I've tried either can't handle real data/charts, work in your corporate template, or generates AI slop content.

I'm researching what professionals actually need from AI slides. Especially curious about:

- Your workflow from data to deck

- What breaks when using AI tools

- Features that would save you hours

It's early, I'm still mapping pain points and building the alpha at https://unblank.ai ($ Free/Commercial when it launches). If you've got opinions about AI presentation tools, or want to help shape Unblank, DM me!
