How to use AI to create presentations faster [97]

Building slide decks from scratch is time-consuming. AI reduces the work significantly.

AI presentation tools:

  • Gamma.app: Generates complete presentations from a text prompt
  • Beautiful.ai: AI-powered layout suggestions as you build
  • ChatGPT/Claude: Generates the content outline and slide text you then put into PowerPoint

Best workflow:

  1. Ask AI to create a presentation outline: ‘Create a 10-slide presentation outline for [topic] targeting [audience]. For each slide, include: title, 3 key bullet points, and a suggested visual.’
  2. Take the outline into your preferred tool and build the deck
  3. Use AI to refine individual slide content as you go

Time saving: A presentation that takes 3 hours to build manually typically takes 45-60 minutes with AI assistance.
