5 AI tools to up your presentation game

1/ Best for building presentations quickly: MagicSlides

According to the internet, it was Benjamin Franklin who coined the phrase “Time is money.” No wonder the guy never wasted his energy noodling around with animations and fonts in a PowerPoint deck.

MagicSlides - a Google Slides plugin - saves you time by letting you crank out a fresh slide in minutes. You simply enter a few details and MagicSlides’ AI will get to work building a multi-page deck on your behalf.

Another aspect of MagicSlides that feels like a cheat is that you can give the app a document or YouTube video to work from and it’ll transform that into a presentation - including with fresh images and text. It really is that good.

Lastly, MagicSlides operates a freemium model, giving you access to three free slide decks a month - so even Ben Franklin could have saved himself time and money.

2/ Best for making good looking decks: Decktopus

Is there anything worse than an ugly slide deck? (No, no there isn’t.) 

Decktopus is here to put an end to garbage PowerPoint presentations.

With Decktopus, you tell it the topic of your deck, the intended audience, and what you want them to get from it. The AI will then conjure up the details, laying it all out for you in a clean, well-dressed presentation.

The app also has lots of customization features, and you can invite a colleague if you want to collaborate on a deck. (Or just show it off - your call.)

Decktopus has a lot of tools to get you started, but if you want the AI bells and whistles, you’re going to have to pay for a pro plan, which starts at $9.99 a month. But when the slides are this pretty, that might just be worth it.

Pro tip: Great looking slides are all about good font combinations. This TikTok has some combos worth trying out:

3/ Best for creating interactive decks: StoryDoc

For the longest time, the most dynamic thing about presentations was how, with a single click, you could make text fade in or get a bar chart to spin around. Hardly Cirque du Soleil.

With StoryDoc, not only can you add fresh animations to your slides (confetti, sliding charts), but you can also include high-quality videos and clickable next-steps. So if you want to add a RickRoll or (more sensibly) include a calendar-booking link on a slide, you can do that.

StoryDoc slides are also mobile responsive, ensuring they also look great on a smartphone or tablet. Put simply, StoryDoc isn’t your grandparents’ presentation tool.

4/ Best for editing your slides: Beautiful.ai

Size. Resize. Resize again. Everybody knows the tedium of fitting text and image assets on a slide. With Beautiful.ai, that headache goes away.

When you add a new element to a page, Beautiful.ai automatically moves other assets around so that everything fits together nicely; text will shrink or grow, photos will reframe - it all just takes care of itself.

Beautiful.ai also has a deep bench of page templates, which again, have been designed to slot all their elements together just perfectly. It really is like feng shui for your slide decks.

5/ Best for reworking your deck: Gamma

The selling point for Gamma is that you have an AI chatbot on-hand, always ready to make tweaks to your deck. 

Want to try a different style? No problem, tell the bot to show you alternatives. Not happy with the text? Gamma will rewrite it for you. It’s like having a very talented (and very patient) intern right alongside you.

Gamma will give you a bunch of credits to get you started, after which you’ll have to shell out for a pro plan, which starts at $8 a month. Nonetheless, if you build decks often, Gamma’s versatility could well be worth the subscription.

That’s it! But if you still want even more AI-powered slide deck tools, check out this batch.
