Useful Tools
Written By Tyrone Robinson

We all know that creating presentations can be time-consuming and challenging, but now there are plenty of AI-powered presentation tools and creation alternatives. This article explores the advantages of using AI-powered presentation generators. AI-powered presentation generators have emerged as valuable tools for professionals seeking to create quick and visually appealing presentations.

  • Decktopus AI is a presentation tool that merges visuals with informative content. By leveraging artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP), Decktopus AI supports users in creating captivating presentations that effectively convey knowledge and engage audiences.

  • Gamma.app is a presentation tool that leverages AI technology to create visually appealing and responsive slides. It automates the design process and offers an extensive range of features, including automated slide design, analytics, and feedback tools.

  • Tome.app is a presentation tool that harnesses the power of AI to transform storytelling. It has a unique generative format, an interactive canvas, and AI storytelling capabilities that allow users to create and share presentations that leave a lasting impression. Tome.app does present a slightly more involved process compared to other generators, but I doubt the outcome wouldn’t be well worth the effort.

By leveraging AI technologies, including natural language processing (allows the technology to adapt the tone, style, and content of the slides to align with the intended audience), machine learning, and deep learning, these generators can tailor presentations to the audience, resulting in more engaging and effective communication. As the AI field continues to advance, we can expect further improvements and refinements in presentation generation tools, empowering professionals to create compelling presentations effortlessly.

Which Slide Deck Generator Do I Use (Create)?

My Favorite (Before AI): Canva is a free graphic design tool that you can use to create a wide range of designs, such as social media graphics, posters, and presentations. Its Visual Worksuite is now powered by AI tools supporting the design process.

Which Slide Deck Generator Am I Most Likely to Use (Presentation)?

  • Prezi is a presentation tool that empowers users to create visually stunning, engaging, and data-driven presentations with its AI-powered design tools, interactive capabilities, and analytics features. I am most likely going to try Prezi to create my next presentation. I like that Prezi has both a presentation and a video option. The only knock for me so far is the cost structure. There’s currently no monthly option. To unlock all features beyond your trial, you’ll need to subscribe to the annual plan at $15 per month.

Pros and Cons

Why I Like It:

  • Content suggestions. Some of these options provide useful information. They can also provide relevant images, charts, and graphs to support key points.

  • Professional designs and the potential for higher quality and creativity.

  • Reduce the time and effort required to create a presentation

  • Several accessibility features will make your presentation more inclusive.

  • Consistent design theme, font styles, and formatting throughout your presentation.

Cons to Understand:

  • In some cases, there may be limitations to customization and creative control. Having specific branding guidelines or a unique design may be challenging to incorporate.

  • Initial learning curves

  • Flexibility. They may not be as flexible when it comes to making major structural changes to your presentation

  • Cost: Many options come with a monthly and/or annual subscription or licensing fee. 

Words of Advice:

AI algorithms are not perfect and may not always understand the context or nuances of your content. You will still have to do some work, there just may not be as many hours spent conducting research, drafting, and editing a presentation from scratch. As AI-powered presentation generators are trained on new data and user feedback, they have the potential to make iterative improvements over time.

Use It or Lose It? Use It!

AI-powered presentation generators offer numerous advantages, from idea and concept generation to unlocking the ability to create more engaging and interactive presentations. If we look beyond the potential time savings, I’d have to say the value of AI-powered slide generators may be the impact you are able to make on your audience.
