How does it compare to traditional methods and what are some pros and cons of using AI for this task? What are some AI tools or approaches that you've used or come across for generating presentation decks? How have they worked for you, and what are their limitations? Are there any exciting new developments in this area that you're aware of?

a few that have launched on producthunt πŸ˜„ Plus AI - focused on providing a "built-in" AI experience in Google Slides Tome - new "storytelling" app Beautiful.ai - presentation builder that has been around for a while

I fed ChatGPT a product management interview question to see how it would do and the results were reasonably good when I asked it to outline it's response and follow a particular framework. That being said, there are a lot of public answers/data to questions like the one I fed it. It'd probably require a really good prompt for the AI to write a useful deck, but it might help you structure the presentation.

I used Dalle for generating backgrounds for a presentation recently. Although I customized everything through Figma to keep everything on brand and in line with what I wanted to do. I haven't tried any other AI tools for copy or idea generation though. I rather use it to enhance or support my own work.
I wish I had one soon... πŸ™

Yes, I tried this tool called Tome.app which is similar to ChatGPT. It creates the pitch deck with slides and images based on our given inputs. It works pretty well!

@amark89 That's great, Amar! Thanks for sharing! Was there anything you didn't like or that needs to be optimized?

@sule_gorgulu The product is currently in the beta stage and offers a user friendly experience. it has also been integrated with DALL-E for images, Airtable and Figma, providing a quality look and feel. So far I'm impressed with the output. No cons I'd think of ATM..
Sounds interesting πŸ‘€

I heard about two tools ChatBCG https://www.chatbcg.com/ Beautiful.ai The first one did not work for me. It shows they don’t have anymore access but by video and what I found it is cool. The second did not try.

We recently tried for a charity event we were helping out on. It was great to formulate layouts and basic structure. However we had to rewrite the copy a number of times. Think it took us about the same amount of time as a regular deck. The consensus was it was great for short (eli5 type) presentations, but anything for corporate or business - because you had to rewrite the entire thing for tone and flow (just editing sentences or phrases made it a Frankenstein) - Its still not 100% there yet. Should be better this year though. Scary how far AI has come. Image generation was great, but still lots of tweaks depending on the skill of the person putting in the input (knowing the difference between "digital canvas" or "illustrated background" etc). Yea, I pretty much sucked at that.

Some time ago, I used a service that automatically creates a pitch deck including graphics based on prompts. I used it to create a sample investor deck for my app (a nutritionist chatbot). It was impressive for a start, but nowhere near production quality. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the exact link from my browsing history.

Just remembered. I used Tome: https://tome.app/
