To create a presentation with AI, first build the outline and the key message with an assistant. Then generate the slides in a tool that applies your colours and exports to PowerPoint or PDF. Before presenting, replace generic figures and visuals with your own checked data.
Prepare the outline of a [number]-slide presentation for [audience] on [topic]. Goal: for the audience to [decide / understand / adopt] [what]. For each slide: a title that states the idea, three points at most, a suggested visual. Use only this data: [paste your figures]. Do not invent any figure or quote.
Replace the parts in square brackets. Always reread the result before using it. Learn to write a good request

Check that the PowerPoint export stays editable and that the layout holds once the file is opened in your software.
The tool must accept your logo, colours and fonts, and ideally your own slide template.
Prefer a tool that lets you fix a single slide without regenerating the whole presentation.

ChatGPT is OpenAI’s chat assistant. It writes, summarises, translates and analyses files from written or spoken instructions. It comes as a free version, individual subscriptions and business plans.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is the AI assistant built into Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It draws on the emails, files and meetings the user can already access.
Canva is an online graphic design tool with ready-to-use templates for visuals, presentations, videos and documents. AI features help generate images, text and layouts.
Gamma generates presentations, documents and web pages from an instruction, a text or a file. The content can still be edited in an online editor and can be exported or shared via a link.
Beautiful.ai creates presentations whose layout adjusts automatically to the content. An AI assistant can suggest a first version from your instructions.
Yes. Some tools generate slides and then export them in PowerPoint format, and assistants built into office suites work inside the software itself. Expect a few layout touch-ups after exporting.
Upload your template, logo and colours to the tool before generating. Design tools often offer a reusable brand space. Otherwise, generate the content and paste it into your own template.
It can suggest a type of chart and draw it from your data. Provide the figures yourself and check the axes and totals. A wrong chart misleads more than a simple table.
