1. Open the Generator

In the editor, click AI Generate. You will see the generator modal with multiple input types. For this guide, you want Topic.

AI GenerateTopicType / Slides / Language / Goal

2. Write a Topic That Works

The fastest way to get a usable deck is to treat the topic field like a short brief. Add four things: audience, objective, scope, and constraints.

A simple topic template

  • Topic: [what it is]
  • Audience: [who is listening]
  • Objective: [what they should believe/do]
  • Scope: [what to cover, what to skip]
  • Constraints: [tone, time, level, region, data points]

Good topic

“AI adoption plan for a 30-person SaaS. Audience: leadership team. Objective: approve a 90-day rollout. Scope: use cases, risks, timeline, budget. Tone: direct, practical.”

Weak topic

“AI in business”

3. Set Type, Slides, Language, Goal

These four settings decide whether the deck feels like something a human would actually present. They also decide how much content you get and how specific it is.

Type

Pick a format that matches your real deliverable: school presentation, investor pitch, sales proposal, talk, workshop. If you want something specific, choose Custom and name it.

Slides

Short decks are easier to polish. Use 5 or 10 for most cases. Use Auto when you want the tool to decide pacing.

Language

Choose the language you will actually present in. If you need bilingual content, generate in one language and translate slide-by-slide later.

Audience Goal

This is the secret weapon. Write the outcome you want: approve budget, teach a concept, convince a buyer, align a team.

If you want more control than Topic allows, use Outline mode. Topic is for speed, Outline is for steering.

4. Generate the Deck

Click Generate Presentation. The editor will create a new deck and populate the slide list. From here, your job is not to redesign. Your job is to make it sound like you.

First pass checklist

  • Skim the slide titles in the sidebar. Do they tell a story in order?
  • Remove slides that repeat the same point.
  • Replace generic examples with your real ones.
  • Keep it short. More slides usually means more cleanup.

5. Refine Slide-by-Slide

Use two tools for speed: direct editing and AI Director. Direct editing is for quick copy fixes. AI Director is for rewriting, restructuring, and polishing the current slide.

Direct editing

Click text on the slide and edit it like a doc. Keep the idea, tighten the phrasing, remove fluff.

Rule: If it reads like a template, cut it. Replace with your vocabulary.

AI Director

Open AI Director and give it a concrete instruction for the current slide. You can undo the last AI change if it goes sideways.

Example prompts

  • “Rewrite this slide for an executive audience. Keep it short.”
  • “Turn this into 3 crisp bullets with a strong headline.”
  • “Remove hype. Make it practical and specific.”

6. Add Images (Optional)

If a slide has an image placeholder, click it. You can search stock images or generate one. If you do not need images, keep the deck text-first. A clean deck beats a noisy deck.

A Stock Search

Fast and safe. Search a keyword that matches the slide message, not the slide title.

B Generate Image

Use for abstract concepts or when you want a specific vibe. Keep prompts simple.

C Upload

Best for screenshots, product shots, charts, or your own brand assets.

When you are in a hurry, pick one visual style per deck. Consistency looks intentional.

7. Export PPTX or PDF

Export is the point. Use PPTX when someone will edit later. Use PDF when you want a locked version to send or print.

Export choices

  • PPTX: best for team workflows, updates, and last-minute edits.
  • PDF: best for sending, printing, and presenting anywhere.

Troubleshooting

  • The deck feels generic: improve the topic prompt with audience and objective, then regenerate, or rewrite key slides with AI Director.
  • Too much content: use fewer slides, or ask AI Director to cut copy by 30 percent on the busy slides.
  • Not enough structure: set a clearer Goal, or switch to Outline mode for stronger control.
  • Images feel random: search for one consistent keyword theme, or remove images entirely and keep it text-first.

FAQ

Yes, through Type, Slides, and Goal. If you want stronger control, use Outline mode.

Does it include images automatically?

Some slide templates include image placeholders. You can fill them via stock search, image generation, or upload.

What should I do after generation?

Do a fast cleanup pass: fix the story, tighten copy, replace examples, and export. Use AI Director to polish the key slides.
