Listen "AI for Slide Decks: Revolutionizing Presentations"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, the DAS crew explored various AI-powered tools for creating and enhancing slide deck presentations.
Key points covered:
Presentation AI tools fall into 3 categories - visualizers to generate images, editors to improve full decks, and generators to create decks from prompts.
Several services were demonstrated, including Canvas, Gamma, Beautiful.ai, and Slidesai.io and Tome.ai. Features and quality vary.
Most tools produce generic looking decks that still require customization and edits to fit brand styles and themes. More work needed than some may expect.
Using AI for initial ideation and content creation, then porting into existing branded templates seems a common workflow. Also combining image generation.
Evolution of enterprise tools like Copilot could be a game-changer by incorporating documents and conversations.
Education is a major use case for leveraging these tools to speed up student presentations and projects.
Key is finding the right balance of AI assistance versus manual effort for your needs. Matching expectations to current capabilities.
Overall the hosts were enthusiastic about the potential for AI to aid slide creation, but cautioned the tools are still evolving and some manual intervention is required. Identifying the right supplement for your process is key.
