Using AI

Turning an idea into a deck with AI


The blank-page problem disappears when you can just describe what you need. Create with AI takes a rough idea, notes, or an existing document and hands back a structured deck to edit from.

Create with AI is meant for the moment you know roughly what a session needs to cover but don't want to build the slide-by-slide structure from scratch. That covers more situations than it might sound like: turning a training outline you already wrote into a deck with quiz checkpoints built in, converting a meeting agenda into a session with a few discussion prompts mixed in, or just typing "10-minute icebreaker for a team of 12 new hires" and seeing what comes back. It's a starting point to edit from, not a finished, ship-it-as-is deck — treat the output the same way you'd treat a first draft from a colleague. This is different from the AI panel inside the editor, which works on one slide you already have rather than generating a whole deck. If you only need to fix the wording on a single question, jump straight to refining a single slide with AI instead — it's faster and spends far fewer credits.

  2. Describe your sessionPaste existing notes, an agenda, or an outline into the prompt box, or just describe the presentation you need in plain language — the more specific you are about audience and goal, the closer the first draft lands.

  3. Add context if it helpsAttach a supporting file so the deck can reference it directly, or switch on web search so the result can draw on current information about your topic instead of relying only on what you typed.

  4. GenerateSelect Generate and wait for the outline to build — a full deck typically takes longer to generate than a single slide edit, since it's producing several slides at once.

  5. Review and adjust the outlineReorder, edit, add, or remove any slide before you present it — nothing about a generated deck is locked. Swap a slide's type, tighten the wording, or regenerate just the parts that missed the mark.

Every generation spends AI creditsA full-deck generation costs more credits than a single-slide edit, since it's producing multiple slides in one pass.
Be specific about your audienceA prompt like "quiz for new sales hires on our product pricing tiers" produces a much more useful first draft than "sales quiz" — the more context you give, the less editing you'll do afterward.

Frequently asked questions

Is the generated deck fully editable?Yes — treat it exactly like a deck you built by hand. Add, remove, or swap out any slide, and none of your edits are undone if you regenerate a different part later.
Will it include interactive slides, or only static content?The outline can mix in interactive slide types where they fit your topic — Quiz Slides, Multiple Choice, Word Cloud, and more. Review what's generated and adjust types as you like.
What happens if I attach a file that's mostly irrelevant?The generation will still complete, but the result may pull in details you didn't want. It's usually faster to trim the prompt or file to just the relevant sections than to fix a generic result afterward.
Can I generate a deck in a language other than English?Yes — write your prompt in the language you want the deck in, and the output follows suit.
