AI Presentation Makers FAQ

Most presentation AI tools offer a free plan, Gamma offers 400 free AI credits for example and is therefore one of the most generous brands.

Prezi gifts you with 500 AI credits, but doesn't offer such a wide range of use cases as Gamma, with which you can also generate social media content or even websites.

Check out our AI tools List for Presentation AI, we also list the free plans of each tool there.

| But also all other presentation AI makers offer free plans, mostly between 7-14 days or based on AI credits.

If you are looking for a tool that creates presentations with AI, you have various options.

But allow us a joke first: instead of telling you a powerpoint presentation maker, we'll tell you a tool that has updated it's design to this century, unlike Microsofts famous software with a 90s look.

Ok, jokes aside, great presentation AI makers are: - Gamma (great for content creation, automatic formatting and superb design) - Prezi (great for advanced presenters, with a Miro board feel) - Prezent (only for enterprises, tailors each presentation to the recipients visual preferences) - Slidebean (great for startups, funding, business plans)

‍

Gamma presentation maker is able to create presentations from a simple prompt, here is an example: https://www.aitoolssme.com/comparison/ai-tools-for-presentations#gamma

It will create slides, generate text and add the right pictures to it. It's one of the first tools that's able to create presentations in seconds.  You can also start out with a prompt based presentation and customise the content to your own brand, language and style in the next step.

Gamma has a Flux and an Imagen integration so that you can easily create exactly the images within the same tool. Usually Gamma will create a first draft with their own prompts but the style and image generator you chose in the beginning. But later on you can refine each prompt and generate or change images just how you like.

If you want to simply summarise a PDF, you can easily use ChatGPT. All multimodal Open AI models, should be able to read and summarize a PDF.

If you would like to use the content to generate presentations, you can easily just uplod the PDF in Gamma (even on the free plan) and it will create a presentation outline for you.

Of course you can skip the ChatGPT part if you want to create a new presentation with it anyway.

Most modern AI presentation makers offer this feature today. Gamma, Canva, Prezi for sure. Instead of downloading your slides and attaching it in an email, just send the link to your co-workers or clients. Spy ware: If you want to see who has checked out your presentation, you can take a look at the analytics of some of the tools (Gamma e.g.) and even see how many slides your audience looked at.

Various: Gamma, Adobe Express, Canva, SlideSpeak, Pop.AI and Mentimeter all can translate your slides with just a click. Which is an extreme time saver if you work with clients all over the world.

Let's go through a few: Adobe Express is kind of nice because it's a full toolbox which let's you also generate 2 AI video for free within the same tool. You can also access an image generator, but that is more common in AI presentation makers, Gamma for example also lets you access amazing image generators from Flux and Imagen. Another special feature of Gamma is that you can integrate a Spotify playlist within the presentation. If you place it in the beginning and your audience hits the play button, they will be accompanied by your soundtrack and vibe with you.

Especially for more playful presentation decks, this is a nice cherry on top. Prezent is an enterprise-focused AI presentation platform that personalizes content delivery for optimal engagement.

During onboarding, each employee completes a brief questionnaire that captures their visual learning preferences and presentation style requirements. When presentations are distributed, Prezent automatically customizes the slide deck for each recipient, transforming the same content into their preferred format. This personalized approach ensures that every team member can absorb and process information more effectively, leading to better comprehension and engagement across the organization.

Nested cards are a Gamma feature and they are widgets within a presentation deck that allow for adding more details or information on a slide. Users have to actively click on them to see the additional infos. This way the presentation stays clean and neat, especially when a presentation is delivered, it's good if slides are not cluttered. However, once the slides are distributed, the context the speaker provided may be necessary to fully understand everything.

Gamma offers this unique feature. For instance, you could integrate relevant podcasts on the last page, similar to a "Go deeper" section.

Also songs or full audio books can be embedded via Spotify in Gamma presentations.

The prompt-to-presentation feature is also called AI presentation maker. You simply have to give a few queques about the presentation topic and AI presentation makers will generate a full presentation including text, image and various slides for you.

The more information you give the software, the better it can cater to your needs.

For example you could add the number of slides, tone of voice, topics to include or emphasize on, preferences for visual slides and such into your prompt. Almost every AI presentation maker has this feature, funnily Powerpoint doesn't.

Most AI presentation makers nowadays can write your presentation for you.

Prezi, Gamma, and PresentationsAI are just a few of the many that are able to. However, it depends on your topic.

Presentation makers can access LLMs and add text on topics they can access on the internet (the database of LLMs) But the more nuanced the topic, the less value LLMs can add. You should always try to find a good mix between using your own knowledge and using AI to create the outline, visuals and formatting.

‍

Great questions, but it should be: Which AI tool can format my presentation WELL? Because many AI tools do a very weak job here.

You can always on Gamma, Canva or Prezi for this. A rule of thumb should be: if the tool is free or extremely cheap they'll probably do a terrible job with the formatting (for example PresentationsAI, they struggle with their visuals a lot). These tools focus more on the content, which is generated by LLMs.

But if you also want an appealing presentation, you're better off either designing it yourself or spending a few bucks.

We know that Gamma is often used by teachers because it is able to generate a whole presentation from a simple prompt. Especially primary and middle school teachers can save a lot of time by letting Gamma assemble all information, images and do the formatting for their slides for school. Most likely this is also the way savvy students do their presentations nowadays. (Imagine everyone giving each other presentations this way, kind of funny and sad at the same time).

Slidebean is specifically built for this, it's targeting startups and founders to help them request funding. Slidebean offers features such as Pitch Deck Templates, AI Pitch Deck Builder, Online Collaboration, Automated Slide Design, and Analytics. They also go beyond their slidemaker. They offer an Investor Tracker, Financial Modeling and give you access to their expert network. We've subscribed to their newsletter and love it, lots of AI related news.
