How an AI Presentation Maker Simplifies Slide Creation

Creating a presentation involves several tasks. You need to plan your message, write the content, arrange the slides, and add visuals. You also need to check the design and make sure each slide is easy to read. Even a short presentation can take hours to complete.

Plus AI can reduce some of this work. It can help you turn a topic, written outline, or existing file into a set of slides. You can then edit the content, change the layout, and adjust the design.

This does not mean you have to give up control of your presentation. You still decide what to include and how to present it. The tool simply helps you complete some tasks faster.

Key Ways an Plus AI Simplifies Slide Creation

The process of making slides is not limited to putting down some lines on the slide. Information must be organised and the correct format must be chosen. An AI tool can help you in these processes, among others. There are seven ways in which it can do so.

1. Turns Your Ideas Into a Clear Slide Outline

It may be possible for you to know exactly what you want to communicate but have no concrete structure to present it. Creating an outline from scratch can prove challenging in itself.

However, with the help of AI, you can easily structure your slides with the help of a written prompt. All you will have to do is input the topic you want to present, and the areas that you wish to include in your presentation, along with the target audience and the tone and purpose of the deck.

For instance, if you were to create an outline for a sales proposal, the following points could be included:

• Introduction to your business.
• The problem your product/service solves.
• Key findings from the research.
• Your proposed solution.
• Details of pricing/project.
• Future plans for the client.

This tool will then create an outline using your prompts for each slide. It will be up to you to evaluate the structure and rearrange any slide if you find it unfit for your requirements.

2. Converts Existing Documents Into Slides

You might already have the content for your presentation. This could be a PDF report, Word document, project brief, or even a slide deck used previously. Converting all this information to a new presentation manually could take some time.

AI-based software not only allows you to upload documents but creates presentations based on them. Instead of typing all paragraphs manually, you could use a document as a source for your slides.

This could allow you to:

• Break down a long report into smaller slide parts.
• Select the main highlights of the document.
• Organize relevant information under appropriate headings.
• Construct a deck based on an outline.
• Shorten long paragraphs to slides.

For instance, you might have a 20-page research report. This document could become the starting point for a presentation. All the major sections of the report could be converted to slides.

However, you should compare the slides with the initial document. Double-check all figures, dates, names, and other important pieces of information. Make sure that the summary did not omit any vital information for the audience.

3. Reduces the Time Needed to Format Slides

Formatting slides requires various little actions. They include moving text boxes, resizing images, adjusting headings, and fixing spacing. Doing all those actions repeatedly throughout a presentation becomes quite tedious.

The use of an AI presentation maker allows arranging content using the available slide layouts. Thus, you have an opportunity to get a layout for a slide wAlso, there is a function called Remix which will allow yoithout having to arrange each element manually.

u to reformat a particular slide without losing its content. It can be helpful when you have a slide that is overcrowded or does not have an appropriate format.

You can also make use of editing features for such purposes as:

• Adding slides to the existing presentation.
• Rewriting text into a different form (shorter or longer).
• Rephrasing the content.
• Changing the layout of the slide.
• Improving the content that is hard to understand.

For instance, a slide with multiple long paragraphs can be reformatted into a heading with a few bullet points. You can edit the content and pick the required layout. Always check the final slide. Text should be easy to read, and important details should remain visible.

4. Facilitates Better Presentation of Data

Presentations of business and research typically have numbers involved. You could be required to give information on sales, results of surveys, cost of projects, etc. A large number of digits will complicate the interpretation by the audience.

Charts and tables come handy in organizing such information. The line chart would illustrate trends over a certain period, while the bar chart would be useful in comparing data of different categories. Tables would be helpful in providing exact figures where required by your audience.

Moreover, AI is capable of dealing with editable charts and tables, thus allowing working with these types of elements.

When incorporating a chart, keep in mind the following guidelines:

• Provide the correct data from your source;
• Indicate the appropriate labels and units of measurement;
• Make the choice of chart type in accordance with data;
• Keep the number of values reasonable;
• Highlight the key result of the presentation.

For instance, your monthly sales report contains figures for an entire year. Using a chart in this situation would allow highlighting months that were characterized by high or low sales and then provide a brief caption of what the numbers mean.

5. Enables You to Insert Images and Other Visuals

The inclusion of images, icons, and diagrams makes it possible to convey some concepts through images that require lengthy descriptions. They are also useful when trying to reduce the amount of text on any particular slide.

The process of inserting visual elements is time-consuming because one needs to look for a suitable visual element and resize and reposition it.

Besides, AI allows you to generate images and icons. By using prompts, you can create visuals that will be inserted into the slides. This feature can come handy when you need a visual element that corresponds to a particular slide topic.

Here are some tips on how to work effectively with visual content:

• Use images relevant to the topic of your slide.
• Select easily comprehensible icons.
• Create sufficient free space around each visual element.
• Avoid inserting images just to fill empty spaces.
• Check generated images for mistakes and inappropriate details.

A visual element should aid your viewers in understanding the main idea of the slide rather than distract them from it.

6. Helps Teams Ensure Design Consistency

If more than one person creates a presentation, inconsistencies in design may occur. One may apply a certain font style, while the other selects colours which do not correspond to the corporate brand. Using the same template can assist in overcoming the described difficulty, as it helps in setting up design rules.

Moreover, Plus AI provides users with an opportunity to create custom templates and branding for teams, including logos, fonts, colour schemes, presets, and custom instructions. Such settings help to make sure that your presentation is closer to the existing brand guidelines.

It will be especially helpful when creating presentations on a regular basis such as reports, sales pitches, or internal updates. There is no need to specify the same design rules each time.

Nonetheless, the template has to correspond to the content of the presentation. A template designed for sales pitches cannot be used for technical reports. Make necessary adjustments to the slides.

7. Lets You Work Inside Your Existing Slide Software

Going from application to application can slow your process. You may write your content in one application and then go into another to design the slides.

Moreover, AI operates as an add-on in some slide editing applications, such as Google Slides and PowerPoint. Thus, you will be able to use its tools in the course of working on your usual slides.

You can also work on particular slides rather than on developing an entire set each time. In case, you need to create a new part of the presentation, adjust an existing slide or modify its layout prior to your meeting.

Conclusion

Preparing a presentation is a process that consists of the following steps: planning, writing, formatting, and editing. An artificial intelligence-based tool for preparing presentations will help to perform all these tasks.

However, you need to check the final version of the deck. Make sure that you provide the correct information, read all the slide text, and ensure that the design fits your audience. AI is useful in the production process, but your decisions define the outcome.

Plus Docs provides Plus AI, which is a service for people who need to use AI-based tools within the presentation preparation process. This tool allows creating and editing presentations in supported software.
