Presentation Generator

Build a slide deck you can present — researched from your books or the web, one idea per slide, with pictures and speaker notes.

Presentation Generator is in beta — you'll see a Beta badge on the tool. It works end to end, but expect rougher edges than the other generators.

Building a deck

  1. Open your space and go to AI Tools, then open Presentation Generator.
  2. Say what the deck should teach, or pick a book and its chapters to build it from.
  3. Pick the grade, then choose a length, a theme and a shape — widescreen (16:9) or standard (4:3).
  4. Add any notes, like an activity to include or a point to stress, and select Build the deck.

The AI reads your chapters, looks up facts and pictures, plans the story and writes every slide. AI pictures take a moment to draw, so the deck appears once its pictures are ready. A picture that could not be added shows a placeholder you can fill yourself. You can also skip the form and describe the deck in the chat.

Changing slides in chat

Ask in plain words — "make slide 4 simpler", "add a quick quiz after the leaf slide", "remove the last two slides", "move the summary to the end". Slides change in place. Type @ to tag a book or @@ to tag a chapter to point the AI at exactly those sources — see Tag Books & Chapters.

A slide with a problem — too much text for its layout, or a picture that could not be added — gets a dot in the slide list and a warning badge above the slide. Open the badge to see what is wrong, then select Fix with AI, or Split slide when the text does not fit. Both put a request in the chat box for you to send.

Editing directly

Select any text on a slide to edit it; the text resizes to fit as you type, and your change saves on its own. If a change cannot be saved, the text stays open with your words in it: finish editing to try again, or press Esc to discard it.

Drag a slide by its handle in the slide list to move it. Each slide also has a menu with Duplicate, Move up, Move down and Delete. A deleted slide can be brought back with Undo.

Select a picture to change it: Regenerate draws a new one from a description, Wikimedia searches free photos, Upload uses your own, and Remove picture takes it off the slide.

Presenting

Select Present to show the deck full screen. Use the arrow keys to move through the slides. Press P, or select Open presenter view, to open the presenter view in a second window: it shows the current and next slide, your speaker notes in large type and a timer, and the audience screen follows it.

Downloading

Select Download, then PowerPoint (.pptx), Slides (PDF) or Handout (PDF). The deck is also kept in Documents, ready to reopen, edit or download later.
