💡 Quick Start: Follow these 1 steps in order to get up and running with SlidesAI quickly.
Explore the key features that make SlidesAI powerful for presentation workflows.
Paste text content and SlidesAI structures it into titled slides with bullet points, key takeaways, and basic layouts.
A product manager pastes meeting notes about a quarterly roadmap and gets a 10-slide deck with organized priorities.
Runs as a Google Workspace add-on, so you install it once and access it from the Extensions menu inside Google Slides.
A teacher who already manages all course materials in Google Drive generates lecture slides from her lesson notes.
On Pro and Premium plans, you can upload documents such as PDFs and Word files as input instead of pasting text.
A consultant uploads a 5-page research brief and gets a presentation-ready summary deck without manually extracting every section.
Choose from several presentation types, including informative, sales, and educational formats, that influence the generated deck structure.
A sales rep generates two versions of the same content: an informative one for the technical team and a sales-oriented one for buyers.
SlidesAI creates editable Google Slides presentations from text input or, on paid plans, uploaded documents. You can generate a draft deck, then edit the structure, wording, formatting, and visuals directly in Google Slides.
SlidesAI has a free plan that includes 12 presentations per year and a 2,500-character input limit. The Pro plan is $8.33 per month billed annually at $100 per year, and Premium is $16.67 per month billed annually at $200 per year.
SlidesAI is good for professional first drafts, internal updates, training materials, classroom decks, and routine business presentations. High-stakes external decks usually need manual design polish, better visuals, and careful content review.
Yes, document upload is available on the Pro and Premium plans. This is useful when the source material is already in a PDF, Word document, report, brief, or similar long-form format.
SlidesAI is the better choice when the required output is a native Google Slides deck and the user wants to stay inside Google Workspace. Gamma, Tome, and Canva are stronger for more polished standalone presentation experiences.
Now that you know how to use SlidesAI, it's time to put this knowledge into practice.
