SlidesAI turns a topic, notes or a document into slides inside Google Slides and PowerPoint, with a free plan and paid plans from $10 a month billed yearly. It is a sensible, low cost add on if you want to stay in Google Slides, but the slides look plainer than those from top deck makers and every plan caps how much text you can feed it.
What SlidesAI is
SlidesAI is an AI presentation tool that works as an add on for Google Slides and PowerPoint, as a web app, and inside ChatGPT SlidesAI home ↗. You give it a topic, notes, a script or a document, set the tone and language, and it builds a draft deck you can edit SlidesAI home ↗.
The Google Workspace Marketplace listing shows more than 15 million installs Marketplace listing ↗. SlidesAI says over 3.7 million presentations have been made with it SlidesAI home ↗. In the Google Slides add on, you choose a presentation type such as general, educational, sales or conference, pick the number of slides and set colors Marketplace listing ↗.
Zapier included it in its list of AI presentation makers because it brings AI into the app you already use Zapier ↗. Hands on testing is in progress.
What it does well
You stay in your usual app. The main appeal is that you do not have to move your work to a new platform. Decks are built in Google Slides or PowerPoint, and SlidesAI can also export to PPTX, Google Slides or PDF SlidesAI home ↗.
Several ways to start. SlidesAI lists topic to slides, notes to slides, script to slides and document to slides SlidesAI home ↗. Paid plans add document upload SlidesAI pricing ↗.
Language and tone control. You can set tone, style and language before generating, and write in one language while presenting in another SlidesAI home ↗.
Guided setup. Zapier notes lots of step by step settings and guidance, which helps if you are new to AI tools Zapier ↗.
Brand Kit. SlidesAI says decks can come out in your colors, fonts, logo and layouts SlidesAI home ↗.
Where it falls short
The design is plain. Zapier says its output is not as attractive or high quality as other tools on its list Zapier ↗.
Text input is capped on every plan. The free plan accepts 1,000 characters per presentation, Pro 6,000 and Premium 12,000 SlidesAI pricing ↗. Zapier flags the character limit as a drawback even on paid plans Zapier ↗. Long reports have to be cut down first.
Built in AI is catching up. Zapier notes that Google's and Microsoft's own AI can do more or less the same job, just with less handholding Zapier ↗. If your Workspace plan already includes Gemini in Slides, you may not need it Google Workspace pricing ↗.
Mixed user reviews. On the Marketplace listing, some reviewers say it struggles to update or adjust existing slides, one paid user reported very slow generation, and others find the limits restrictive Marketplace listing ↗. One reviewer says subscriptions cannot be refunded after 15 days Marketplace listing ↗. Check the refund policy before you pay.
Broad permissions. The Google add on asks to view, edit, create and delete your Slides and Sheets files Marketplace listing ↗. That is normal for this kind of add on, but worth noting for company accounts.
