AI Slides

What is AI Slides?

AI Slides is Genspark's intelligent presentation agent. Instead of just generating a deck and handing it to you, it builds the deck around you — following your needs, your content, and your brand.

• Built around you — Already have a template or brand style? It follows them. Want something new? It designs from scratch.
• Conversational by design — It understands your goal and talks it through with you first, then structures and builds the deck.
• Expert Skills, not just templates — Apply 100+ built-in expert Skills, or save your own style as a reusable Skill.
• A real built-in computer — It can actually run code, so data analysis, calculations, and charts are computed accurately rather than guessed.
• Multimedia and document conversion — Add AI-generated or web images, and import existing files (PDF, Word, Excel, PPT) to build from.

Quick Start

Get started in three simple steps:

1. Go to AI Slides

   Click "AI Slides" at the bottom of the Genspark homepage, or select it from the "New" menu in the sidebar.

2. Describe what you want to create

   Enter your topic, goal, or key message. You can also upload documents for AI to analyze and extract key insights.

   Sample prompts:

   Create a 10-slide presentation on renewable energy trends in 2024

   Try this

   Build a pitch deck based on my uploaded business plan

   Try this

   Make a sales presentation for our new SaaS product

   Try this

3. Get your presentation

   AI Slides automatically researches, structures, designs, and generates a complete, visually compelling deck. Review, refine, and export as PDF, PPTX, or Google Slides.

Choose Your Mode

Before you write your prompt, take five seconds to set the modes at the top of AI Slides. There are three choices, and they make a big difference to your result.

Professional vs Creative

This sets the overall style direction:

• Professional — Clean, structured, business-oriented. Best for sales proposals, internal reports, and consulting decks.
• Creative — More visual impact, with richer colors and imagery. Each slide is designed as a complete visual, like a poster. Best for brand campaigns, product launches, and marketing materials.

Quick rule: presenting to clients or executives → Professional; presenting to consumers → Creative.

A few things to know about Creative Mode:

• It supports multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9), making it suitable for posters, social media carousels, knowledge cards, and more.
• You can choose the image generation model (e.g. GPT Image 2 or Nano Banana Pro) and paste reference images to guide the style.
• Mark and Edit is always on — click anywhere on a slide to select an area, then describe your change. AI regenerates just that part while keeping the rest intact.

Note: Once a project is created, its mode cannot be changed. To switch modes, start a new project.

Guide Mode

By default, you type one prompt and get instant slides — fast and effortless. Guide Mode takes a different approach: AI acts as your presentation consultant, walking you through a structured consultation before building a single slide.

The difference is the role it plays. In the default mode, AI acts like an executor — once it understands your request, it builds the deck as fast as possible. In Guide Mode, it acts like a co-creator — a professional mentor that keeps discussing with you, sparks ideas, and confirms the outline with you before generating the final deck.

How to choose:

• Just want a quick result → leave Guide Mode off.
• New to AI Slides, building something complex or formal, or want control over every detail → turn Guide Mode on.

Standard vs Ultra

This sets the model quality:

• Standard — Fast and economical, good for everyday decks. Uses 0.5× credits.
• Ultra — The best choice for high-quality decks, with stronger reasoning and output. Uses 1.0× credits.

Quick rule: choose Standard when you want a fast deck, Ultra when you want the best quality.

Writing Effective Prompts

The key to a great deck is writing your prompt from the outcome. A vague prompt like "make a deck" leaves AI guessing who it is for, how long it should be, and what to cover.

Start with three essentials

Open your prompt with three things:

1. Audience — who is it for? (Clients? Team? Executives?)
2. Length — roughly how many slides?
3. Structure — how should the content be organized?

Instead of "make a marketing deck", write something like:

Build a Gen Z marketing strategy deck, 5 slides, conclusion first, covering market analysis, target audience profile, and marketing strategy

The more specific you are, the sharper the output.

Not sure how to phrase it? Just turn on Guide Mode and leave the rest to AI — it will walk you through and clarify what you need.

Add more detail when it helps

• Data source — "use 2024 data", "cite authoritative sources"
• Tone — "professional business", "young and energetic", "minimalist"
• Reference style — paste a screenshot of a deck you like
• Your own files — drag in a PDF, Word, Excel, or PPT and build from it

Prompt templates for common scenarios

• Sales proposal — "Build a sales proposal from [your company] to [client company], [N] slides, conclusion first, emphasizing the product value for the client."
• Internal report — "Build a [topic] quarterly review report, [N] slides, structured as current state, achievements, issues, and next-quarter plan."
• Training material — "Build a [topic] training deck, [N] slides, for beginners, with a hands-on case per chapter."

Slide Skills

Slide Skills are AI Slides' most powerful way to get expert-quality decks and keep your style consistent. Skills replace the older idea of templates — and go far beyond them.

What is a Skill?

A traditional template only reuses a visual look. A Skill packages expert thinking + design together. It tells AI not only how the deck should look, but also how to think, how to organize the content, and how to build the argument. Think of it as the way an expert works, packaged for reuse.

Use built-in Skills

Genspark ships with 100+ expert Skills, covering a wide range of work scenarios — Corporate Strategy, B2B Sales, Professional Training, Academic Research, Marketing, Data & KPI, Fundraising, Consulting, Product Management, and more.

1. On the AI Slides home screen, browse the Skills library below the input box. Switch between Featured and category tabs to explore.
2. Click the Skill you want to apply.
3. Enter your prompt — AI generates the deck following that Skill's expert approach.

With a Skill applied, the structure, the reasoning, and the visual style all follow how an expert would actually do it: a sales proposal uses a sales director's framing, a strategy analysis uses a consultant's frameworks.

Save your own Skill

Beyond the built-in library, you can save your own style as a reusable Skill — especially useful for reusing a brand template across your team. Your saved Skills appear under the My Skills tab.

The most common case is that you already have your own PowerPoint or PDF template. Open the New Skill dialog from the Skills library and choose how to start:

• Save my presentation as a template — upload a PowerPoint or PDF to turn your existing deck into a reusable Skill. This is the path most people use.
• I already have a skill package — import a .zip Skill that someone shared with you.
• I'm starting from scratch — build a custom Skill from the ground up.

You can also save a deck you are currently working on: click "View & Export" → "Save as Skill".

For client work: you can do the same with a client's brand — look up their colors and style, save it as a Skill, and apply it whenever you build a deck for them. It is a small touch that makes clients feel understood.

Reuse a project on the fly: You can also start a new project, paste the link of a project whose style you like, and tell AI to use it as the basis for your new deck.

Charts & Data Visualization

Presentations often stall on diagrams — process flows look uneven, org charts get tangled, and data charts mean a separate trip to Excel. AI Slides handles all of this internally, and because it actually runs code, the numbers behind your charts are computed accurately.

Charts you can generate directly

• Business process flows — order-to-delivery, user journeys
• Org charts — clean hierarchies
• 2x2 matrix analysis — competitor positioning, prioritization
• Funnel charts — sales and conversion funnels
• Gantt charts and timelines — project schedules, milestone planning
• Data charts — bar, line, pie, radar, and more

These are just the most common types — basically any chart you can think of, AI Slides can produce.

How to generate them

Specify what you want directly in your prompt:

Build a 10-slide product launch plan. One slide needs a 2x2 competitor analysis (by price and functionality), and another needs a user growth funnel.

You can also hand AI a data file and ask it to visualize it:

Use this sales spreadsheet to create a monthly trend line chart, a product-line comparison bar chart, and a regional distribution heatmap

Not sure which chart fits? Just ask — "What is the best chart for this content?" — and let AI recommend one. It often picks the most fitting type, sometimes one you would not have thought of.

Refining Your Slides

Once your deck is generated, AI Slides gives you two ways to refine it, plus a way to verify the facts.

AI Edit

The "AI Edit" button offers AI-assisted refinement. The available options depend on your mode:

• Professional Mode — Fix Layout (detect and fix overlap, overflow, and misalignment) and Polish Content (improve logic and layout while matching the current style).
• Creative Mode — Enrich Content, Simplify Content, and Redesign Layout.

You can also Mark and Edit directly: click anywhere on a slide to select the area you want to change, then describe your edit. AI regenerates just that part while keeping the rest of the design intact.

Advanced Edit

The "Advanced Edit" button opens a manual editor — much like working in PowerPoint, and it does not consume credits:

• Format text — bold, italic, underline, alignment, line height, spacing
• Edit colors — change text and background colors
• Manage images — upload, resize, reposition, or fit to frame
• Work on tables — insert and edit tables, rows, columns, and cells
• Reposition elements — drag, resize, or delete text blocks, shapes, and images
• Reorder slides — drag and drop to rearrange the sequence

(Advanced Edit is available in Professional Mode; for Creative Mode it is coming soon.)

Fact Check Content

Verify the accuracy of your data, statistics, and factual statements with AI-powered fact checking:

1. Click "Fact check content" in your presentation.
2. AI cross-verifies the facts and data across multiple sources to reduce hallucinations and confirm accuracy.
3. AI flags any problematic items with reference links, so you can decide what to update — or ask it to fix errors automatically.

This step is especially valuable for sales proposals and reports, where solid data matters most. A reliable flow is: simple prompt → fast generation → fact check → sharp result.

Present, Export & Share

Present online

View and present your slides directly in the browser, with no download required:

1. Click "View & Export" in your presentation.
2. Select "Presentation View" from the menu.
3. Click "Play Slides" to start presenting.

Export

Download your presentation as PDF, PPTX, or Google Slides (available for Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise users):

1. Click "View & Export" in your presentation.
2. Select "Export" from the menu.
3. Choose your format (PDF, PPTX, or Google Slides) and download.

A quick decision rule:

• Still need to edit it → export PPTX to PowerPoint
• Sending it straight to someone → export PDF
• Collaborating with a team → export Google Slides

Make a Copy

Create a full, independent copy of your presentation as a new project — useful when adapting slides for a different client, translating into another language, or creating a variation without affecting the original. Click "View & Export" → "Make a Copy", or simply tell AI "make a copy" in the conversation.

Share

Share your presentation through Genspark's project sharing:

1. Open the project share options.
2. Invite collaborators by email, or change General Access to "Anyone with the link".
3. If you choose "Anyone with the link", pick your sharing mode:
   • Presentation share — final slides only; the creation process is not included.
   • Project share — includes the full project and creation process.

Tips & Saving Credits

Plan for clean, balanced layouts

Want professional-looking slides? Plan your content structure before generating. Start with an outline and keep the information volume consistent per slide. If a slide looks crowded, split it across multiple slides — you can always pause generation and adjust as you go. Try:

Create a comprehensive outline first, determine the content for each slide, and keep the information volume consistent per slide. Wait for my confirmation before starting production.

Keep your style consistent

Two approaches that work well:

1. Sequential creation — tell AI to generate slides one at a time:

Please create slides one by one, do not process in parallel

2. Style approval workflow — approve the first slide, then have AI match it:

Please create the first slide and wait for my approval of the style. Then create all remaining slides to match that exact style — same fonts, colors, spacing, and layout structure.

For long-term consistency, save your approved style as a Skill.

Save credits

AI generation is what consumes credits — manual edits in Advanced Edit are free. A few ways to make the most of your credits:

1. Think first in a free AI chat. Building a deck spends credits on two things: thinking through the content, and producing the slides. You can do the "thinking" part for free — talk through your content and per-slide plan in a free AI chat (like Genspark's AI Chat), then hand the draft to AI Slides to produce. You only pay for production.
2. Create with Ultra, reuse with Standard. Building a high-quality deck from scratch is worth the stronger model, so use Ultra when creating a reusable Skill. Reusing a finished Skill is far easier, so switch to the cheaper Standard for everyday decks built from it.
3. Stop early. If the output isn't what you want, stop generation immediately instead of letting unused slides finish.
4. Use Advanced Edit for small changes. Reserve AI generation for major revisions; use the free Advanced Edit for text, formatting, color, and layout tweaks.
