Below is a quick-scan guide to the most popular AI-powered slide-generation services as of June 2025, grouped by how you’re likely to use them. I’ve focused on fully-hosted web apps that can start from a short prompt or outline, then added the major “AI inside” options that live inside the tools you already know.
1. Dedicated “type → deck” web apps
| Service | What it’s best for | Free tier? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gamma | Polished, mobile-friendly decks & microsites in under a minute | Yes (limits on exports) | Strong layouts, one-click restyling, and public-link analytics. (gamma.app) |
| Tome | Narrative-style, scrollable “story” decks | Yes | Good at mixing text, images, and video; integrates DALL·E 3 and Figma embeds. (tome.app) |
| Beautiful.ai | Classic slide decks that obey design rules automatically | Yes (watermark) | Lets you lock brand templates for teams; recent update added AI slide notes. (beautiful.ai) |
| Decktopus AI | Sales/teaching decks with interactive Q&A widgets | Yes | Auto-generates custom images and audience polls from your prompt. (decktopus.com) |
| SlidesAI.io | Plug-in that turns raw text into Google Slides | Limited free credits | Works inside Google Slides; also ships a PowerPoint add-in. (slidesai.io) |
| Plus AI | Chat-style slide creation inside Google Slides & Docs | Yes | Generates, rewrites, or lengthens slides from within the Sidebar panel. (workspace.google.com) |
| 60sec AI | Ultra-fast “one-minute deck” from a prompt | Trial | Minimal editing tools—great for quick drafts; export to PPTX or PDF. (search result not shown—new entrant, June 2025) |
2. Design suites with a built-in “magic deck” button
| Platform feature | How it helps you build slides fast | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Canva » Magic Design → Presentations | Enter a topic; Canva drafts a 10-15-slide deck with on-brand colors, AI images, and Talking Presenter video. | Free & Pro plans (canva.com) |
| Pitch AI | Suggests layouts, rewrites text, and finds Unsplash images; real-time team comments. | Free core tier; AI on paid plans. (pitch.com) |
| Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint | “Create from outline,” auto-generate speaker notes, redesign theme, translate, or shorten. | Included in Copilot Pro & Microsoft 365 E3/E5 add-on. (support.microsoft.com) |
| Google Slides with Gemini (formerly Duet AI) | Text-to-image (“Help me visualize”), summary & rewrite helpers; generates custom art styles. | Included for Google Workspace customers with Gemini add-on. (usemotion.com, promevo.com) |
| Adobe Express → Quick Action Presentations | Uses Firefly to auto-design slides you can export to PowerPoint. | Free plan with generative-credit limits. |
3. Niche / experimental generators worth watching
- Storydoc AI – builds interactive scrolling “web-deck” reports with animations.
- Weave AI – targets startup pitch decks; exports investor-ready PDFs.
- Kroma AI 2.0 – suggests data-storytelling visualizations and wraps them in a designed deck.
How to choose quickly
- Need the fastest first draft? Gamma and 60sec are both “prompt → deck → done” in under a minute.
- Want fine-grained brand control? Beautiful.ai or Pitch let you lock fonts/colors and apply them automatically.
- Already live in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365? Slides + Gemini or PowerPoint + Copilot save context-switching.
- Collaborating with non-designers? Canva, Pitch, and Tome support simultaneous edits and comment threads.
- Teaching or selling live? Decktopus adds AI-generated audience Q&A and forms right inside the deck.
Happy experimenting—AI slide tools evolve fast, so it’s worth test-driving two or three to feel which workflow fits you best.
