AI in Google Slides

Create professional presentations in minutes with AI-generated content, imagery, smart layouts, and speaker notes. Transform how your organization builds and delivers presentations.

AI-Powered Slide Generation

Gemini in Slides can generate entire presentations from a simple prompt or outline. Describe your presentation topic, audience, and desired length, and Gemini creates a complete deck with structured content, relevant visuals, and consistent formatting.

✅
Pro Tip: For best results, provide Gemini with a clear outline: "Create a 10-slide presentation on Q2 sales results for the executive team. Include an agenda, key metrics, regional breakdown, top deals, challenges, and next quarter outlook."

Image Generation

Gemini can generate custom images directly within Slides, eliminating the need for stock photo searches:

  • Custom Illustrations: Generate unique visuals that match your presentation theme and brand guidelines
  • Diagrams and Charts: Create conceptual diagrams, process flows, and architectural illustrations
  • Background Images: Generate subtle, professional backgrounds for slide sections
  • Icon Sets: Create consistent icon styles for feature lists and comparison slides
