Professionals often spend hours designing decks and fine-tuning colour schemes. Aside from being a chore, the work also steals time that could be spent refining messages for maximum impact.
So, why not let AI handle some of the burden? AI presentation makers can create draft decks in minutes based on your prompts. You can then refine the output with human insights and specify design criteria, all while leaving enough time to rehearse your speech and calm your nerves.
But a productivity boost is just the tip of the iceberg. We’re also now seeing how groundbreaking solutions can combine AI presentation makers with CRM data to create decks that have business insights built in from the get-go.
We’ve reviewed the top online AI presentation generators on the market to find the seven that stand out. We’ll examine what they offer and what makes them unique, and we’ll also take a look at how Salesforce can elevate AI presentations with real business data.
Salesforce AI delivers trusted, extensible AI grounded in the fabric of our Salesforce Platform. From smarter interactions to standout presentations, harness your customer data to create predictive and generative experiences across every workflow and industry with Einstein.
Let’s get started with a clear explanation of what this tool is and what it does.
An artificial intelligence (AI) presentation maker is an AI tool that generates slides, layouts, and images based on your prompts or outlines. It works a little bit like this:
The exciting part is that the AI will respond to your conversational prompts. You don’t need to ‘fill in the blanks’ like you would with a template.
For instance, you could tell the tool to change to a more informal tone of voice, give it a list of stats to incorporate, ask it to reduce or increase the number of slides, or request a colour scheme change – all with just a few seconds of actual work.
Enterprise AI built directly into your CRM. Maximise productivity across your entire organisation by bringing business AI to every app, user and workflow. Empower users to deliver more impactful customer experiences in sales, service, commerce and more with personalised AI assistance.
All AI presentation makers will help you make slides in less time, but this doesn’t mean every option is best for your task. We separated the good from the great by asking four key questions:
With this in mind, let’s get into the list. Here are our top seven AI presentation makers in 2025 at a glance.
AI presentation maker | Best option for | Key feature | Pricing *Please note prices are approximate and changeable |
---|---|---|---|
Gamma | Customisation | Tone of voice and audience selection | Free Plus: $10/seat/month Pro: $25/seat/month |
STORYD | Data storytelling | Narrative-driven formatting | Free Pro: $24/month Automate: $150/month |
Canva AI | Beginners | Thousands of premade templates | Free Pro: $15/month (single user only) Teams: $10/month/person (three-user minimum) Enterprise: Contact Sales |
Google Gemini | Google Workspace users | Best-in-class AI image generator | Pro: $19.99/month Ultra: $249.99/month |
Pitch | Sales teams | Integration with CRM data | Free (up to five members) Pro: $25/month for two seats ($19 for each additional seat) |
Beautiful.ai | Fast designs | Smart slides that adjust to content automatically | Pro: $12/month for single user (annual billing only) Teams: $50/month/user Enterprise: Custom quote |
Slidesgo | Free AI presentation maker | Simple and intuitive editing for free | Free: Limit of three assets/templates per month Premium: Scaled pricing starting at $5.99/month/user for unlimited assets/templates |
Gamma is the hallmark of what all great presentation makers should be. It’s fast and user-friendly, and it feels incredibly intuitive to use.
You can get started by entering a simple prompt to get a fully-functional, well-structured presentation framework. From there, you can tweak pretty much everything, whether that’s adding more or less text to each page, reorganising the order of slides or choosing between AI or web images.
You’ll get a great bundle of advanced features, too, like the ability to choose tone of voice and audience. But this never comes at the expense of usability. The platform does the basics brilliantly and doesn’t overwhelm you with features.
We found this to be the best tool overall for generating presentations that are consistent and beautiful in the least amount of time.
STORYD takes a unique approach to business presentations by placing the focus on data storytelling. Like Gamma, you start with a simple prompt and get a polished deck in seconds. But STORYD then takes this a step further by adopting a narrative-driven approach to help you tell a story with your data.
For instance, if you want to create a product pitch, STORYD will help you organise your data points into a compelling problem-solution-outcome format. Or, if you’re looking to create a personal portfolio, it can craft a storyline to show off your achievements in a visually striking way.
If you aren’t interested in creating a story with your slides, STORYD might not be the right choice. However, for things like brand storytelling and personal pitches, few tools do it better.
Canva isn’t exclusively built for presentations, nor is it exclusively an AI tool, but it does have a handy Magic Design feature that can generate slide decks based on prompts. Add your topic or text, and Canva will create a few potential templates to choose from.
The best part about Canva is that it requires little to no experience to get a professional-looking deck. Once you’ve entered your prompt, simply choose the template that fits, or you can refine your messaging to get a new set of options.
Canva’s ability to create everything from slides to landing pages and hero images can be an advantage for the designer who needs a single platform for multiple content types. However, because of its multifunctionality, the platform sometimes lacks the depth for niche presentation topics that need advanced tweaks and detailed data visualisation.
That said, if you don’t want to fork out a lot for a dedicated tool when you only create the occasional presentation, Canva is a solid beginner choice, especially if you’re already familiar with the platform’s other design tools.
Gemini is an AI assistant that’s part of Google Workspace, and it offers a Google Slides integration .
To be clear, Gemini isn’t a presentation maker by default, and it won’t produce a full slide deck based on a single prompt. However, where the tool excels is in its ability to generate text ideas and create AI charts, graphs and imagery to enhance your presentations. Think of it as a co-pilot that speeds up content production without doing all the work on your behalf.
We see Google Gemini as the ideal middle ground if you’re already embedded in the Google Workspace and want to use AI for support rather than as a replacement. You still maintain full creative control over the design of your slide deck, but you also have a handy assistant that can produce imagery and suggest content by your side.
However, if you want a fully automated tool that can generate a polished slide deck in seconds, a dedicated tool like Gamma or STORYD will suit you better.
Pitch stands out as one of the only presentation makers custom-built for teams. It has all the standard features you’d expect; you enter a prompt, pick the design elements and get a basic framework. It's flexible, fast, and intuitive.
However, where the platform stands out is in its collaboration features. Teams can work together on the same pitch deck in real-time, leaving comments, adding elements and revising content.
In particular, the app is perfect for sales teams. The presentation structure gives you the space to include everything from customer pain points to ROI metrics. You can also hook your tool up to data apps to pull stats from your website, CRM, or databases, and paste them straight into the template.
If you’re after a simple solution to create educational content or personal portfolios, this isn’t the tool for the job. However, for professional, engaging presentations co-created with teams, it’s a clear choice.
Beautiful.ai is our top pick if you want a rapid AI presentation maker that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Everything starts as you’d expect: You enter a prompt and get a first draft back instantly.
However, the real selling point of this platform is its ‘smart templates’ – slides that adjust automatically in response to the content you provide. For instance, if you insert an image or add a new line of content, the layout and design readjust instantly to maintain visual balance. This means less time spent fiddling with formatting and more time refining your messaging.
Of course, you can adjust your templates with a few extra customisation options if you choose. However, if you want complete customisation, you might find yourself at war with the auto formatter, especially if you want to break from the internal logic of the templates.
That said, if you’re seeking a professional-looking design and don’t mind handing over the formatting to AI, this is a great option.
Many AI tools on this list have a free version, but none offer the same breadth of no-cost features as Slidesgo .
You can see the quality of this tool right from the first interaction. Choose a title, select a tone of voice (TOV) and theme, pick your number of slides and generate your presentation with AI-produced text and imagery. You can then edit everything on an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Slidesgo isn’t as customisable or advanced as premium tools like Gamma or STORYD, but if you’re in the market for a basic presentation maker that won’t leave you out of pocket, it’s the perfect option.
AI presentation makers may be a fast way to create educational slides or even a product pitch, but they often fall short for businesses that need depth and precision. There are a few reasons for this:
All of this means AI presentation makers leave gaps that businesses need to fill manually, meaning teams end up spending time tweaking content, maintaining brand compliance, and integrating real data sources, so the AI tools become far less efficient.
This is where Salesforce can make a difference — not to build slides, but to power them with the right data, visuals, and collaboration.
Salesforce bridges the gap between AI slide generators and business data to help you build faster decks that are as accurate and persuasive as they are visually appealing.
By connecting your data with AI agents and collaboration solutions, we can help you build presentations that tell a story grounded in real business insights. Here’s how our tools can help:
Tableau turns raw CRM data into visual dashboards, charts and presentation-ready insights that you can embed directly into your slides. This lets teams tell stories, back up claims and make slides instantly understandable for decision-makers without the productivity sink of building visual elements manually.
Our CRM Analytics solution delivers AI-driven predictions and trends directly from your business data, exporting visuals and content summaries to your presentation software.
This reduces prep time for sales and marketing teams so they can spend more time focusing on presenting insights and acting on them instead of wrangling data manually.
Agentforce is the complete platform for building and deploying AI agents within your business.
While it isn’t a slide builder, Agentforce handles all of the behind-the-scenes prep work that goes into making a quality presentation. For instance, it can automate repetitive CRM tasks like pulling customer updates, KPIs or metrics needed for recurring business reviews. It can even summarise insights from Tableau and CRM Analytics to distil them for your presentation.
All of this ensures that the data you pull for your slides is up-to-date, accurate, consistent and ready to be visualised, and it gives your team more time to focus on essential tasks.
Slack acts as a central hub for teams to co-create presentations. Employees can provide insights from tools like Tableau and Agentforce, brainstorm content ideas, share visuals and metrics in real-time and more, all without leaving the platform.
This reduces the need for scattered email threads and feedback documents, keeping everyone aligned while speeding up the process of creating professional decks.
Different roles benefit from different AI presentation setups. Here’s a quick guide to match your niche with an AI tool and Salesforce add-on for maximum impact.
Your niche | Which tool? | Salesforce add-on | Why is this a great choice? |
---|---|---|---|
Sales teams | Pitch | Sales Cloud | Build fast presentations for clients with live account data and ROI metrics built in from the get-go |
Marketing | Gamma | CRM Analytics | Generate campaign metrics and integrate into data-driven decks with outstanding customisation options |
Product teams | STORYD | Agentforce | Build narrative-driven presentations for product launches, integrating automated metrics from Agentforce |
Educators | Slidesgo | Education Cloud | Leverage Education Cloud’s data and analytics to build fast, free lesson plans and training modules |
Executives | Canva AI | Tableau | Easily generate strategic presentations, using Tableau’s visuals to drive decision-making |

AI presentation makers can help you create dazzling slide decks faster and, frankly, make creating them a lot less of a chore. If you’re struggling to get past that first slide writer’s block, try one of the options on our list to reach a polished starting point in seconds.
A common barrier for enterprises looking to experiment with AI presentation tools is that they can’t easily connect them to real business data. That’s where Salesforce can help. Our suite of AI tools will help you unify and make sense of your data, turn it into visual insights and automate prep work so teams can spend more time crafting compelling stories.

An AI PowerPoint maker is a tool that lets you create slides with AI automation. You provide a prompt or outline, and the AI tool generates slides with images and layouts. You can then refine the content, adjust the design, and customise visuals manually as needed.
Other options include Microsoft Copilot Pro for PowerPoint, MagicSlides, and SlidesAI. All of these AI presentation makers have their own benefits and use cases, but they didn’t make our top picks today.
An AI presentation tool for education settings should be affordable and, most importantly, easy to use. For that, we suggest Slidesgo, as it has all of the features you need at no cost. Canva is also a great choice, as many students and teachers are already familiar with the platform's other tools.
