How to use SlidesAI templates

You can start from a ready-made template file, or generate a full presentation with AI and pick a SlidesAI template during the flow. Both paths work with Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Use the template library when you already have content and want a designed deck to customize in Google Slides or PowerPoint.

  1. Open the SlidesAI template library.

    • Full Draft or Script — your content is already written and you mainly need design help.

    • Source Material — you want to generate from a website URL or other reference source.
