What is this tool?

SlidesAI is a Google Slides add-in that converts text, outlines, or uploaded documents into structured presentations, with AI-chosen layouts and templates. It is aimed at people who work inside Google Slides and want a quick first draft without building slides from scratch. Simpler and more affordable than Plus AI; does not support PowerPoint.

By QT Desk
Read full overview

You install SlidesAI from the Google Workspace Marketplace and run it inside Google Slides. Type or paste text, an outline, or upload a document (on paid plans), and the add-in generates a structured slide deck with layouts and templates applied. Results need review and editing — the AI produces a starting structure, not a finished presentation. It does not extend to PowerPoint or other presentation tools.
